The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast

Ben, Ross, and a secret third member of the pod are back to discuss an away draw vs Stevenage and progress in the EFL Trophy with a win over Newport.

Chem Campbell impresses Reading fans with an assist in a good performance vs Stevenage. Has he turned a corner from his early performances, or has he been in form all along?

Plus, a great email helping a loyal Royal with their travel plans as well as debate over the best backup option for Sam Smith in the mailbag.

It’s cup time in RG2 as Reading have games against League Two Fleetwood and Cheltenham. The Royals get a whiff of Wembley by progressing comfortably from the first round.

Ruben gives us a chance to see a heavily changed side in the EFL Trophy, and the progress of the academy graduates and more is up for discussion.

Plus, a hefty mailbag, and Ben continues to regale us all with his opinions of various British towns.

TTE Towers are all together in RG2! Ben, Ross, Sim, and Ryan record the podcast from the Dreamers Club suite (formerly of Mr Junior Hoilett) and take in the 1-0 win over Bristol Rovers together.

There's discussion of the optimism around the club amidst the first 9 point week in front of fans in 5 years, and where our current form could take us.

Reading win two on the spin to leave themselves sitting just outside of the playoff spots: firmly in nosebleed territory. 

Ben and Ross are up late to review some of the key contributors to the victories, and discuss who should start against Bristol Rovers.

Ross is in England for a few matches after a brief stop at Shamrock Rovers (Noel Hunt’s old stomping grounds), and Ben learns midway through the pod that the show is now available in video format on TTE’s Youtube channel.

The Reading FC academy has produced some absolute gems in recent years, but many have been lost during the Dai Yongge era to other teams either through circumstance or choice. 

Ben and Ross take a look through some of the most accomplished academy graduates of recent years, while also previewing the weekend action against Ben’s ‘favourite’ British town, Crawley.

The boys weigh in on a truly miserable week in Berkshire, with another takeover failing to be completed, and the team falling to a 5-2 loss in Bolton. 

There’s discussion of the definition of “garbage time”, the admirable lack of quit in the players, and the exciting upcoming match for the U21s.

Reading put in an uncharacteristically limp performance at home to lose for the first time in RG2 this season. The boys chat through some of it, including some interesting trends in the goals Reading are scoring.

The news (or lack thereof) on the takeover front is never far from top of mind, but Ben’s found some new ways to distract Ross… for content of course.

The boys are obviously caught up in the #barclaysmen trend, but Ross steps aside to chat to Tilehurst End Women's Match Report writer Peter Matthews about everything that's going on with the new Women's season in the 5th tier. 

There's also time for discussion of 3 players: Lewis Wing, Sam Smith, and the new Chem Campbell.
