@rfc_max_ No chance mate, that would be two players going forward. Would definitely unbalance the team….

Sam nombe and Jack Marriott up front would be lethal #readingfc

@bluewhitewall More to the point no shots on target, nothing to get excited about, not as Spectacular as Rob promised.

Another game, another goal conceded. A good finish by their player but even in a boring nothing to play for match where no one is doing anything we still concede. Whoever is in charge next season, this must be addressed if we want to get playoffs or go up. #ReadingFC

@simply_langers That’s because it was all cock and bull, surely even Leam can’t be that stupid to say this and not even try to implement his own system.. this is how far gone the situation has got. There is only one outcome from all this at it should be, Thank You and Goodbye…

If, and it’s a big if, Richardson wants us to be a front foot, forward moving team, why hasn’t he thrown caution to the wind in the last two/three meaningless games? I think fans wouldn’t have minded if we’d lost by trying to go for games. #readingfc

@lee118613 @mitchrfc1 @ToddTrosclair @catania_rick15 Yet we still conceded 😳with no shots on target

@mitchrfc1 @ToddTrosclair @catania_rick15 Today’s line up is just a great example that he should go. Playing 5-4-1 type formation with two wing backs and two wingers. Who has ever seen that? The wing backs provide the width, so you don’t need wingers

What’s so concerning is the fact it’s so clear that nobody wants Richardson here. Yet all the owners are talking up Richardson for the summer and beyond. Are they that ignorant to not be able to read the room. @ToddTrosclair @catania_rick15

@Jamie_Hodder21 @RCouhig But wastes money on fireworks.. Not Spectacular is it… please give us the optimism for next season and get him gone.

JJ and Leam have to go. Neither are good enough. If you’re serious @RCouhig you’d get them both gone now. #ReadingFC

@CazParker1871 @_One8Seven1_ Agreed, no point in papering over the cracks. Definitely something has gone on, can’t tell me he is going to change and we will see the high intensity football he promised. Hope he doesn’t get any transfer windows.

@_One8Seven1_ You're not alone. They need to act. No way back from here - none.

Pretty damning but I suspect a large chunk of fans are probably secretly happy Blackpool have scored to force a decision. #ReadingFC

@lines_aviation @TheTilehurstEnd Could have given him a 10min run out to get his applause..

@TheTilehurstEnd Yiadom at the back looked like he was taking it all in for the last time. Shame to see him bow out like this given the number of years he's been here for, deserved one last time to play on the pitch.

Richardson booed during the lap Good reception for the players though, particularly Charlie Savage

@jamesmasson1986 @ReadingFC How will his high intensity football work with No shots on target…. Yep get him gone

@ReadingFC Zero shots on target get him out of this club

The 2025/26 season ends in defeat. 90' | 🔵0-1🍊

@B3rt1e @ReadingFC Didn’t say I was just having a laugh.. Been a supporter for over 40 years and a season ticket holder for over 38, be interested to see who he gets in player wise, then if the style changes. If not then the inevitable will have to happen…

@RoyalNw1 @ReadingFC Loyal fans support the club, not any one player, manager, owners or anyone else passing through! Supported the club for 40+ years, not going to stop cus’ of the manager and style of football…..

Leam is looking very relaxed coming into the last game of the season, and based on that interview, he has the full support of the owners and will definitely be here next season! 👇🏼 #readingfc @readingfc

@PompeyTom83 Obviously looking to attract the tourists, such a big club…..

Reading doing a the more you pay the more loyalty points you earn on their season tickets… AND You only get your points for the home games if you actually attend despite paying upfront Madness 🤯

@Readingfanman @ElmParkRoyals Just suppose the players still under contract don’t buy into Leams vision, then they get there agents to sound out a move. Has Rob got the money to get players in as good as or better? My guess the answer is no. So sacking Leam might be the cheaper option.

Openly will admit, I did not watch or go yesterday. Feeling very apathetic towards the end of season, and surely, an apathetic fanbase is worse than anger if you are trying to run a football club, because you lose engagement from your paying customers (horrid word!) #ReadingFC

@TheTilehurstEnd Or are people waiting for the home game against Blackpool, or voting with their feet…

Less extensive anti-Leam chanting today than at Doncaster but still strong Felt more like a lot of #ReadingFC fans were too fed up/mentally checked out to chant more against the manager

@GeorgeB22998154 Could make the Blackpool game interesting, 1, could be the lowest crowd of the season. 2, could turn very toxic if the style tactics and game is boring like the last few. Surely if he’s lost the players, no point in papering over the cracks. Have Saturdays game then get him gone.

Well, the whole fanbase has turned on Leam, there’s no way he can stay in the job now, either he has to do the respectful thing and leave, or the owners must get rid asap. #readingfc

@Stephan65595292 It’s not so Spectacular now….

Can’t fault the owners for communication but can fault them for not listening/understanding what the majority of supporters are thinking and feeling. Football is meant to be enjoyed and not endured. If he doesn’t get that then he’s in the wrong business.

@RFCLatest To think Leam got more backing than Noel, then we still throw away a playoff place, that we could easily of had. Not sure that’s great management. Wonder what will happen next season, with probably more backing. Is the future bright?

🚨 After this evenings results - #ReadingFC will officially be playing their fourth consecutive season in League One in 2026/27. How depressing.

@claresatterly Thanks to him we don’t now have a playoff place, may he should take his toxic energy and do one… Hiding behind kids to get his little round of applause in before the game… read the room we don’t want you here…

Don't bring toxic energy to Reading FC said the manager who has drained every last drop of belief from this fanbase. Incredible scenes. #ReadingFC 😅

@Andyvickery1871 @ronniemac93 Yes but not with Leam in charge

@ronniemac93 Just what I said in another group, watch there celebrations for a few minutes and say that is what we want next season 💪🏼🔥

Any good manager would of made the team stand and watch Cardiff celebrate. Really take it in and ask them if they want that. I remember standing watching Lincoln the other week and I’m just a fan. #readingfc

@chiekomoners That’s why he comes out before the game to get his little round of applause…..👏

Richardson straight down the tunnel absolute wanker. #ReadingFC

@ReadingFC Least they will know what to do when we have the 85-90min fire drill after another lack lust showing..

A huge thank you to today's match ball sponsor JP Fire & Security!
