Going to be a crazy season judging by some of last night's results.

I keep repeating myself but I think Reading are going to stay in contention all season.

They've only conceded 1 goal so far, that's some statistic !

Barnsley have appointed a new head coach now

Used to play at Palace I think....or Charlton

Have Reading opted for a fast build?

A bit unsporting 

[Casual Observer]

It's absolutely wide open this season with no real stand out teams. I honestly think Rovers and the Nobbers will be in and around the mix come the business end. Both pushing for the play offs.

Very funny!

I'm guessing (hoping) that their assault on the summit is built on far less solid foundations than ours, but I guess we'll see. After all, weren't Charlton flying this time last season before dropping like a stone into L1?

I hope so too! Would be a good one for us to win on Tuesday

can only see reading occupying a relegation place,bowen galvanised the team and then they go and basically demote him for a coach who`s got absolutely no idea of what british football is about

I know there is a long way to go, but this comment isn't currently ageing very well at all ?

...and foreign coaches have been successful in recent years in the EFL Championship. Load of ignorant rubbish.

Forest will have won 1 in 4 after tonight under Hughton. No prizes for guessing who they beat.

Sheff Weds getting turned over at Rotherham 3-0 too.

[bazza]

PNE and Rovers home form is relegation form.

[JHRover]

We should never have lost to Forest. A drab 0-0 is understandable but to lose that game late on in the manner we did encapsulates the weak, soft, easy to beat side to Rovers.

[RevidgeBlue]

Only goal difference separating us from 16th - about where you'd normally expect to finish under Mowbray.

[roversfan99]

To be fair we finished above 16th in both prior years under Mowbray. 12th is about right though and still is miles off target.

Bristol city having even worse luck than us with injuries

Weimann out for the season, Mawson out for 6 month and Sessegnon out for a spell

I think injuries and COVID isolation are going to play a big factor this season. Rovers have already used 26 players in matches so far. It’s going to be difficult to rely on unchanged teams this time. Squad  depth will be key.

[roversfan99]

Very much so. The narrative is that we have struggled with unavailability which you can not argue but it is common across the league, so we cant feel too hard done by.

[Rogerb]

Preston have lost 7 of the last 9 home games. 

[Sparks Rover]

Coventry defending well against Reading and manged to nick one.  Hope they can hold on.

Tony  needs to look at this and look for 1-0s every  now and then. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Reading look at a shadow of the team from Ewood. Even Esteves having a stinker.

[windymiller7]

What a mad league!

Coventry now 3-1 up!

Great strike for the 3rd but keeper made a hash of it really.

[windymiller7]

Nervy ending, but finished 3-2. Reading looked a different side to that on show at Ewood on Tues

[chaddyrovers]

It's crazy league with lots of twists and turns. Any team can beat anyone. 

Why people like the Championship so much. 

Good game tonight

[philipl]

So we demolish Coventry. Reading thrash us. Coventry handily beat Reading.

Going to be one of those seasons.
