Today marked our first win over Reading after 12 games without a win against them.
1. Who are the only 4 City managers since WW2 to have managed 2 wins against Reading?
2. Against which 4 sides have we suffered our longest winless runs?

Good point. Games.Originally Posted by Alfresco
I'm going to say Arsenal, Brighton, Aston Villa and Crewe
1/4 ain't bad! We haven't won in our last 15 against Arsenal.I'm going to say Arsenal, Brighton, Aston Villa and Crewe
We failed to win any of our first 11 against Brighton. The longest run without a win against Villa is only 5 games, half the number of winless games we suffered against Barnet! We did go 10 without a win against Crewe until Earnie's late winner against them in 2002.
jimmy schooler , jimmy andrews , Len Ashurst , lennie lawrence ?
You're right with Len Ashurst - his side did the double over Reading in a matter of 17 days at the end of the 1989/90 season.
Malky, Norwich
Spot on with Malky. Only ever City manager to have a 100% record against Reading (and Swansea).
While we've got a crap record against Norwich, we've never gone more than 5 games without a win against them.
Richie Morgan ?
Never managed us against Reading. Think more recent.
well i was going to say cyril spiers well in that case
neil warnock , russell slade or even DJ yes i know clutching at straws here
Warnock, Plymouth
Russell Slade ?
Slade and Jones both managed 2 wins against Reading, incredible as the Slade stat sounds! Pre war, only Fred Stewart managed the same.well i was going to say cyril spiers well in that case

Spiers never managed against Reading. We played them in the league in 1947 and not again until 1982, though did manage 2 5-1 wins in the league cup against them.
Yes. We've now got all the managers - Ashurst, Jones, Mackay and Slade.
We have one of the 4 teams - Arsenal.
No, no. (8 without a win against Plymouth was our worst).
To help you out, the other 3 sides we've had our longest winless runs against are currently in the Championship.
Sheffield Wednesday
are the 3 remaining sides still in the current football league ?
8 without a win our worst against them. Somewhat ironically, Neil Warnock was manager for 5 of those, where we drew 4 of them.
They're in the Championship.
all the B's
bournemouth , blackpool and blackburn
Blackpool are top of the pile. We went 19 without a win against them until Lennie's side beat them 2-1 at Ninian in 2003. From 1970, we won 3 out of 35 games against them.
Blackpool?
sorry don't mind me, Im a slow reader
