After half the season, 23 games, they were joint 7th! Strange league, Luton and Coventry were 14th and 15th, Huddersfield bottom and Birmingham also joint 7th. Other than top 2 anyone could beat anyone.
July 3, 20233 yr Reading currently only 7 senior players on the books and just given pro contracts to 9 youngsters. Another points deduction on the way potentially as well. Walcott's been training with them, but won't be cheap or worth it.

July 26, 20233 yr Reading have had their transfer embargo reinstated today for not paying HMRC again this month, a few weeks after they settled the previous winding up order with HMRC. In the shit with 10 days to the start of the season.

In the shit with 10 days to the start of the season. Embargo reinstated days after they've just signed a few players, including Lewis Whing who I'd have been happy to see here. They're taking the piss. Minus 10 points please!

July 27, 20233 yr Peterboro Portsmouth Derby Blackpool and us and as an outsider for the final pay off spot Oxford . Not confident in our strikers getting us enough goals.

July 27, 20233 yr On the verge of signing that geezer from Exeter, banged 15 in 38 last season. Made some decent signings to be fair, not sure how many I would take though. I still back us to improve between now and 1st September and we're already pretty good for the division
July 27, 20233 yr BN article about the possibility of players leaving (Decberto in the frame for many) had me thinking that it would only happen if we made signings. Are all squad positions occupied now or is there any wriggle room?

Surely a telling sign was John and sadlier not making the bench on Tuesday, frees up 2 and then we all have in our heads what we need , a holding midfielder and a.n other, I think we would need to get rid of a striker before signing one.

Yeah 23 but 22 if Johnston out for the season if we don’t register him as a squad player.
July 27, 20233 yr presumably, if he made a lazarus like recovery, he could be regsitered in jan so, no way hes getting in the first squad
