I love the style of Olise's football and admire his willingness to stay with us this season although it seems most likely he will sign for a 'bigger' club (I hate that term) in the future.

But, am I the only one who who finds it difficult to see ex-Palace players in another club's shirt? When AWB went to United I willed him to make a mistake every time he got the ball. Even now, I hate seeing Gallagher play for Chelsea and he was only on loan to us!

If, as most of us believe he will, move on, I just hope Mr Parish holds out for the biggest pot of cash possible and a club record fee then spends it wisely to strengthen our squad.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

No details of Olise’s new contract have been released. But I do hope the club have inserted a large sell on clause, so we can get another payout a few years down the line should he move on again. I may be wrong, but don’t Reading get 25% of any fee we receive when he moves ?

With about 10 minutes to go of the Brentford game, I found myself thinking 'it's only a couple of weeks since Olise couldn't start the Liverpool game due to fears of stressing that hamstring and he's now playing 3 90 minutes in a week. We must be thinking about bringing him off?'. He then gets the injury right at the end.

I get he was on a hat trick, playing really well, and that Brentford were doing a little bit of threatening, but there has to be some intelligence amongst the management and medical staff in situations like that to manage a player who is so important.

Hopefully it's small and at worst he only misses the Arsenal game. If he misses Sheffield United, then quite frankly it's the club's own fault.

Absolutely. Questions need to be asked of the depth of the squad, but also Roy's game management.

I suspect given the pressure, Roy will have felt like he needed to do everything he can to win the game. Disregarding anything in the future.

He played 37/38 league games last season. His last season at Reading he played 44/46 in the Championship.

This is really the first period in his professional career that he's suffered any sort of major injuries - I dare say Chelsea aren't silly enough to think a couple of injuries in quick succession are indicative of anything.

That's a very reactive take.

Yes that's true. The only bidding war is likely to be regarding his wages
