I'm not sure about that as it's only December and there are some good teams below us who seem to have gotten their acts together (Peterborough, Derby etc). I'd also shake on a draw tonight though.

And hopefully a lifetime ban for the "fan"?

Such a difference to previous seasons and proof of the value of building a squad as early as possible in the summer. We've had some good teams before but we've always dropped off dramatically once we have injuries to key players. This season we have players like Yengi, Saydee, Raggett, Sparkes...

Good chance to take a real look at Kusini Yengi, replacing Colby Bishop up front. He started like a house on fire in August before getting injured. He's been back a few weeks now but hasn't had much game time due to Bishop's form. We desperately need him to recapture that early season form...

Well, when your unbeaten run ends, you may as well end it in style, I say.

Entertaining game for the neutral at Fratton. Keepers made the difference today. Should have really won by a couple but some great saves by Maynard-Brewer, assisted by the woodwork, plus Norris getting beaten twice at his near post cost us. The Charlton curse continues. Most depressing thing...

This one feels huge, given the history of the fixture, the upcoming run of tough games and our cup defeat at Chesterfield last week. After our previous attempts to beat Charlton I'm tempted to lock myself in a cupboard for the duration.

My my, you're hard to please. Unbeaten since early March and we're "bang average". Watching us once isn't really a good sample size. That's why there's a league table to show how good teams are. We didn't play well on Tuesday, granted, but it's great when that happens and you still comfortably...

Not sure what to expect at the Reading basket case on Saturday. We'll be strong favourites but we've not been particularly convincing the last couple of games. Our two wide men, Paddy Lane and Abu Kamara have looked off it a bit. Gavin Whyte is back from sickness and I have a feeling he may...

Not scheduled to finish until early 2024, so I think the away allocation is fluctuating quite a bit until then. Once done we'll finally get back above 20k capacity. Not surprised it's a popular trip for your lot :bg:

Cowley's style here was to try a high press when out of possession, not always but in certain situations and for a set duration. Sometimes it worked but not always. Defensively we were generally pretty solid. Attacking wise, he was a fan of switching play with long diagonals out wide to try and...

No way will you go down playing like that. We missed some chances in the first half, but you finished strongly and almost won it near the end. It's weird how we keep finding crucial late goals, but the team just believe that it's going to come.

Yes, it's all set up for you isn't it. All runs come to an end. However, the two-week break means our squad is in better shape now than it has been for a while. Yengi is back available again so we're not so reliant on Bishop. Connor Ogilvie is also fit again to fight it out for the left back...

Interesting tie at Chesterfield. Paul Cook left us sometime ago now, but there's still plenty of feeling on both sides about his departure straight after our promotion. I'd love to know where we'd be now had he stayed, but that's all in the past. Pleased to see he's doing well again back at...

If nothing else, that William Storey bloke looks like he might be able to cast a spell to stop Reading losing?

We've had plenty of our reds rescinded. It's all about the brown envelopes. You have to know how to play the game.

We'll be lacking half the first team on Saturday due to a combination of injury and suspension. This is time for our supposed strength in depth to show itself. Big game this to try and keep it going before the international break. Should have a few players returning afterwards.

This team of ours just don't give up. Wycombe took their chance in the first half and looked really solid afterwards. We kept plugging away and Wycombe will be gutted to lose right at the death like that. Had a feeling this would threaten our unbeaten run and it certainly looked that way for a...

I still won't believe anything's changed until we can nick a point off Charlton.

Very pleased with yesterday's win over Lincoln. They are tough to beat and we managed to once again get a result after going behind. It would be just the kind of game we'd have screwed up in the past after good results at Barnsley and Derby over the week. The squad is showing its depth which...
