Reading 1 West Brom 1

West Brom returned to the Madejski on Saturday and with both teams in great form and also considering the result of the recent FA Cup clash between the two you would have expected it to be a great game – and you’d have been right. It was non-stop action with both teams pushing hard to [ READ MORE ]

Posting resumes…

Sorry about the recent silence on here. I was so gutted after the Villa game I couldn’t bring myself to do the write-up. We all know what happened there! Then after that we had the Derby game which I have to say must have been the dullest 4-1 win I’ve ever been too even though [ READ MORE ]

Reading 5 Sheffield Wednesday 0

Having knocked West Bromwich Albion out of the FA Cup in extra time in midweek I was a little bit worried about this fixture. This match was so important to both sides and I couldn’t help but wonder if the Cup game would leave its mark on this game and see the Royals being overcome [ READ MORE ]

West Brom 2 Reading 3 AET

Wow. It’s been 83 years since Reading made it to the Quarter Finals of the FA Cup and what a way to do it. Having drawn the first game 2-2 I have to say I did wonder if West Brom might be too strong for us at home, and having seen us put in a [ READ MORE ]

Blackpool 2 Reading 0

Having not got round to posting my match reports for two great games against West Brom and Crystal Palace until tonight I now find myself (rather ironically) posting in good time about a match in which not a lot really happened. Basically, all you really need to know is that we lost 2-0 and it [ READ MORE ]

Crystal Palace 1 Reading 3

Having watched the Cup tie between Crystal Palace and Aston Villa the day after we had drawn with West Brom I had been a bit worried about this game. Palace looked a decent side. Fortunately, our run continued and left Colin Wa… I mean Neil Warnock fuming at ‘schoolboy defending’. Having wondered if Simon Church’s [ READ MORE ]

Doncaster Rovers 1 Reading 2

Before the Sheffield United game I said that I was hoping for at least six points from the next four games. Congratulations Brian McDermott – objective complete. A 2-1 victory over Doncaster means that Reading have finally managed back to back wins this season and, importantly, we remain within touching distance of the pack. Having [ READ MORE ]

Reading 1 Barnsley 0

Reading beat Barnsley today courtesy of a goal from Shane Long, who started the game up front with Wales striker Simon Church. Young striker Nicholas Bignall also made his league debut coming on as a substitute. To be perfectly honest, this was not a great game to watch, but it was a great three points [ READ MORE ]

Blades put Royals to the sword.

Sheffield United beat Reading 3-0 tonight at Bramall Lane. Former Royal James Harper started for the home side, whilst former Blade Brian Howard came on as a sub to face his former employers. Unfortunately Reading once again created some decent openings but failed to convert. Brian McDermott promoted Shane Long and Gunnar Thorvaldsson from bench-warming [ READ MORE ]

Through to the 5th Round.

So, having seen us eject Liverpool from the competition, Burnley manager Brian Laws put out his best team. They failed. Reading move on to another home tie – this time against high-flying West Brom. Surprisingly Burnley didn’t threaten us much until the second half, and it looked like a game that would probably end up [ READ MORE ]
