It's a 3-box-3 actually in buildup, here you can see it really clearly. Jacob again the high wide player on the left.

Doyle and Lane (Second Striker and Half Winger) drop in

Lane and Kyerewaa swapped sides a few times in the first half

442 when pressing, more 4231 when deeper

Some early tweaks for Leam's #readingfc

Jacob very high here in buildup. Puts Lane into the half space and draws attention

3-2 buildup where one of the 6s or GK will help to create an angle

This goes thru Stevens to the underloaded weak side where Doyle finds a soft spot to turn upfield

A very merry Christmas from Amadou and Knibbsy Claus! 🎅 #readingfc

Was hoping Portsmouth 7-4 Reading would get scrubbed from the history books… #readingfc

Office Secret Santa smashed it tbf… #readingfc

Gutting, but no shame in that effort after going down to nine men/kids... Saturday the priority. #readingfc

Would be interested to know how people are finding BlueSky… Has anyone gone cold turkey and deleted X? Feeling better for it or getting the sense you’re missing out?

Three trips to Adams Park in the space of a year. Four points and a saved training ground. Not the worst return. #readingfc

Think the message is clear. Together. #readingfc

No idea where the club goes from here. They’ve lost the most key member at the club.

But it’s now time to back Noel Hunt and the boys in the short term and then decide on the best course of action to try and save the future of the club. #ReadingFC

Noel Hunt’s last words as Reading interim manager were to tell Lucas Joao to do one because he felt he’d let the others down. No dickheads - it’s a policy I can get behind. #readingfc

The football was the football.. But the waiving of wages so others could get paid first, fronting the media without having the answers, the belief in players like Femi and the empathy he had with the fans’ cause were signs of a thoroughly decent bloke. Gracias, Rubén. #readingfc

Lewis Wing scored two goals off an xG of 0.07 last night.

At what point do Opta just start using a different scale for him..? Ridiculous. #readingfc

Personally would relish a trip to Anfield - an opportunity for Craig and Smith to channel their inner Brynjar and Shane. Realistically it’s going to be Sheffield United at home though, isn’t it... #readingfc

Four points from those two away trips is more than satisfactory. Coupled with an improved showing at Stevenage before the international break, finally building some momentum on the road. #readingfc

HT: P’boro 0-2 Reading. So far so good. Think the ex-Cambridge lads are enjoying this one… #readingfc

Quite literally burning the midnight oil out here in Korea, UTD. #readingfc

Feel like the #readingfc hashtag has been a little quieter on here tonight than on X… 😅
