Re: Ex Royals (No not prince Andrew)

Adrian Mariappa will be part of the interim coaching team overseeing Watford's game at Hull City on Tuesday evening - despite playing for another club. The 39-year-old played 340 games in two spells for Watford during his career, and is now an academy coach, but still turns out for St Albans City in...

Tom McIntyre released by Pompey according to their Facebook page Would be good of club to maybe let him use our facilities to train (and for us to assess) Don't think he'd be disruptive to the team ethos from the way he's been talked about. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/aberdeen-snap-up-f...

Re: The window closes at 7pm on Monday 2nd February

Brogue (Huang) has been singing over on Twitter -

Lisbie deal is dead, but…. Window is not over.


And

Do we have a contingency? Yes. Yes we do


Possibly Cheltenham town’s Jordan Thomas? :wink: (The player that Colchester had lined up to replace Lisbie)

Savage outgoing has gone quiet

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

Just seen the highlights - those two Wing balls absolutely phenomenal. Inch perfect and neither and easy pass He got a fair bit of criticism last games but his stats are superb and he does a large amount of defensive work as well. He is quality Main difference looked like 2 good finishes from our g...

Leam Richardson has revealed to The Reading Chronicle that Daniel Kyerewaa will be 'out for some time'.

(Up to 8 weeks is mentioned in the comments -

8 weeks I’ve heard from speaking to George Friel [who?])

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (a)

I’d have rather had Kelvin for Doyle and I’d have liked that attack But can understand why we prob need him on the bench instead Doyle still baffles me as to what he really adds. Will need to watch him more closely I guess Your are not the only one. Doyle doesn't add much - he's tidy, safe, a bit b...

Re: How best to approach the rest of the season

We all sit here saying mid table is great, and after everything that has gone on at the club then mid table really should be looked at as being great, but in truth mid table is the most boring place to be especially as the season progresses!! You go/watch the games and you can tell we're mid table!...

Re: How best to approach the rest of the season

It's the draws that are the problem as the majority of teams in 5th to 10th have lost more games than us over the past 6 matches. We've got a game in hand over most of these sides too so it only takes a few wins for us and a few loses for them and we could scrape into the lower play-off positions I ...

Re: Garcia to be sold

It does feel a bit disappointing. He's one of our higher potential players who could be worth a lot more if we develop him. On another thread I pushed back strongly on the idea that we should be priorising youth over signings like Roberts and Nyambe, but I think with the squad as it is, there is sp...

Re: The window closes at 7pm on Monday 2nd February

Clyde1998 Garcia's away for a medical, so he's almost certainly leaving for Club Brugge.


I keep reading that as Club Brogue for some reason (not wanting to give Couhig any ideas on re-naming Reading)

Will be interesting to see if Savage is in the squad tonight if this rumoured move hasn't gone through by then. Is there actually a rumoured move, just rumours that a couple of clubs are interested and may bid. The original Oxford rumours came from local journalists. The Portsmouth/Norwich rumours ...
