Episode 124: Leeds, Blackburn, That Stamp & More
Wednesday Apr 05, 2017
Wednesday Apr 05, 2017
Well that was a pretty good week wasn't it for Reading? Our TTE Podcast co-hosts reunite to break down the 1-0 win over Leeds and 3-1 victory of Blackburn last night that's seen us move up to third in the Championship and nine points clear of the chasing pack.
We'll hit all of the key discussion points, from Yann's prolific week in front of goal, to wayward finishing, good Moore v evil Moore and much more.
We've also got your questions to tackle in the mailbag, plus Saturday's trip to Norwich to look forward to in our 124th edition of the show.
As always we continue to be humbled by your generosity in continuing to support the show financially. Just this week your money has paid for two lovely new sets of headphones to replace some that had seen us through 60 odd shows, and paid for a couple of licenses to help produce the video content you're hopefully enoying on our YouTube channel.

Leeds: TTE YouTube Post-Game Audio
Sunday Apr 02, 2017
Sunday Apr 02, 2017
We thought we'd try something new here at TTE, so here you can listen to the audio from our YouTube/Facebook video covering the Leeds game. This week sees Wimb & Handbags Harris give their verdicts on the game in detail, including thoughts on Yann's goal, Cooper's stamp, Monk's comments and more.
Given that this is a straight audio rip from what's designed to be a video show, there are a few visual references that won't make a lot of sense on a podcast but the vast majority works either way.
So please let us know whether you enjoy us posting the audio or if you'd rather we kept this to the video channels.

Lee Herron Interview Special
Monday Mar 27, 2017
Monday Mar 27, 2017
In a very special interview we talk to the man responsible for filling the shoes of the late, great Eamonn Dolan, Reading's new Academy Manager Lee Herron. Lee talks emotionally about working with Eamonn and what his legacy is for the football club, from where it was when he joined the club 17 years ago till now.
If you've ever been interested in how young players are found, developed and nurtured at one of the top Academies in the UK then this is the interview for you as Lee shares how social media plays a role in finding talent but the pitfalls for footballers in using it while still maturing as people. We also talk about how the Academy interacts with the first team and the role Jaap Stam is playing in developing the next generation of young players.
Thanks to Lee for giving up his time to speak to us and thanks to those of you who sent us in questions.

Episode 122: Keep Calm & Win Points
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
Tuesday Mar 14, 2017
One point from two games may have seemed pretty good at the start of last week, but no goals and a hammering at Preston has taken some of the shine from our play-off push. We'll look at whether Reading can hold off a surging Fulham team, starting with a big game at Sheffield Wednesday on Friday.
Wimb, Westy and Rob Langham from The Two Unfortunates, cover the big talking points, from the form of Chris Gunter, to the stats behind Lewis Grabban's slump, whether the January signings have helped or hindered us, plus plenty more in a bumper mailbag.

It was a case of close but no cigar for Reading up at Huddersfield as our top two ambitions took a big blow but results elsewhere softened the landing.

Episode 118: Making Moments Matter
Wednesday Feb 15, 2017
Wednesday Feb 15, 2017
Valentine's Day is often associated with things going up and down.... delivery trucks full of flowers obviously.. Yet Reading themselves put on quite the performance against Brentford after a drab draw with Barnsley four days previously. We take the good, bad and the random from those two fixtures to try and figure out if we should still be looking up or down.
The mailbag throws up questions about home attendance, the role of George Evans and more, plus we've got a huge game with Huddersfield to look ahead to.
