The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 360: Spinal Column
Friday Dec 01, 2023
Friday Dec 01, 2023
Does Selles know Reading's best XI and is there a spine to this team building? After a week in which Reading take 6 points from 6 with their first away win in over a year and a 5 nil smashing of Carlisle, it almost seems like a positive answer to those questions is getting closer.
But then of course... there's the ownership situation.
