Some games turn on a knife edge and Reading FC were on the wrong end of some big players converting, or failing to convert, their big chances in Saturday’s defeat to Hull City.
After going a goal up, the Royals hit the bar and even had great openings for Mo Barrow and Nelson Oliveira go begging before the hosts sealed a 3-1 win. To round off the action, Marc Mayo is joined by Matt ‘Pannas and Nutmegs’ Lawrence for The Tilehurst End Episode 191.
With the Player of the Season award drawing into view, the guys preview the contenders for that honour in Pubchat, answer your questions in the Mailbag and ponder exactly how many Reading will concede in the midweek trip to Norwich for Any Other Business.

Reading FC lifted themselves four points clear of the relegation zone with a huge 2-1 win over in-form Preston North End on Saturday with Yakou Meite and Mo Barrow turning into quite the double act at the heart of the Royals’ attack.

Marc Mayo is joined by Dan ‘Wimb’ Wimbush to analyse the game, review the goings on around the club in Newsbites, answer your Mailbag questions, and look ahead to a trip to Nigel Adkins’ Hull.

You can’t say we don’t treat you here on The Tilehurst End, as after bringing you an exclusive chat with Jose Gomes last week, our interview with former Reading striker Yann Kermorgant is now available to download and listen to as well.
In his first English interview since leaving the Royals, Kermorgant discusses his two and a half year spell at the Madejski Stadium - including why he moved to Berkshire in January 2016, what it was like playing under Jaap Stam, how it went so wrong in 2017/18 and why he didn’t get along with Paul Clement. We also find out what he’s up to back home in France having left professional football behind.

Jose Gomes may have only become Reading FC manager in December but he’s already made a big impact on the club and its fans, speaking of galvanising the Royals and showing passion at the right moments.
His football upbringing is as wide and varied as any modern football coach, and The Tilehurst End enjoyed almost an hour in the Portuguese tactician’s company to discuss his childhood years watching Porto, a spell in the army, entering full-time coaching, travelling the world in the dugout, and much more.
Listen in for thoroughly engaging anecdotes on his first steps in Portugal - where he once barbecued an old contract as he left a club, to Hungary - where he couldn’t speak to his club’s owner due to the language barrier, to Saudi Arabia - where he was sacked for picking his own team, and to Reading.
Gomes also gives his insight on his tactical outlook, how to stop conceding goals in the last few minutes, and the Royals' academy.

Reading will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday night’s 3-0 defeat to Leeds when they travel to Stoke City on Saturday - the Potters being the lowest ranked side that we have left to play. With that in mind, in our Weekend Preview podcast, Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker discuss the Royals’ chances at the bet365 Stadium, the role that academy players could play and how to solve the seemingly never-ending midfield issue. As always, we also get the opposition view, and this week we’re joined by Stoke fan David Cowlishaw from the Wizards of Drivel podcast.

Reading FC were on course for a thoroughly damaging defeat at home to Wigan on Saturday when Mo Barrow and Yakou Meite stepped up to deliver three crucial points in the relegation battle.
Rising up two places, the Royals faced questions over their performance amid the jubilation. Marc Mayo and Olly Allen are here to work through the spoils for episode 188 of The Tilehurst End podcast in a slightly brief show due to various time constraints on recording. We still have time for your questions in Mailbag and a preview of Tuesday’s game against Leeds.
