Louis Reed scored the only goal of the game to secure the points for the home side. The result leaves Reading in seventh, one point off Huddersfield Town in sixth. Here is what Royals boss Leam Richardson had […]

Mansfield Town 1-0 Reading: Shooting Ourselves In The Foot I’ll preface this match report by saying that the last two games I went to before tonight were the calamitous loss at AFC Wimbledon and the torrid game of football that was the draw at Port Vale, so tonight’s result is not to be unexpected. Notwithstanding that, after the injection of optimism the last two […]

Mansfield Town 1-0 Reading: Player Ratings Joel Pereira: 6 After not making a save against Luton Town, Pereira picked up four in the first half alone tonight. Made a fantastic save in the 20th minute, throwing himself in the air to block a goalbound effort from a corner. Followed that with a strong dive down to his right side to bail […]

Mansfield Town vs Reading: 2025/26 Match Preview Another win for the Royals has put them one point behind the playoffs, and in a genuine fight to try and secure that Wembley trip. Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan not only scored, but scored a hat-trick! I actually can’t believe it. In all seriousness, he pounced on mistakes, and for the first time this season he looked […]

Sholing Women 1-0 Reading Women: Match Report Reading Women’s impressive run of form came to a surprise end yesterday, with a shock 1-0 defeat against Sholing at The Mortgage Decision Stadium. Kezia Holmes’ 12th-minute wonder strike turned out to be enough, with the home side hanging on and securing all three points in what became a frustrating afternoon for the Royals. Reading […]

Luton Town Fans Verdict: Bedlam In Bedfordshire Every now and then, an away day comes along that – regardless of future results, promotions or relegations – just needs to be cherished in the moment as something special. Think of Tom McIntyre’s last-minute winner at Sheffield United, or the 3-1 win up at Carlisle United in 2024. On Saturday we got another – […]

The Weekly Bobbins: Something Is Shifting Kelvin Osemudiamen Ehibhatiomhan. I thank you and goodnight. That’s all I should have to write, but the overlords demand expansion, so here we are. It’s hard to pinpoint every factor that’s brought us to this moment, but something is shifting. Something subtle, something overdue. Are we… actually beginning to love this club again? Winning games […]

James Beattie Praises Reading’s ‘Magnificent’ Display In Luton Win The Royals picked up another last-minute win with a 3-2 victory against Luton Town at Kenilworth Road on Saturday. A Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan hat-trick secured all three points after a dramatic afternoon in Bedfordshire. The Royals took the lead early in the first half, with the home side equalising just before the break. Luton then took […]

Luton 2-3 Reading: Kelvin EIEIEIO-hibhatiomhan A special turnaround win, a special away-end atmosphere in Luton Town’s Oak Road Stand behind the goal, and one hell of a special day for Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan. While there’s a lot to unpack from this game and a lot of credit to be dished out, let’s start with Long Kelvin. Of course we have to […]

Luton Town 2-3 Reading: Player Ratings Joel Pereira: 5 Not Joel’s best day at the office today. He had a baffling goal-kick routine with Dez Williams, whereby Dez would stand next to him (literally) and pass the ball to Pereira, for Pereira to then go long. Luton eventually sussed this routine out and the first time they applied pressure to Pereira […]

Opposition Lowdown: Jack Wilshere’s Midtable Luton Town Form Luton Town were relegated from the Championship last season, after finishing 22nd in the league. They finished on the same number of points as Hull City, but their significantly worse goal difference sent them down on the final day. It’s been a whirlwind few years for the Hatters, having been promoted to the Premier League […]

Luton Town vs Reading: 2025/26 Match Preview The Royals are unbeaten in five and are looking to once again try and get into the playoffs. Although a few of the draws should have been wins, the last game against Bradford City gave back some good karma Reading deserved. Two late, late goals secured the win for the Royals, putting them one victory […]

Knee-jerk Takeaways From Reading’s February Funny old month, is February. It’s literally only three days fewer than January but every year, without fail, it just flies by. Now here we are, stepping into March with only 12 games of the season left already. How did that happen? As ever, I will take it upon myself to review the month that […]

Unpacking STAR’s Q&A With Reading Boss Leam Richardson Leam Richardson joined STAR for an excellent Q&A on Monday night at the SCL. I found it a fascinating and revealing evening, which taught us plenty about the Royals’ new-ish gaffer, so it’s worth diving into a little deeper. First and foremost, hats off to STAR for putting on the event. You won’t get better […]

Reading Women 0-0 Southampton Women’s FC: Match Report Reading Women’s first league match in exactly a month finished all square on Sunday, with the points shared in a goalless draw against an in-form Southampton Women’s team at Arbour Park, Slough. Before yesterday, the Royals’ last three games had all been postponed due to waterlogged pitches. This meant the team hadn’t played a competitive […]

The Weekly Bobbins: A Conundrum Of A Reading Side This Reading side is a conundrum. A confusion. A mystery wrapped in frustration. And honestly, this edition is hard to write – not because anything new has happened, but because nothing has. We keep collecting points while playing nowhere near the level of a team hovering around the playoff places, but are we developing? Only […]

Reading 2-1 Bradford City: Player Ratings Joel Pereira: 6 Showed fantastic footwork in the 18th minute, successfully corralling a horribly bouncing backpass before Cruyff-turning the onrushing attacker and calmly finding a midfielder. Punched away a cross-come-shot from Bradford in the 35th minute. Couldn’t make his hands strong enough to stop the high shot for Bradford’s opener. The ball did swerve a bit, […]

Reading 2-1 Bradford City: No Marriott, No Problem? Reading came up against Bradford City today, sitting comfortably in the play-off places and currently in good form (fourth in the league form table). Reading, despite performances not being great, were in reasonably good form as well (seventh in the form table), had only lost two games so far this year and were playing at […]

Opposition Lowdown: Graham Alexander’s Promotion Hopefuls Bradford City Form Bradford City were promoted to League One last season, gaining automatic promotion after finishing third in League Two. Promotion ended their six -ear stay in the fourth tier, following their relegation from League One in 2019.

Reading vs Bradford City: 2025/26 Match Preview Well, that was annoying. Reading seem to have this thing where, once we go one goal up, we sit back and do nothing. That second half against Port Vale was one of the worst performances I have seen from Reading since the game against Peterborough United earlier in the season. The hosts deserved a goal, […]

Reading The Room Well, this season isn’t going quite as well as we thought it would, is it? Or is it? Reading are seventh in the table and in the fight for a playoff push, have invested heavily in the squad and brought in a lot of good, new players and have security from engaged owners. It doesn’t […]

Port Vale Fans Verdict: Reading Get What They Deserved For the second game in a row, Leam Richardson’s men got exactly what they deserved: punished by a late equaliser that had been coming from the moment the second half started. Yes, the pitch was a leveller and horrendous conditions for football, but that really isn’t an excuse. If we’d played even close to the […]
