The Tilehurst End - A Reading FC Podcast The Tilehurst End

In a new series, Ben and Ross build their own teams made up of iconic or favorite Reading players from any era. What defines a cult legend or favorite player, and what are the stories behind those connections? 
Ross kicks us off with an XI of his favorite featuring a few nods to the Jose Gomes era, plenty of pace on the wings, and even a former Balon d'Or nominee...

Reading FC's retained list is released just minutes after Ben puts the agenda for the pod together, and he's very upset about his upturned show order.
The boys discuss the players who are staying and going at Reading FC, and answer a bumper mailbag, proving it's not just the two of them that are going mad without any football to watch...

Ross is joined by Dan Worth, head of social and content for whoscored.com, famous for their player ratings and the EFL teams of the week. The pair discuss how those ratings and teams come together then turn their eye to their mutual passion: the Royals.
Dan tells us the best stats for assessing Ruben Selles' pressing system, what the future may hold for Sam Smith, and which Reading player is making an absolute mockery of his xG numbers.

Burton Albion condemn Reading to another loss on the road, but Ben and Ross aren't too bothered now that survival is secured, and Dia Del Jefe is on the horizon...
There's a lot up for discussion in the mailbag though, with the season coming to a close and the pair in a reflective mood.
