Sam Sodje

[RG30]

Joins West Brom on-loan, available to play this Sunday against Birmingham.

[Row Z Royal]

Is this a sweetener for them not going up and us part exchanging Curtis Davis in the summer?

good move, good timing for the fellah


Back next season for us, having played for/or against a Premmier team elect.

I'm not so sure about Sodje, I personally do not think that he is strong enough when making a challenge. Postionally not great either.

IMHO

[doylefan]

good move from him, esp due to lack of games this season in our first team, although has played well in reserves

Trust in Steve ( Sam has been our reserve team captain of late.....there are expectations of him)

Agree - should get his chance soon.

Agreed. This move will do him good though!

[URZZ]

I.M.O Sodje is in the same league as Long, either of them cannot compete in the Premiership but I wouldn't say die to either of them.

This move will be brilliant for him and as I've said for a long time now, a loan move for Long would be brilliant too. They need a few games under their belts and they need more experience.

Good luck Sam.

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

I would be shocked if he was still here next season, we're obviously going to sign Bikey, So Sonks, Ivar, Bikey, Doobs are all natural center halfs ahead of of Sodje. The fact they play Bryn out of position rather than Sodje says a lot. Add to that Alex Pearce and maybe a big money buy in the summer and there is no way Sodje will be a Reading player next season....

As for being reserve team captain, so was Bas!!

Isn't Sodje 6/7 years older than Long?

Agreed. Sodje has played his last game for Reading.

Yes?

Both of them still need experience, experience isn't just in age - also in standard.

They both need to play regularly and if Long got loaned to a Championship team it would do him good also.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Sams previous experience has been two leagues below us (at Brentford)


Not many (in our current squad) have had bridge such a big gap (Bankrupt team to Prem team)



This is his chance to find the middle ground.......and kick on from it

[Cookie]

No surprise, Reading could probably field a whole team made up of centre-backs.

[Irvinchangeyaname]

Looking good in the early stages against Brum.

That's assuming that he is destined to always stay a centre back. He's not built like one, and generally relies on pace rather than height or bulk. I did hear talk that he was a potential Murty-replacement, so don't be so sure......

[Drew_3]

halford is seen as the long term replacement for murty, sodje apparently turned down a move to west brom in january in part ex for one of their defenders(curtis davies?) its only terrace talk but thats what i heard!

[Victor Meldrew]

I think it was Luton that he turned down-only "seating " talk in the East Stand.

[Coppelloadofthat]

Looks like Sam played well today - their fans already want him to sign up full time!
