Re: Reading 10 - 2 Crystal Palace

As a follow up that match was played on a Wednesday. Three days later they played Southend and scored seven goals. In the days of Tony McPhee and Ron Blackman it was just a question of just how many they would score. Now its a question of will they manage to get a goal this week.

Re: Reading 10 - 2 Crystal Palace

I was there on that day. If memory serves me still I think that the story at that time was that Vic Barney asked for a trial on that morning and they stuck him in the team and he scored two goals

Re: Jimmy Kebe

I wonder what the posters think about a regulation stating that all players should honour their contracts. I am a little concerned that it is becoming more and more prevalent for players to sign a contract and then shortly after decide that they can just walk away from their obligations. Just this y...

Re: Fringe players to the FA Cup

We need to play the strongest team possible if only to let any newcomers to our ranks get as much playing time together as they can.

Re: Possible New Player?

Could it possibly be Jordan Ayew who was mooted as a signing in the summer?

Re: Best financial strategy for strengthening the team?

It is all very well thinking that we can assess in January but we must remember that there will be about four other teams thinking the same and if we are far behind the pack we would likely be the last preferance to any suitable players

Re: When was your first Reading game?

Reading played a Dutch team during the end of war celebrations but I cannot remember the Dutch town's name. I was there but most of my memories have faded over the years.

Re: September

There seems to be a lot of differing opinion about the strength of the team but in about three weeks time we will know whose opinions are correct. By that time however the transfer window will be closed and it will be too late to do anything until the next window. If the pessimists are right then we...

Re: September

Well seeing that Peterborough gave Reading’s first team a fright last night I am afraid that points will be very hard to come by this season. Brian says that he is satisfied with his squad and that there are adequate replacements for injuries but I think that he is mistaken. Most of the decent playe...

Re: Rumour - Michael Owen

Doyler says that if one of our strikers gets 10-15 goals this season we should stay up comfortably. Well Yakubu scored 17 last year for Blackburn and they didn't.

Re: Area of weakness that remains....

I’m surprised that no one has mention the fact that in the three matches in Portugal which involved the senior players none of the forwards managed a goal. Seeing that Chelsea have stated that they would like Romelu Lukaku to go out on loan would it not be a good idea to at least make an attempt to ...

Jonny Fordham should tell Sky Sports that Reading are not interested in Kondogbia. They seem to be mistakenly thinking that they are!

Whoever A.W. is he has beaten Hob Nob contributors who suggest that they are in the know by a healthy...

Re: Mathieu Manset

I have only seen Mathieu Manset play on videos but I think that we should really go for him. He is young, strong and from his size he wouldn’t be knocked off of the ball very easily. He appeared to have more ball control technique than many of those in the first team and I think that in a couple of ...

Re: Press conference today-mid afternoon

All mention of a press conference to be held this afternoon appears to have been removed from the clubs news page. I am positive that I saw it there earlier in the day or was I seeing things?
