So we have yet another game in our crowded schedule! Although it won't involve many (if any) of our regular first choice squad and it will be another run out for our youngsters and reserve squad members. That's a good thing - isn't it? Bowen is setting the FA Cup "reserve teams" up in the...

Loader has plenty of time on his side. Meite bulked out physically during his year out on loan. Loader should be out on loan in a lower division for the remainder of this season. Stalled contract talks is most likely why he isn't.

Felt sorry for House. No chance to settle into the game.

Defended well in the final minutes.

I'm sure the players involved will have no complaints in playing another competitive fixture.

I would not be surprised to see more youngsters move on in Jan as they are going to find development opportunities in the first team extremely limited here. Hopefully the investment in the academy will help the overall finances of the club. Many youngsters have the raw talent. Whether they have the...

Didn't think Adam was as bad as some said. On the ball he was ok but looked off the pace otherwise.

Off the pace = defensive liability.

An industrious no frills box to box player is what's required.

Howe was ok in the replay. Raw but appears to have talent. Needs time to develope.

Surely there isn’t a single reading fan out there now who doesn’t think sacking Gomes was the right decision? The amount of bedwetters on here at the time was an embarrassment. The guy was a fraud. Finally we have a manager who understands how to play in the championship. Was something more. Like S...

windermereROYAL I like Charlie, however he`s out of shape, we really need Ovie back in the middle , and Adam back as an impact sub if needed.

Ovie's all round game isn't good enough. Like Meite still gaining experience.

Baldock would be better suited playing there. As links play up well.

Reality check. The team is a work in progress.

The defeat was self inflicted. Too many wayward passes/poor decisions.

Without someone to hold the ball upfront. Going to struggle to put any opposition under pressure.

Let's hope he continues the good work for the remainder of the season.

My account was credited with the STAR membership points for 19/20 on Tuesday.

As for Aluko, he was an awful signing, who has been awful, got drummed out for being expensive and awful and now we're stuck with the waster again. What point exactly there is in giving a poor performing experienced player 5 minutes against Blackpool I just don't see. Fresh legs and an experienced ...

Yep, thinking the same. Expect Puscas in for Baldock though, then the question is do we rest Baldock completely if he's not going to be starting? If we do then wonder if we may see Adam make a cameo appearance given that there's a spot available on the bench now that Barrett has left. Or if McIntyr...

For a second 11 we were tactically well set up, professional and disciplined. Noticable that Olise started and spent most of the game on the right wing. With McCleary sitting more central and deeper. Andy Rinomhota had his best performance for a while. Tom McIntyre was calm and composed under pressu...

None of the players who played in the first leg who are involved in the U23 game today (Osho and Watson are involved) - so I strongly expect its much the same side as the first match Yep, thinking the same. Expect Puscas in for Baldock though, then the question is do we rest Baldock completely if h...

Travelling up with STAR. Too far to drive, Although far quicker.
