Aluko is not a central striker...which is where he's been deployed on most, if not all, of his starts Neither is he a deep midfielder, which is where he's had to go just to get involved in games. I feel really sorry for him, because he just isn't going to flourish in this system, and he more than mo...
Rotherham were awful...typical cynical Warnock side. I have no idea why we persisted with just one up front for so long, against such mediocre opposition, at home. Game changer was the substitution that finally gave us two strikers, and although Norwood looked pretty unhappy at being subbed, he'd no...
Until he is able to build his own team, rather than rely on the defensive inadequacies left by his predecessor, I really don't think anyone can say they are unimpressed. Evans from Man City sounds like an excellent acquisition, if it comes off, but a decent left winger and a striker must be a priori...
He has the brain to overlap the right winger, but when he gets the ball, his crossing is utterly abysmal. Unlikely to get a new deal, and will surely go for free in the summer
I've a funny feeling that the club could be underestimating ticket demand for this by only opening East and West Lower to Reading fans, despite the £10 price of a ticket.
Ground not particularly well served by public transport...Milton Keynes Central station is about 4 miles away, Bletchley is about 2 miles, and Stony Stratford (which is not on the main line) is about 1 mile away This must be a new ground for many, so I would have expected higher ticket sales than wh...
Those of us of a certain age who remember Bibbo's pretty poor efforts in goal for us in the late 90's were frankly stunned when he became a goalkeeping coach! No great loss in my opinion, and will surely be replaced by better
Fascinating read. From my seat, high up, the two lines of four were evident, and from my untrained eye, I was worried that they were too close together, and that Mackie and Pog would end up being isolated. However, Danny Williams had probably his best ever game for Reading, breaking up attacks, runn...
I have a ticket at the front of Block 112 (the singing block) that I would like to swap for one in the upper tier so I can be closer to friends, if anyone is willing? PM if interested. It was ordered by phone so not actually delivered yet, but can send as soon as received
I hate to dampen your mood further, but the Premier League game on at the same time is Chelsea v Man Utd, not Man City v Villa! So if the ship are showing football, you will have some stiff competition. Will the game not be streamed on the bbc website?
I too was at Bromley v Dartford...great game, two sides who gave absolutely everything, and now Bromley looking good for promotion to the Conference proper next season
If you're looking for a pointer for kick off time/date, then Sheff Utd v Charlton last year (similar circumstances, albeit different broadcaster) had the Sunday lunchtime slot...I fully expect we will get similar.
