Thursday Aug 25, 2022
Thursday Aug 25, 2022
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.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 305: Calamity Joe
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.
