Had an each way go on Jack Marriott league one top scorer at 66/1 (4 places) now he's returned from injury and back scoring. 5 behind the leader (4 behind 2nd to 4th) so will need to keep up his excellent conversion rate with #ReadingFC but definitely won't be moving in January

A biglier look at Reading's 2024/25 accounts, when the Club finished 7th in League One. 🔑figures ⚽️Revenue £9.8m ⬇️2% ⚽️Wages £12.4m ⬇️22% ⚽️Wages 127% of revenue (2024 158%) ⚽️Average first team weekly wage £5,900 ⚽️Underlying loss £13.3m ⬇️22% ⚽️Player sale profits £9.5m ⚽️Pre tax loss £3.9m ⬇️70% ⚽️Player signings £0 ⚽️ Borrowings in year £11.4m ⚽️ Total borrowings £130.6m ⚽️ Total losses over the years £228.2m

@Easters86 Don't disagree with that, think he's a generational talent but who is going to want to accept a fight without a belt unless Saudi money talks?

@MrCompo He’s good I just don’t want to see him fighting the likes of whyte or Franklin again Fight Kabayel or someone who is a live contender and let’s see where he’s at

Oof that was a brutal knockout, they need to move Itauma up now he’s above this level

@Easters86 I see your point but he took some shots tonight and Franklin was gassed early but his footwork, movement and brain for someone that young who is only going to get better is very exciting. Who knows what happens the first time he gets floored though

@MrCompo I don’t disagree but I’ve seen this before where someone looks invincible when they are knocking out 2nd rate opposition then the second the fight someone who can take a punch and fight back it all unravels pretty quickly, let’s hope they step him up Dubois wardley whoever

OMG!!!! KO!!!!!!!! Itauma!!!!

@Easters86 But what is there to beat given Uysk and Fury are on their way out, can't see them taking a fight with him

@MrCompo He looks really good but again it’s all relative to the level he’s fighting at so far

Said it once, will say it again. What a talent Moses Itauma is, good for him Franklin held out more than most

Be nice if we could up the goal difference some more, better than most around us but be nice to add to it as you never know come the end of the season #ReadingFC

Nice to have the game done and dusted early for once, Wigan been very poor #ReadingFC

Much better after Stevenage but then it couldn't get any worse!!! At least the 2nd goal gives insurance when the inevitable sitting back and aimless long balls begin #ReadingFC

@marksugar Thought it was three weeks in advance for the penultimate round although they may as well have announced the Championship games at least with no fixtures this weekend efl.com/how-to-watch/t…

@MrCompo Due today I believe

Be surprised if its anything other than Saturday 3pm but EFL won't announce tv picks for that weekend until middle of next week #ReadingFC

Just had to check how old Dzeko now is, 40!!!

Certainly different from the BBC with this enhanced viewing option of the Wales v Bosnia game on iplayer with the player positions in the corner of the screen as well as shot speed and distance in real time

@Marlin2811 Didn't know they'd moved the game to Friday 😂

I’m 28 games deep since 2019, 1 loss away to Leyton Orient. The rest unbeaten, I’m going tomorrow 👀 #readingfc

City been absolutely brilliant 2nd half

Be amazed if Igor Trapdoor is in charge come the next Spurs game

...yes the manager gets the most criticism but #ReadingFC players are also accountable. How in 50 odd minutes they can't create a situation where they get the ball into the box is inexcusable! Some basic composure to string a few passes together to create an opportunity, baffled!

Watched #ReadingFC for nearly 30 years now and that 2nd half performance is right up there for one of the worst halves of football I've witnessed and that includes the recency bias of performances with our financial troubles...
