Following Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Bolton and the madness of Thursday’s transfer deadline, Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker return on our Weekend Preview podcast to look ahead to Reading vs Aston Villa. On the agenda is how this game has goals written all over it (it’ll end up being 0-0 now!), the latest team news and how the Royals may line up after plenty of squad arrivals and departures in recent weeks. As ever, we also get the opposition view ahead of the fixture, as Villa fan James Rushton from 7500 to Holte pops on for a chat.

It turned out to be an interesting deadline day for Reading FC and The Tilehurst End convened late on Thursday night to discuss all the key goings on. Wimb, Marc and Becki sat down to discuss the Royals’ transfer activity as the clock struck 11pm.
A quick apology for the varied volume/video quality in the clip, a lot of technical jiggery-pokery had to be done manually and, as John Swift said when scoring against Nottingham Forest, it’s been a while. For the pod version, we chose to cut the first five minutes where the audio was poorest.

Reading travelled back from the East Midlands with empty hands on Saturday following their 2-1 defeat to Derby County, and The Tilehurst End podcast is back to discuss exactly what went wrong at Pride Park, and whether we should be so bothered anyway.
With the Rams flying high and Jose Gomes still getting his feet under the table, Marc Mayo hosts Episode 182 of the show to debate Andy Rinomhota’s switch to right-back, the striker situation, and the coach’s general approach to such games, alongside TTE regulars Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup and Olly Allen.
Also on the agenda is a pubchat selection of Reading’s greatest ever loanee XI, your questions in the mailbag, and a look ahead to the trio of games that await the side after the upcoming weekend break.

Jose Gomes may have endured a couple of very wobbly moments since coming to Reading FC but Saturday’s 2-0 win at home to a disjointed Nottingham Forest served as a taster for what we hope is to come.
After the game, the Portuguese boss spoke about galvanising not just the team but the club and The Tilehurst End podcast reconvenes for Episode 181 to discuss all things from on-pitch scraps to exactly how cosy the fans can get with Senhor Gomes at this point in his tenure.
Speaking of experienced pros who fit like a warm jumper, TTE founder Dan Wimbush drops into the guest’s chair to join Marc Mayo for this week’s show, with your questions in the Mailbag, a preview of the trip to Derby, and Newsbites covering the transfer window and the Royals’ other teams on the agenda.

It was a strange afternoon at Old Trafford as Reading FC left the FA Cup thanks to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United, off the back of a rather confident performance.
The Tilehurst End podcast, fresh from a mention during the in-game commentary, returns with Marc and Westy picking up the pieces and working out how Jose Gomes will aim to translate that outing into points, starting against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
The January transfer window is also discussed at length in Pubchat, alongside your questions in the mailbag, as the first incoming touches down in West Berkshire amidst a swathe of exits.

When you’re on a 10-game winless run, Old Trafford is hardly the place you want to be travelling to, but Reading have to do just that in the FA Cup third round this weekend. Olly Allen and the Wokingham Paper’s Tom Crocker look ahead to the clash, including how Jose Gomes will approach the game - only his fourth fixture in charge of the Royals. The latest team news is also discussed, with Reading’s bloated squad a key talking point from the last few days.
In addition, get the Manchester United view on things as we hear from Red Devils fan Colin Damms from our SB Nation sister site The Busby Babe.

It took Reading FC just about one hundred seconds to concede their first goal of 2019 and boy did it set the tone for what was to come, as Swansea City strolled away with a 4-1 win in Jose Gomes’ first Madejski Stadium match in charge.
Following a tight 1-0 loss at Millwall and a seemingly decent point at QPR, the Royals returned home to suffer an indignant hammer blow that leaves them five points from safety in the Championship relegation places.
Marc Mayo is joined by Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup for Episode 179 of The Tilehurst End podcast and the guys recap the Christmas period of action, check in on the other Reading teams in newsbites, answer your mailbag questions, and look ahead to a daunting FA Cup trip to Manchester United.

Player of the year... Golden Moment... Underachiever... Some awards were easier to hand out than others this year and The Tilehurst End podcast draws 2018 to a close with our usual Christmas festivities down the Hope Tap in Reading.
Pubchat in a pub saw Marc Mayo, Olly Allen, Simeon ‘BucksRoyal’ Pickup, Matt ‘PannasAndNutmegs’ Lawrence, and Jack Simpson hand out the end of year awards with eight prestigious (to varying degrees) honours up for grabs.
The crew also take a look through the past couple of weeks of match action as the Scott Marshall caretaker period appears set to end with Jose Gomes reportedly ready to step into the Mad Stad hotseat any time now.
As ever, a huge thank you to all who have listened to the podcast this year. We only put in the hours because of those willing to hear what we have to say. And, of course, our Patreon patrons deserve a massive thank you for providing us with some funds to, for example, invest in equipment to bring a higher quality sound for you all.
