The scrutiny sharpens at Reading

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Reading is running low.

Match11 Aug 2029

The wait goes on for Reading

6 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Pedro Pereira asks to leave Reading

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match11 Aug 2029

Derby County take the points off Reading

Beaten 4‑6, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Andy Rinomhota 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.

As if he never left: Alfie McIlroy returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Alfie McIlroy is a Reading player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Squad13 Aug 2029

No hiding place for Adam Smith

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

One of those days for Paddy Lane

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.63, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Randell Williams in the eights

A performance of 8.49 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Boardroom16 Jul 2029

The silence upstairs is getting loud at Reading

Nobody on the board has said anything against the manager, which is the point — they have stopped saying anything for him either.

Market16 Jul 2029

Reading say no — this time

The offer from RC Lens for Dennis Bossman was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad16 Jul 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.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Dennis Bossman gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad16 Jul 2029

Lewis Wing asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Andy Rinomhota question follows Reading around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Andy Rinomhota’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.
