Mark Bowen tasted defeat for the first time as Reading FC manager on Saturday but may not be too distraught by coming out 1-0 losers in a scrappy affair.

The Tilehurst End Podcast: Jordan Obita Interview
Friday Nov 15, 2019
Friday Nov 15, 2019
Jordan Obita has seen a lot in over a decade on the Reading FC books - and he's experienced most of it first-hand. A youth prodigy, a player of the season winner, a play-off goalscorer (and penalty shootout misser), a long-term injury absentee and a long-range supremo.
The Tilehurst End Podcast headed down to Hogwood recently to discuss all of the above and more with the left-back. In fact, the interview took place before he netted a maiden Madejski Stadium goal - so some foresight may be required for that part of the chat!

Mark Bowen kept up his unbeaten start as Reading FC manager with a 2-1 win over Millwall on Saturday, the three points accompanied by two world class efforts from Jordan Obita and Sam Baldock.
For academy product Obita, it marked his return from a horrific knee injury that almost ended his career while Baldock is enjoying his own comeback story having been dropped by Jose Gomes. Marc Mayo and Westy reconvene for Episode 208 of The Tilehurst End Podcast to recap the win, answer your Mailbag questions, discuss the Player of the Month in Newsbites, and look to the meeting with Luton in Big Game Preview.

Reading FC missed the chance to extend their good start under Mark Bowen on Saturday due to a waterlogged postponement at Nottingham Forest - but there is still plenty to discuss on The Tilehurst End Podcast.
A 2-2 draw at QPR saw the Royals fight back from behind twice and we review the clash with Marc Mayo and Dan ‘Wimb’ Wimbush. We also discuss the Championship as a whole in Newsbites, read out your thoughts in Mailbag, and look to the Millwall match in Big Game Preview.

Mark Bowen began life as Reading FC manager with the latest of late wins against Preston on Saturday, Matt Miazga firing home the vital 97th minute winner.

Wednesday Oct 09, 2019
Jose Gomes has left the building after a poor start to the season that failed to build on some promising outings and currently has Reading in the bottom three.
The Tilehurst End Podcast convenes for an impromptu recording - hence the occasional traffic noises - as Marc Mayo and Olly Allen discuss what went right, what went wrong and what comes next for the Royals. At the time of our chat, Mark Hughes was set to replace Gomes and we also consider how he could fit in at the Mad Stad.

Lucas Boye and Andy Yiadom provided two revitalising goals that ended Reading FC’s dodgy September on a high note. The Tilehurst End Podcast is back to review a duo of 1-1 draws that boosted morale, even if the club still exited the League Cup and remained near the bottom of the Championship.
