Back at it in Getafe! Interesting shape from Reading so far - kinda lining up in a 3421 that crunches down in to a 4231 also at times. This has to be the deepest I've seen Lane play for Reading Ben and I will be live streaming and doing a pod recording session for the second half of this game!

A bit of traveling ahead of me before I can get the live @thetilehurstend.bsky.social pod (episode 460) up on pod platforms but it's up now on YouTube alongside reactions from Ben and myself on the game yesterday Then this week you're getting a firehose of content with two more interviews... 👀
I fully moved to the opinion that Leam needs to go today unfortunately This has been the longest wait between in person Reading games for me in a long time and seeing them out on the field you can see just how little control Leam has over this side Basics are missed. Respect is gone
The Tilehurst End@thetilehurstend.bsky.social · 6mo agoRATINGS: Joel Pereira was the best of the bunch against Blackpool, according to @webberross.bsky.social, in another poor all-round showing from #ReadingFC.
Fun chat this week with lots to debate - this could have gone on for another hour honestly Trying to keep things level right now with pros and cons but it can be tricky when the attacking play isn't super exciting
The Tilehurst End@thetilehurstend.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis week's episode of the pod is live! - Analysis on two frustrating Easter games for #ReadingFC - Should we bring Kamari Doyle back next season? - A Steve Coppell-themed quiz for the pod's newly named Dingwang. 🎙️ @mrblthomas.bsky.social, @webberross.bsky.social

Ross Webber@webberross.bsky.social · 8mo agoI ran some napkin maths on Leam Richardson's first 16 games of 2026 Average xG for of 0.88 for Leam vs 1.16 (still not great) for Noel Hunt in the first 16 games of 2025 I criticized Noel a lot during and after that period so what does this say about Leam? Simple - He doesn't know what he's doing

Outside of the mixup that led to Burton's best chance, I really liked Wing tonight - properly took the fight to a physical Burton team and played a key role in both goals for #readingfc
The Tilehurst End@thetilehurstend.bsky.social · 8mo agoRATINGS: Big defensive showings were key in #ReadingFC's comeback win at Burton Albion, but @webberross.bsky.social also has praise for midfielders Lewis Wing and Kamari Doyle.
Remember guys, the most important thing to remember about @thetilehurstend.bsky.social pod is that covering this nonsensical team means you're always one week away from saying something really dumb 🤣 youtube.com/shorts/iWUbw...

Have you noticed that #readingfc seem to be playing far more of the ball in their own half than the opposition's, even when they have the majority of possession? Trying to piece together what it is that Leam wants, and I'm wondering if Liverpool 24/25 is the blueprint youtube.com/shorts/gf98O...

Discussed the Port Vale equalizer on the pod this week, but it's always easier with a visual! Burns gets caught on the wrong side of his defender who is able to assist the goal in a pocket of space. One individual battle goes wrong and... Watch the pod on YT now - youtu.be/c9PveXPE2_8?...
