Nights like last night really test your resolve for football - let alone supporting Reading. We showed nothing, no patterns of play, no chances, nothing - and it was incredible we got a point. Three elements of our team get us ticking - 1- Getting Wing on the ball dictating play 2- Getting Kelvin E....

Let the result and performance sink in, for what was a complete waste of a Saturday visiting east London for such an abject performance. One obvious frustration that I haven’t seen picked up is Campbell was at fault for BOTH goals. He needlessly lost possession for the first by not playing the ball ...

Taken a few days to let the performance sink in. Massive overreaction imo. I didn’t see hardly any/ if any differences in that first half performance vs a Selles side in terms of set-up, build up etc. Under Selles we played a lot of those long balls from defenders with the aim to win the second ball...

Today could be THE DAY...

Dellor said to him something like, but your relationship with Selles is good now? And Holmes largely swerved the question and talked about just being professional and getting on with doing his job. It spoke volumes. My impression was there is no love lost between them and it’s all about being profe...

Obviously not ideal losing players, but elephant in the room, look at the players we have lost in the past during Dai's tenure on a free where we could of got a fee for them (Richards, Swift, Laurent, Joao, Meite). Now I know we are getting minimal fees here (but we obviously need the cash to cover ...

I predict the Reading kids (yoof) won't be getting selfies with Dai this season in the pub and outside the ground plastering it all over social media!

If Georgey Puscas can bang a hattrick at the JJB which turned one of the most drab away days into a frenzy then anything can happen. Also love that it was the ground that Sir Steve refers back to - when we lost last game of season and they went up in 04/05, the catalyst for the 05/06 'bottle this fe...

Funny one with Holmes, after his performance at Port Vale I would have snapped anyone's hands off if they wanted him. He was rightly dropped after that performance then we didn't seem him for a while, all be it we went on a terrible run - he came back in the team and we picked up again. His presenc...

So much hype around this signing, but lets be honest - he has underwhelmed and hasn't earned a starting spot and since he has lost his starting spot we have seen our recent upturn in form. Sideways and backwards passing, Elliot is streets ahead of him currently and he can't get in the team either. ...

Absolute toothless display, like many after the first 10 mins I thought it was just a matter of time. But those ten mins must have gone to the players heads and they were clearly just treating it as a training match thinking it would be a given we would eventually score. We didn't, we got sloppy and...

Genuine question. Dai is open to selling and listening to offers, which will keep happening. Aside from drawing national attention, what will more marches and tennis ball protests achieve if owner is already willing to sell? Not a criticism at all, as I think all the SBWD movements have been great a...

Views in no logical order - - Great having Yids back, probably best performance from our side today, reports of him shhhh’ing fans a shame but don’t think booing the team after todays performance was justified (it was Tuesday of corse), but booing them today was doing no good and perhaps just a capt...

Managed to have a few mins with Sir John after the game today, asked him his views or if he any idea on progress of sale.

‘Not even close at this stage’

What does Ben Elliott have to do to start a game of football is this shambles of a team? Hutchinson, Wing, Elliott in the middle on Saturday. Convinced you have three players there that cover all attributes needed of a centre midfield that has been walked through in virtually every game so far this ...

Such a frustrating display, but like previous games it’s difficult to vent frustration given most of them out there are academy boys playing their first season on senior football. FWIW - - Azeez and Vickers up top, Cambridge centre halves must have been delighted to see that on the team sheet, won’t...
