If you haven’t guessed or don’t know, the title of this post is Reading’s form since I last posted. Five games, seven points from a possible 15. Not exactly scintillating stuff, and the obvious reason why Reading are three points out of the automatic promotion places and only a point ahead of Burnley.
I [...]
Could You Be Anything Other Than Pleased?

Two weeks pass, and it’s 4-0 over Swansea, 3-0 over Wolves (away no less), and now a 3-1 win over Burnley.
After this run of form, Reading are far and away the most rampant team offensively in the Championship, and I cannot overstate how much of a statement that going to Molineux and pulling off the [...]

….anything interesting happen this weekend?
So no, that wasn’t actually a goal. It actually wasn’t even close. And it’s another reminder that video replay is needed and will not cause games to take as long as the Self-Transcendence 3100.
While part of me did wish the Reading players had stood up and said “Erm, no, [...]
It May Not Be Conistency…

…but it’s certainly entertaining.
One week into the future, and Reading still aren’t looking quite like a side destined for a return to the Premiership. Yet, they certainly aren’t looking like a team that’s going to sit by in mid-table and consider themselves satisfied with a finish of 13th.
Let’s be frank, the game [...]

A very entertaining game. Would’ve been more entertaining, of course, if we’d gotten three points. For now, highlights after the jump, grumbling about the defense later.
He’s From Metz? And He Hasn’t Scored Yet? (Wigan 0-0 Reading)
By: Prederick | 3 Comments
This is Rudy Gestede. He plays for FC Metz in Ligue 1, and is the latest player to be linked with a possible move to Reading in the summer, £3m is the price. He’s appeared 13 times for Metz so far, hasn’t scored, and no matter how many back issues of [...]
All Good Things… (Newcastle 3-0 Reading)
By: Prederick | No Comments
In all honesty, this was probably coming. Great as Reading’s form had been up until today, it had largely consisted of home fixtures (three out of five in March were at the Madjeski). And while Newcastle are a side that have redefined “dysfuctional” over the past few years, I remember when they were [...]

I, personally, am generally against 0-0 draws. While I understand that one can watch a thrilling 0-0 draw (England’s 0-0 draw with Italy comes to mind), I find that such games are generally the exception, not the rule. For every match like the Netherlands and Italy battling it out 0-0 at Euro 2000, [...]
Category: Game RecapsI Wholly Approve Of This Turn Of Events (Reading 2-1 Birmingham)
By: Prederick | No Comments
Sorry for the delay between posts people, sometimes work comes at you all at once. This weekend was actually rather interesting on both the top and the bottom of the table, for change of pace as usually matchups between the top four are experiments in ennui tolerance.
After last week’s spirited show against [...]
Category: Game RecapsReading 2-0 Manchester City
By: Prederick | No Comments
Well, who the hell needs a 1-1 draw?
Hats off to Shane Long and Dave Kitson, who finally showed the kind of lethality infront of net we have to have to stay up. Reading only barely outshot City, lost the time of possession battle by a significant margin, and still came away with [...]
