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.
The Tilehurst End Podcast reconvenes after an eventful international break to discuss how the Welshman switched things up to earn the points in an honestly pretty drab affair with the play-off contending North End.
Jonny Williams joins Marc Mayo on this week’s show, which is split up by some new interludes recorded by legendary Madejski Stadium announcer Paul Allen, with your questions answered in the Mailbag, the nature of Bowen’s arrival discussed in Newsbites, and two tricky trips considered in Big Match Preview.

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.
