Dion did something making a hard sliding tackle. Take your pick what he's done, he was down for a bit. They tried the magic sponge and kissing it better to no avail.

Got the feeling that once Portsmouth finally get defeated they'll start really hitting poor form and drop off.
If we're in a decent place when that happens we could take advantage.
Evatt has always said his teams get stronger toward the end of the season so if this year we're in the top 3 at the end of January to Mid February then there's a decent title bid to be had.

We are only one point behind Portsmouth we will be playing them shortly. If matters on the pitch go our way, we could have overtaken them before we play them. Beat them at their ground and we should be fine going into January.
I'm, not sure whether the club will invest in players in January. but money has been placed into the club, possibly by the Swiss contingent so I think that there is a distinct possibility that we will be buying or at least signing one or two players in January.

I see Anderson is involved with a group who are trying to buy Reading. That Cretin should not be allowed anywhere near another football club. He is poison.
If the EFL lets him anywhere near buying Reading, they will have a lot to answer for.

How the 'eck can he be allowed anywhere near a football club.
Mind you, the EFL has form as long as your arm.

True Pasty. The EFL as it is, is not fit for purpose

How did Tom the cook get on? My telly is allergic to those programs, and I don't see anything on the news and in the gossip columns.
