[Pepe the Horseman]

Our U23s seem to lose every game. Is this because they've been stretched with a lot of them being part of the first team squad? Or are they just not very good?

Oh no doubt, which is absolutely going to have an impact further down the line.

Embarrassing currently Reading U18’s 0 West Ham U18’s 6 at Bearwood after 80 mins !!!!
F-T 0-6

[Snowflake Royal]

80 minutes isn’t a point I'd call out as embarrassing for 0-6. 18, yes.

Little from column A, little from column B.

Also column C, which is that they’ve had their own injury crisis which has been basically as bad as the first team.

60m for Halilovic and another game for Thomas who is trialling

I’m pretty sick of our CBs so be interesting if he does become an option

Terrell Thomas age 26 !!! free agent ex Crewe. Sub Keeper Kacper Kowalczyk is 20 free agent appears to have dual British and Polish nationality.

Yeah sod it, let's sign Thomas and start him and Dann at the weekend, it can't be much worse.

The fact that Thomas played a second game means they must be seeing something worthwhile.

Yep, I'm all for it. The fact he has played a couple of games and full 90s at that, show he must be close to match fitness and will likely take a contract for 2 months on low wages. So either offers a different defensive option on the bench at worst.

Kacper Kowalczyk signed an internship contract with Reading’s Academy in January (!) as a goalkeeping coach and will also join the Reading U23 squad

Yep.

Either he improves us, or he highlights that Holmes and Morrison aren't as bad as everyone pissing and moaning says.

He's not saddled with the baggage they are, and he brings an important new quality with some pace.
