The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast

Reading draw with Bradford City at home, rescuing a point after going behind in the opening minutes.

Having had almost a week to digest the result, Ben and Ross discuss how Reading’s season is going so far in the wake of Leam Richardson and Jack Marriott’s official manager of the month and player of the month awards. 

The pair discuss League One’s competitive September, with no team scoring zero points, and no team scoring more than 10. Which club is the biggest in the division and will an outstanding team emerge?

Plus, don’t miss out on an MK Dons-themed quiz!

Ross is being lazy and can’t be bothered to hop on a flight, so Peter and Bobbins keep Ben company in Siren’s RG1 location. The group discuss their hopes for the Bradford City game, and the season so far, plus a look at the women’s team’s fortunes in their early 2026 fixtures.

Reading draw away with Wycombe Wanderers, having to share the points with those Swan-loving boys. Was it a good point on the road or two points dropped? Ben and Ross argue that it really depends on your expectations for the season.

Plus, a bumper mailbag sees listeners ask the boys about Reading’s shape when defending crosses.

Reading take the lead on the road at Cambridge United but can’t hold on, leading to quite the debate between your usual podcast hosts Ben and Ross. Do performances matter at this stage of the season, and what was there to enjoy on Saturday?

Plus, Ross talks to Peter Matthews about the return of the women’s team to the SCL Stadium, with Reading running out 7-2 winners over Fleet town.
