Seeing #readingfc START in a 4-2 or 2-4 buildup when low far more since the new full backs have joined. Gives Reading some flexibility to beat the press
The key though, as seen in the last frame is that Roberts has a trigger to leave the buildup and head into wide space as a target for a long ball
It was an omen @webberross.bsky.social @thetilehurstend.bsky.social #readingfc

Genuinely baffled by this #readingfc team under Leam but boy howdy do I like Haydon Roberts
Yiadom's side of the field on Saturday was responsible for 57% of Orient's total generated xG after the full back took a yellow card in the opening stages.
As I mentioned on the pod, I don't mind a well taken professional foul, but some of the yellows hurt #readingfc

I think @olivermantell.bsky.social is correct that so far I've been chatting here but it can be quiet
I use discord for other things though and I like chatting with #readingfc fans so I'm not opposed - we'd need some help moderating and maintaining it if it was a @thetilehurstend.bsky.social thing

On this week's pod, @webberross.bsky.social had a lot of love for #MCFC loanee Burns, who impressed for #ReadingFC at centre-back against Stockport County.
๐ง Full episode in your feeds right now.
I really do think Dorsett has been one of the most reliable players for #readingfc in 25/26
He's obviously not attack minded so Leam has found him a role that suits in the 3-2 buildup, and without the ball, he is statistically the best defensive dueler in the team
Most improved in 2025 for sure
55% of Reading's total xG today came from one man: Daniel Kyerewaa
Absolutely fantastic signing from #readingfc - one of their best in years
Every single time he gets the ball, Reading end up at least 20 yards further away from their own net no matter what the outcome is
Such a positive force
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 & itโs an absolute pleasure to do so.

I think I'm honing in on Pereira, personally. Peak should last a few more years at least and he's at least expressive and competitive on the field which so few players are right now
He's also current vice captain so presumably could step up and be captain if needed
Following on from The Weekly Bobbinsโ question, is it time to reconsider the captaincy? But if not Wing, then who?
(if thereโs not an obvious answer, that might in itself be revealingโฆ)
In which the Lewis Wing concerns become a Lewis Wing problem
Wing couldn't get close to involving himself in the game in a meaningful way today
Kelvin E had a bad game and still got involved in 4x as many duels
Legs have gone for Wing - needs to be given fewer responsibilities or dropped
