From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad10 Dec 2029

Seny Dieng keeps Reading in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 9 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market10 Dec 2029

Benn Ward hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Reading can pretend not to have heard.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Lewis Wing keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Reading may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Match8 Dec 2029

No end in sight to Reading's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Reading has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Adam Smith in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Reading this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Dec 2029

Jack Marriott’s goal not enough for Reading

Jack Marriott scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Middlesbrough, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad10 Dec 2029

Reading lose Miles Obodo

92 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Player ratings10 Dec 2029

Nobody could get near Daniel James

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings10 Dec 2029

Sverre Nypan keeps on missing

Shots: 7, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad22 Oct 2029

Sverre Nypan takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Defences have started doubling up on Sverre Nypan

13 goals and a season average of 7.61 will do that. The space he used to find has gone; he keeps scoring anyway, which is the mark of the real thing.

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Reading can pretend not to have heard.

Match20 Oct 2029

Reading find a way past Charlton Athletic

Charlton Athletic made Reading work for it, but the scoreboard read 5‑4 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad22 Oct 2029

Tempers go at Reading

Adam Smith was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

A masterclass from Sverre Nypan

Marked 9.81 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

One of those days for Daniel James

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.75, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Jack Marriott in the eights

A performance of 8.61 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings22 Oct 2029

Randell Williams in the eights

A performance of 8.47 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Market15 Oct 2029

Noah Lewis puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Reading, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad15 Oct 2029

Sverre Nypan is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.50 with 10 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad15 Oct 2029

No hiding place for Derrick Williams

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Derrick Williams, and the manager let it.

Match13 Oct 2029

Reading and Huddersfield Town take a point apiece

It finished 3‑3, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The Slaven Belupo Chronicle

18 Dec 2028
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match18 Dec 2028

Slaven Belupo up to position 1

43 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Remember the name: Gabrijel Šivalec

He is 20, he is averaging 7.34, and older professionals have started passing to him in the difficult minutes. That last part is the real scouting report.

Market18 Dec 2028

Lodovico is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Slaven Belupo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
