It’s not gone well in the last week, has it? Reading completed a turgid three-game run with a loss on the road to beach-bound Doncaster Rovers. Ben and Ross discuss the very shape of that Yorkshire beach and try to work out what the shape on the field was, with Paudie O’Connor ranging upfield.
There’s a bulging mailbag to go through as well, and Ross pre-empts the Player of the Season discussion with a themed version of Dingwang.
