Short trip down the M4 for a derby we hope we can avoid the embarrassment of last season.

Ref is Andrew Madley from West Yorks who took charge of the reverse fixture last season. Bit a of a card happy chappy though with 20 yellow and 2 red already this season.

Any streams?

Sorry to see the apparently undroppable HRK in the team once again ...

[Ascotexgunner]

Would have liked Hurtado and GM to start. Maybe the former isn't match ready.

Pitch looks dreadful - an injury waiting to happen

I cannot believe they are playing on a pitch where the turfs can easily be lifted up by the corner!!!!!!

Stop by a green grocer's en route and collect a spare grass mat just in case!

Whilst I don't agree with them (especially Dellor) all the time, it does seem very odd listening to someone else commentating, any news on where "the voice of Reading FC" and "the Reading legend" are?

It's horrible to hear someone who knows how far to hold the microphone away from his face, just horrible.

[Ian Royal]

What's that? Woodwork for the 5th time this season?

Sigh.

The frame of the goal is a much smaller target than the goal itself. Yet we've hit it more times than we've scored in the League.

Sa

[Ginger Ninjas]
