Brogue 5 points from 21. Unacceptable.

It is starting to look that way. Next game is very important for Hunt's future.

Thoroughly entertaining evening out for £12. Wimbledon's second string were pretty good and created quite a few chances. And they absolutely should have had a penalty. Made for an even game. We scored two fantastic goals - a wonder strike and a beautiful, flowing team effort. A lot of effort and som...

4-4-2 is almost always 4-4-1-1 anyway. 4-2-3-1 is what we usually play, I think. It's a matter of interpretation anyway. Because 4-3-3 easily morphs into 4-3-2-1 or 4-2-3-1. No simple sequence of numbers can really sum up the tactical sophistication teams need to use today anyway. It changes in diff...

I find this suggestion that he doesn't know what he's doing tactically laughable. He's got a UEFA Pro license. Whilst it's no guarantee of success, it does mean that his tactical awareness will be better than 99% of us on here. Of course, we're fans, and we're entitled to our opinions and interpreta...

morganb Who was the last decent striker the Academy produced?

Wareham.

At one point in the first half our pass completion was under 50%. That is the first thing that needs to be addressed. Presumably the professional footballers haven't lost the ability to kick a football with a reasonable degree of accuracy; it's more that they're too far apart, or the intended recipi...

You lose the players that contributed to two thirds of your goals the previous season. You manage a club that has been hollowed out of resources for years until it's only just operating. You lose two of the best centre halves to play in League 1 for many seasons - one to a Premier League club, the o...

I hope I'm not one to over react, but that really was one of the worst Reading performances I've seen in 25 years. Rarely have I seen us so outclassed - maybe once at Old Trafford, once for 20 minutes at Pride Park in the FA Cup (when we went on to win). It was truly abysmal. Then we started to atta...

Well guys a quick view from the other side if you’ll allow me? I think all of us are surprised at your poor start and I really don’t think it’s reflective of your team or their capability as you seem to have played pretty well in games but missed chances and conceded bad goals which can happen over...

Today is, as I'm sure you're all aware, St. Bernard of Clairvaux's day. The patron saint of very strong Belgian beer and under-performing strikers.

The 'Ding to win by a margin of two goals, at least one of which will be the debut goal for MoM.

The really worrying thing is after 4 games, there is zero idea what our team identity is. That and Hunt's seeming inability to adjust to the actual game, as opposed to what he expects to happen. Criminal that no subs were made before 60 odd minutes, and his justifiaction for not using Elliot is lau...

We played like strangers. Wimbledon played like a team. They deserved to win. We're not just suffering because of not having a striker. We're also shipping two goals per game. It's all so disconnected - no fluency, because they don't seem to know what the others are doing. Don't know what happened t...

Hello all Having previously been a regular attendee for the best part of two decades, work and family took me away and I am returning for the first time in nearly ten years. Do the club still provide Rumblestix, or, with recent budget cuts, is it now necessary for us to supply our own? I don't want...

Really insightful interview. Explains most of the big issues. Should be mandatory viewing before anyone is allowed to post on social media. Present company excepted, many football fans have little to no idea about how football clubs (or any other business, for that matter) are run. They'll never be ...

I think maybe there is a difference of opinion in relation to the signs striker thing. There is buya striker who will rip the league apart for 5 million and where I am which is just a plan b which we do not have at the moment. Which I think is where most of us are, in vest 250-500k of the knibbs mo...

Doesn't help that there's a section of Sheff Utd fans desperate to hate him. They can go fück themselves, can't they? Although he's a quietly spoken young man, he must have quite a steely self belief to have got this far in football, so I suspect the views of a few morons won't affect him too much.

Decent individual performances - just not quite there yet as a team. Jacob and Abrefa were the pick of the bunch for me. First goal was obviously disappointing, second one was a good strike which, to be fair, and maybe got a bit lucky travelling through a crowded box. We will never get anywhere with...

Yes, because we're easily good enough to mimic the technical and tactical excellence of the Spanish national team and Man Citeh.

To be fair, the W-M formation was good enough for the Arse in the 1930s, so we could probably still win the league doing that too.

Have to remember as well that unlike the last few windows Reading are once again competing for players that generally other clubs actually want so things aren’t going to return the quick & smooth outcome of seeing a name linked and them joining a week later. Would be nice to be back under embar...
