Not a surprising result. Annoying, but not surprising. That will be that for the season now. Big chance for the young players on loan to catch the eye whilst at their temporary clubs as a clear out of this mish/mash squad is needed #readingfc

As a quite wild year for #readingfc draws to a close (with yet another twist in the tail today!), I just want to thank everyone for listening to & engaging with @thetilehurstend.bsky.social podcast. Co-hosting it is something I never take for granted & it’s an absolute pleasure to do so.

@webberross.bsky.social and I are going to do that thing where we do our own “retain & release” lists based on the OOC players. Should be contentious & we’ll probably end up arguing & swearing at each other, but it will be a great ride all the same #readingfc

Yep, another quiet week at #ReadingFC.
