Charlton Athletic Fans Verdict: Home Comforts

The Loyal Royals react to a really good win at home against Charlton.

We all know supporting Reading is an emotional rollercoaster - and the last week or so since the Wrexham defeat hasn’t been any different.

The seemingly endless takeover not going through before the end of the transfer window dampened any optimism we seemed to have, before a surprisingly open statement and a very late loan signing of Chen Campbell did a little to reverse the mood once again.

Even with all the turmoil and the agonisingly tedious takeover, this group of players continue to block out the noise. This time with an impressive victory over the Addicks. And here’s how the fans reacted to it...

Charlie Savage

Even though last November’s tactical switches were a big turning point for us as a club, Charlie Savage was probably the biggest loser from them. Harvey Knibbs moving centrally effectively kicked Savage out of the team, and he's had to wait patiently since.

But ironically, Knibbs’ injury has handed Savage a chance, and so far he’s taking it. A wonder strike in the League Cup, a goal against Wigan Athletic, and another beauty on Saturday - all of which were accompanied by strong performances - have impressed the fans...

Adrian Akande

He showed small moments in his league debut against Wrexham of what he can do, but he upped his game another level on Saturday.

Although he’s still very, very raw and has a lot of maturing to do, there’s definitely a talented player in there. He was a real threat all afternoon, always wanting to run at his man and make something happen. And he did make something happen in the second half, with a wonderful assist for Sam Smith.

The fans liked what they saw...

An impressive win

This team really is made of stern stuff. I don’t think there’s a club in the country that has the kind of dark cloud hanging over it that we do, and for the players to keep their heads down, not let it phase them, and continue performing the way they are, is ridiculously impressive.

Hopefully this takeover saga is put to an end once and for all and this week and we can look forward to a brighter future - because the manager and the players deserve it.

The more they keep playing like this, the more we continue to fall in love with them...

Conclusion

A really, really good win. I just love this team so much - so, so, so much. And Ruben Selles, what is there to be said that hasn’t already been said? For us to come out of these first four games - all of which were against teams that should be in and around the top six come the end of the season - with seven points, is a great start.

Now we get two weeks to relax - if such a thing exists for Reading fans - when hopefully we can get some new owners and maybe some reinforcements. URZ.
