Good Bindon update in this week's Niche Cache. Him and Surman at the Paris Olympics could be great CB double act.
Weird to think it, but after the desperate shambles that Tyler Bindon found himself in at Reading FC a month or two ago... suddenly things are going alright for them. They cleared up some (some) of their financial woes with January player sales, which also cleared the path for Bindon to become a starting CB again, and now they’re grinding out results like they haven’t done all term. It was last week that they jumped out of the drop zone. This week they’ve gone surging into the mid-table.
The 2-0 win over Charlton on the weekend was the big one. Taking points off a fellow relegation battler, serving new Charlton boss Nathan Smith a defeat in his first game. Reading were really good. Bindon had them steady at the back while they created several chances up the other end, with only some inspired goalkeeping denying them. However the denials could only last so long. Femi Azeez scored on 66’ and 76’ to secure the points. There was one brilliant Bindon tackle to prevent a 1v1 situation – he’s got a boyish face but know that TB definitely does not hold back from a challenge. He’s a menace in the aerial duels too.
They were then so close to making it three wins in a row. Up against Fleetwood Town in the midweek it was looking like a casual nil-all draw for the longest time until suddenly Lewis Wing scored a belter of a goal on 74’ and Reading began thinking about victory. Yet having looked sturdy at the back for most of the match, that extra layer of desperation saw the home side snatch an equalised in the 90+5th minute. 1-1 final score. Unable to quite hold on... but still a decent point that keeps them undefeated in six matches. Bindon was booked after 21 minutes yet otherwise looked as calm and composed as he has done throughout that unbeaten streak.
