Two matches, four points and yet a lingering question of what's still holding back this Reading team after their 0-0 draw with Sheffield Wednesday and 3-0 beating on Barnsley this past week.
Marc and Westy chew over what's left to improve upon and what areas of the team are worth being pretty pleased about ahead of next weekend's trip to Sunderland.
That match is previewed in Any Other Business with a Pubchat on social media and the future of football broadcasting before your questions answered in the Mailbag.

You know what, Reading had their moments on Saturday. With a fresh homegrown striker up top and a bit of pizzazz about them, the Royals showed glimpses of taking a result off Middlesbrough amid a dire run under Jaap Stam.
However, as Steve 'Royal Hoops' Curtis puts it in TTE Podcast Episode 142, it was two steps forward and three steps back as the hosts eventually slumped to a 2-0 defeat.
Hoops is joined by Chris Hartley and regular host Marc Mayo in this episode to discuss what went wrong at the Mad Stad, how much time Jaap Stam has left to turn things around, and preview the Tuesday night clash with Nottingham Forest.

After the joy of Leeds came the reality of Sheffield and, no, we're not talking about some sort of Yorkshire pub crawl.
Instead Marc and Westy are left to reflect on a disappointing return to Reading's 2017/18 standard procedure as the team lost 2-1 at Brammal Lane with plenty of mailbag questions to answer in analysing the defeat.
Also on the agenda is a pubchat regarding the possibility of having statues installed at the Mad Stad with two games in quick succession also previewed in TTE Podcast No. 141.

Discussing how Jaap Stam pulled a new formation out the bag along for the 1-0 win, the guys mull over whether this truly is the new dawn after a tricky period for the Dutch manager and his side, or a shot in the dark that landed on the bullseye.
Also on the show are your questions in the mailbag, a brace for a genuine young prospect in an England shirt in newsbites, and a look ahead to Sheffield United away on the weekend.
