It’s another six pointer for Reading this Saturday as they travel to Ipswich, and Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker return in our Weekend Preview podcast to discuss the Royals’ poor record against their relegation rivals, how they can become more clinical and the threat that Ipswich may pose as they cling on to Championship status for dear life. Tractor Boys fan Benjamin Bloom from the Blue Monday Podcast also provides insight into the latter, as he gives his take ahead of the game in the View From The Town End.

Reading FC went into the crucial home clash with Rotherham knowing that a win or defeat could be definitive for their fight against relegation. As it turns out, we got a draw.
Of course, it had to be a draw involving a late equaliser that represented a huge missed opportunity for the Royals to create a gap between themselves and the bottom three. And thus, this week, The Tilehurst End podcast treads a, shall we say, familiar path.
Marc Mayo hosts with Matt ‘Pannas And Nutmegs’ Lawrence with a review of the game opening the show before a Pubchat discussion on Reading’s relegation rivals, your Mailbag questions answered, and a preview of next weekend’s 1-1 draw against Ipswich Town.

Oh, the optimism of Wednesday night. Of overcoming a staunch opponent with a quality late goal that sent the fans home happy. Perhaps Sheffield United were always the worst team to face immediately after beating Blackburn at the Mad Stad, but just 45 seconds into Saturday’s trip north, Reading fans were given their first reason to worry.
The resulting 4-0 defeat is the subject of The Tilehurst End podcast Episode 185, Marc Mayo joined by Dave ‘Handbags’ Harris to work out what Jose Gomes and his players got wrong at Brammal Lane, and what they can do to get three vital points over Rotherham on the weekend. In addition, the guys discuss Sone Aluko’s potential exit in Newsbites and answer your Mailbag questions.

Defensive prowess isn’t something we have associated with Reading FC on this podcast in recent years but two clean sheets in stalemates with Sheffield Wednesday and Aston Villa have been a welcome sign in this current relegation battle.

Much of this week has been dominated by ‘Stampgate’, but Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker try to bring the focus back to footballing matters as Reading prepare to face Sheffield Wednesday in Steve Bruce’s first home game in charge at Hillsborough. Can the Royals deny the Owls a potential new manager bounce? Will Nelson Oliveira be fit to play? Both of these questions answered and more as the fixture is previewed in depth, whilst the opposition view is provided by Wednesday fan Elliott Jackson.

An otherwise quiet stalemate with Aston Villa was turned into an especially newsworthy event by a single incident on Saturday afternoon, as Tyrone Mings’ stamp/clumsy fall on Nelson Oliveira sparked a huge debate which The Tilehurst End looks into in this week’s episode of the foremost Reading FC podcast.
Marc Mayo hosts and is joined by Alan ‘Westy’ West to discuss the match, what the Royals did right and wrong, and of course the refereeing performance. Also on the agenda are summing up the transfer window in Newsbites, your questions for the Mailbag, and a quick preview of next weekend’s trip to Sheffield Wednesday.

As ever, we also get the opposition view ahead of the fixture, as Villa fan James Rushton from 7500 to Holte pops on for a chat.

It turned out to be an interesting deadline day for Reading FC and The Tilehurst End convened late on Thursday night to discuss all the key goings on. Wimb, Marc and Becki sat down to discuss the Royals’ transfer activity as the clock struck 11pm.
A quick apology for the varied volume/video quality in the clip, a lot of technical jiggery-pokery had to be done manually and, as John Swift said when scoring against Nottingham Forest, it’s been a while. For the pod version, we chose to cut the first five minutes where the audio was poorest.
