Sometimes, all it takes is one game to settle a debate. After a week of questions about his future - Does he work hard enough? Does he fit Paul Ince’s system? Should he be sold to Fenerbahce? – Lucas Joao responded with a brace on his birthday to help Reading to a 2-1 home win over Stoke City to ensure that the Royals end the weekend third in the Championship table.
On this week’s podcast, Olly Allen and Ross Webber dive into the game’s big talking points, including Joao’s two goals, Tom Ince’s remarkable work rate, the team’s bounce back ability and how the Select Car Leasing Stadium is slowly becoming a fortress. The latest goings on around the club are rounded up in Newsbites, before Olly and Ross look ahead to Reading’s tricky-looking trip to Watford.

Olly Allen, Ben Thomas and Adam Jones are joined by BerkshireLive’s Jonathan Low to look back on Reading’s business - from the good to the bad and then to the mad. We give the club’s activity an old-school A to F style grade and try to sum up the last few months in just one word.
The show was originally broadcast live on Twitter.
Reading grabbed first place in the Championship with a 1-0 win at Millwall spearheaded by debutant Naby Sarr.

With one week to go until transfer deadline, Olly Allen is joined by Berkshire Live’s Reading FC reporter Jonathan Low on the latest Transfer Show.
The big news is the confirmation of George Puscas’ season-long loan move to Italian side Genoa, who have an obligation to buy if they win promotion to Serie A. The striker’s exit means that we are likely to see at least one new arrival in the coming days, with Naby Sarr set to finally be confirmed as a Reading player.

Before Manchester United made the headlines a few hours later, Reading were the ones conceding four shambolic goals in the first half on Saturday afternoon as they were comfortably beaten 4-0 by Rotherham United.
Olly Allen and Ben Thomas lead the therapy session on episode 305 of The Tilehurst End Podcast and ponder how much we should be panicking over this early season result. It’s also impossible to avoid talking about Joe Lumley’s catalogue of errors, but Tom McIntyre and Tom Holmes aren’t let off the hook either.
Plus, your questions are answered in the mailbag, there’s a round up of all the latest goings on at Reading in newsbites and finally a look ahead to two home games in the next week against Blackburn Rovers and Middlesbrough.

Reading are off the mark for the 2022/23 Championship season and deservedly so too following a hard-working display against Cardiff on Saturday. That means there’s plenty of positivity as Olly Allen and Ross Webber recap the game - from Shane Long’s very special homecoming to Tom Ince’s belter of a winning goal.
Plus, your questions are answered as always in the mailbag, there’s three new signings for Reading Women in newsbites and we look ahead to the games against Stevenage and Rotherham over the next seven days.
This week’s episode also sees the return of pubchat, as Marc Mayo sits down with University of Reading professor Ed Hawkins, the man behind the ‘Show Your Stripes’ climate change campaign that is incorporated in the club’s kits this season.

For our third transfer show show of the summer, Olly Allen is joined by Tilehurst End writer Ben Thomas and Berkshire Live’s Reading FC reporter Jonathan Low.
With exactly four weeks to go until deadline day at the time of recording, we ask what business Reading still need to do, what the latest is with the left-back situation and what the hell is the hold up with Naby Sarr’s move?! It’s also hard to avoid the injury situation, plus there’s chat on transfer target Omari Hutchinson and the two players that the Royals will want to shift before September 1 - George Puscas and Liam Moore.
The show was originally broadcast live on YouTube. That’s the place where you can re-watch and catch all future episodes.
