Reading FC, once again, had John Swift to thank for a 1-0 win over Barnsley on Saturday that perhaps will not live long in the memory.

Yet, the Royals’ ability to salvage three points when not at their best could be a very telling sign, as Marc Mayo and Alan ‘Westy’ West sit down to discuss the match. In this week’s episode of The Tilehurst End Podcast, we also answer your Mailbag questions, run over the latest club Newsbites, and look ahead to Blackpool in Big Match Preview.
