This week's Tilehurst End Podcast sees Wimb & Handbags look back on a bright start to the Jaap Stam era at Reading FC as John Swift's goal seals a 1-0 win over Preston. We analyse an impressive statistical showing, while also giving our take on what still needs to be done to take the team to the next level.

Then it's time for a very special interview with former Reading & current Colorado Rapids striker Kevin Doyle who takes us through his Royals career from the highs of 2005/06 to his decision to go to Wolves. On top of that we'll tackle your thoughts in the mailbag and preview a busy week that sees Stam's side face Plymouth & Wolves.

We're still after your help in our crowdfunding scheme to help improve the show over the long-term so if you fancy lending your financial support to the show please give us your support here. Rewards range from a shout out right up to a brand spanking new mug & podcast appearance!
