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.

Ho Hum, another week in RG2, another loss on the road. Ross and Ben ponder whether Reading's contrasting form in the League and EFL Trophy is some sort of sick joke, and regretfully cast their eyes back on the late collapse in Shropshire.
