Podcast Extra: Pre-Deadline Day Transfer Special

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.

There's also a look at who might be leaving the Select Car Leasing Stadium, after Andy Carroll's departure was confirmed earlier today.

All that plus an update on the club's financial status and much more.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 349: Mixed Bag

A mixed bag of results for the Royals teams as the first team lost but the U21’s won. 

 

Ben and Ross discuss both games whilst looking ahead to the futures of individual players. Azeez, Wareham and Ehibhatiomhan all feature heavily.

 

A potentially big week is on the cards with two games and the transfer window slamming shut on the 31st August. Could we see some ins and out in RG2 perhaps?

 

As always, a huge thank you to our friends and sponsors ZCZ films for their unwavering support.

We talk about the perception of the club through its recent struggles and what Simeon makes of FFP now and going forward.

We also discuss his own role at Sky, including how one live blog covering a Reading game landed him in hot water, plus what it's like pulling together those David Putton predictions that Reading fans are so 'fond' of.

The Tilehurst End Podcast Episode 346: Up But Not Quite Running...

Could a fairly positive week be topped off by a win against the Posh? No, it couldn't. There were green shoots in the performance however, with Ross and Ben finding comfort in the future. 

 

Goalkeepers, rambunctious midfielders and jet lag all feature in the latest episode, where they also preview the next two games on the road. 

 

As always, a huge thanks to our friends and sponsors ZCZ films for their unwavering slaps on the back!
