The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast

Charlie Savage's dad joins the pod for a wide-ranging chat about Reading FC, and Charlie's experience at the club so far. Robbie gives a detailed rundown of his take on Reading over the past two seasons, and gives real insight on the team dynamic. Plus, with a hugely successful first season in management under his belt with Macclesfield, Robbie tells Ben and Ross his thoughts on why man-management is such a crucial aspect of modern management.

He's only gone and flipping done it. Reading Football Club is pleased to announce the sale in principle of the club to Redwood Holdings Limited: owned by one Rob Couhig (and Todd Trosclair). Ben drags Ross out of bed at 6am on the East Coast to celebrate the news before heading straight to the Amazons' show at the Purple Turtle stage!

Reading take the playoff race to the final day and score one of their best goals of the season against Bristol Rovers. Ben and Ross are here to break down victory over the Gas and try to help a bulging mailbag of Reading fans get through the long wait for Saturday. Plus there's time to hear about how Ben became a hero of the people this week at the megastore… Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

The Premier League brings out all the big guns for the under-18s cup final (and hopefully pays for them too), but the young Royals fall 2-1 at home in a late shock defeat to West Ham United. Ben runs us through that game before Ross recaps the men's team's 5-1 thrashing of Mansfield Town. There's yet another club statement for the pod to make a statement about relating to the ownership crisis, plus lots of excitement (and a fair amount of nervousness) around the playoff run-in.

Lead Professional Development Phase Coach and Reading FC's under-18s manager Harrison Gilkes joins Ben and Ross for a fascinating interview ahead of his side's PL Cup final on Tuesday against West Ham United at the SCL Stadium. Harrison gives insight on the development process, the difficulties of inspiring youth players to do their schoolwork, and just what it is that makes Reading's academy so good.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Two wins on the bounce take Reading two points clear into the playoff places with five games to go, while the club announce another period of exclusivity has ended, with a familiar face seemingly waiting in the wings. That gives Ben and Ross plenty to discuss, with the performance of Harvey Knibbs against Shrewsbury Town on Ross' mind in particular. A meaty mailbag is mostly focused on the ownership saga, but there's also time for our hosts to stitch up another listener's international trip to the Madejski Stadium.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

The boys hop back into the studio a match earlier than expected because that Peterborough United victory was just too exciting for Ross to handle. Ben's got plenty to say about Charlie Savage, and Noel Hunt's game plan gives Ross much to be excited about. Tivonge Rushesha dance-y dances his way to 20 more touches than any other Reading defender, and Michael Stickland shows an understated calm in his audition to be Tyler Bindon's replacement.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

It's the international break and the team is resting, but it's still a huge week off the pitch for Reading. Ben and Ross break down the outcome of the court case on Friday before turning their eyes to the newly submitted accounts for the 2022/23 season. There's even time for some discussion of football at the end, with the visit of (still Darren Ferguson's) Peterborough United on the horizon.

The Royals extend their unbeaten run to double figures, but does it feel like it? Ben and Ross are as mixed on that as the fanbase as a whole. The pair discuss the draw with Stevenage, as well as the ever-thinning personnel available for Reading at centre-back.  Plus lots of discussion of the run-in and how Reading might fare over the remaining nine matches. Will a rest help with the playoff run-in, and does the fixture list favour Reading? Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod! Follow The Tilehurst End on Twitter @thetilehurstend  Follow Ross on Bluesky @webberross.bsky.social Follow Ben on Twitter @mrblthomas

Reading put together another four-point week to maintain the recent 'two points per game' form and keep Ross dreaming of the playoffs. With Ben out knitting, Ryan joins the pod to give his take on the full-backs, and a full-throttle victory against Phil Parkinson's Wrexham. Plus discussion on the Crawley Town result, in which Ross tries to argue that there was very little difference on show from the four 'nothing results' Reading have already produced in Noel Hunt's reign.

Reading pick up fur points with a deserved win on the road against Wigan Athletic, followed by a rocky draw at home to Exeter City. Ben and Ross break down both games with a focus on Reading's trouble creating chances against well drilled defences, but celebrate the progress Reading have made in 2024/25.. The mailbag spills over with differing opinions, ending in a discussion of whether Reading are ‘ready' in the unlikely event they are promoted. There's even time for a check in on Tom Dele-Bashiru, and the boys wonder where on earth Ben Elliott has got to.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Reading enter yet another period of exclusivity with a potential buyer mere minutes before Ben and Ross begin recording. Luckily they've got SBWD and STAR member Adam Jones with them to discuss what the club suggests could be a "quick completion".  Alongside cautiously optimistic discussion of the exclusivity statement, there's an update on Adam's work with STAR and SBWD, and news on Yuan Yang's petition for an inquiry into the running of the club. Plus, on the pitch, the Royals pick up a clean sheet against the league leaders, and take a second point from them in 24/25.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

The Tilehurst End's own Tom Hill joins the chat this week to help Ross outnumber Ben with tactics nerds. The trio discuss early signs of some tactical shifts that were direly needed in midfield after Shrewsbury, with Savage and Wing's roles seemingly adjusted. There's further discussion of Wareham and Ehibhatiomhan's futures in this Reading attack, plus more discussion of the best food available in each hosts' locale. Plus, the boys open up the contract book to see where Reading will stand on July 1st, 2025.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Two draws, but two very different performances give the pod's two hosts two games to discuss in which Reading picked up two points.  Ben and Ross debate Wareham's effectiveness up top after a run of starts, and the listeners are interested in the makeup of the midfield in the mailbag.  Plus Ben remembers that photo of Steve Evans' dog, so that's always fun.

A bumper episode of the podcast today, as Ben and Ross are joined by TTE Reading women's reporter Peter Matthews. Peter gives an update on the recent progress made in the league by the women's team. Plus, he sticks around to give his take on the return to Reading of the Bodin family. Ross breaks down what fans can expect from new signing Billy Bodin, and the trio review a gutsy win over Bolton.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Ben's so bothered by the defeat at Brisbane Road that he can't find the words, so he takes to making a few up. Ross chews over changes to common passages of play in Reading's midfield and the pair both lament over Mbengue's absence.  The listeners help the boys discuss what potential changes Noel Hunt could make ahead of a visit to a Burton team that looked dead and buried just 2 weeks ago.

Reading fluff their lines in their playoff clash with Stockport, leaving Ben and Ross to do everything they can to avoid discussing the game.  The issues with Set Play defence, ball progression against front 2s, and Reading's poor record when playing from behind are all up for discussion. Plus, lots of chat about full backs in the mailbag and a preview of the upcoming clash with form team Leyton Orient.  Thanks as always to our friends at ZCZ Films for sponsoring the pod!

Reading win a second away game of the season, but Ross can't stop looking at the advertising hoardings and Ben's got his nose stuck in a newspaper.  Has the tide finally turned on the away form? A win during the midweek trip to Barnsley would certainly be a good omen...

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.
