The Royals win on the road, but the boys aren’t sure what to make of the team’s road ahead. While Ross thinks he sees green shoots, Ben thinks the season seems just about over already. And just where does the team rank in the League One table since Leamo took over? There’s appreciation for an active January transfer window as well, plus a mailbag with questions on Paudie O’Connor and Reading’s midfield.

Reading stuttered on their return from a two-week break, falling 3-1 to Leyton Orient in London. Ben and Ross debate the form of various key players at the club, and whether the holiday period’s results were a fair reflection of the Royals' level. Plus, there’s ample discussion of the recruitment, with the January window already two thirds through - with the boys agreeing on the position that needs strengthening the most. And with Louisiana Day fast approaching, there’s time for a Paudie O’Connor-heavy preview of the Barnsley clash.
