The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 308: Birthday Brace
Sunday Sep 04, 2022
Sunday Sep 04, 2022
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.

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 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.

Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
Tuesday Aug 16, 2022
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.

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.
