The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 355: Formation Furore

Reading added poor performance on the pitch to their growing list of woes in the last week, but at least it meant this podcast was mostly focused on football!

Listeners have lots of questions about Selles' formation, and Ben and Ross dive into debate about 3-5-2 vs 4-2-3-1... or really anything vs 4-2-2-2

A big thank you, as always, to our friends and sponsors ZCZ films for their ongoing support.

The Tilehurst End Episode 354: Staking a Claim

Reading made 5 changes at the weekend, but still couldn't get past an inspired performance from Crocombe in the Burton net. Ben and Ross talk about which of those should stay, and which should go for the upcoming busy week against Northampton and Leyton Orient.

A big thank you, as always, to our friends and sponsors ZCZ films for their ongoing support.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 353: Now What?

After a stretch in which Reading won 9-0 and yet still suffered a demoralizing setback, Ben and Ross try to make sense of it all. 

There's discussion of the ownership discussion, including which fictional character would do the best job running Reading Football Club, as well as a discussion of what's working and what's not with Ruben Selles' team so far in 23/24.

It's Deadline Day eve and the Pod Extra returns as Wimb is joined by the Reading Chronicle's James Earnshaw and Reading Today's Andy Preston to look at the latest rumoured incomings and departures from Reading FC before Friday's 11pm deadline.

We look at whether speculation linking Andy Rinomhota with a return has any validity, discuss a potential Southampton striker making a loan switch, plus the positions that Ruben Selles is most keen to strengthen.
