Lee Herron Interview Special
Monday Mar 27, 2017
Monday Mar 27, 2017
In a very special interview we talk to the man responsible for filling the shoes of the late, great Eamonn Dolan, Reading's new Academy Manager Lee Herron. Lee talks emotionally about working with Eamonn and what his legacy is for the football club, from where it was when he joined the club 17 years ago till now.
If you've ever been interested in how young players are found, developed and nurtured at one of the top Academies in the UK then this is the interview for you as Lee shares how social media plays a role in finding talent but the pitfalls for footballers in using it while still maturing as people. We also talk about how the Academy interacts with the first team and the role Jaap Stam is playing in developing the next generation of young players.
Thanks to Lee for giving up his time to speak to us and thanks to those of you who sent us in questions.

Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
One point from two games may have seemed pretty good at the start of last week, but no goals and a hammering at Preston has taken some of the shine from our play-off push. We'll look at whether Reading can hold off a surging Fulham team, starting with a big game at Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
Wimb, Westy and Rob Langham from The Two Unfortunates, cover the big talking points, from the form of Chris Gunter, to the stats behind Lewis Grabban's slump, whether the January signings have helped or hindered us, plus plenty more in a bumper mailbag.
