The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 359: Innovative Ways to Lose
Friday Nov 17, 2023
Friday Nov 17, 2023
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.
As the weather turns cold there's also time for discussion of the most frigid Reading games the listenership remembers, and which player from the final 3 Championship seasons Reading could most do with right now.
A big thank you, as always, to our friends and sponsors ZCZ films for their ongoing support.
