One is a new keeper, what does that mean for Wildsmith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those 2 games lost was the opening day of the season against Plymouth I'd love to know how Aidy Boothroyd and his Watford team managed to keep that side out both games that season. The only side Reading failed to score against in the league that season as both games finished 0-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ward strikes me as a 1 in 3 performance wise but he does get assists at this level and on a free we cant moan at that signing hes a quality addition for where we are at. The goalkeeper signed will be number 2 I think, good understudy to Wildsmith. Knight is defiantly off and we need to shift Bielik before we can bring in some attackers, Clarke Harris and Alfie May limked but cant see Clarke Harris signing personally as 1.5m will be out of our price range.

Yeah you could definitely do with a striker now McGoldrick has gone. No easy task though replacing his goals I would have expected your new GK to be your no:1 this season as it doesn't make much sense dropping to League One just to sit on the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get your point about McGoldrick. Sometimes it's better to have 2 or 3 players getting 12-15 goals a season rather than just one striker getting 25 On paper League One is far weaker this season so you guys should definitely be aiming for the top 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow unravelling on pitch with combination of dour football and washed up managers. sign Sam Hutchinson get points deduction and player wages problems , old and slow squad relegated. Just need a change of ownership at S6 and happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have lurched from bad owner to bad owner since John Madjeski built them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
