Just to demonstrate to one and all how far the club has fallen, the complete and utter shambles that is Reading now face a first ever game against Fleetwood Town. Now I'm actually fairly confident that not even Selles can get things wrong for this game (but only because it's at home and Fleetwood aren't all that). If he does manage to get it wrong though then I think that he should be removed with immediate effect.
Fleetwood are bad this season, in fact they are so bad that they are actually below Reading in a table not adjusted due to points deductions, and on a run of 2 wins from the last 5 league games but they are the only 2 league wins so far this season.
Jayden Stockley and Jack Marriott (he's the Fleetwood player you would probably have heard of) form the attacking partnership and have 4 league goals between them, Junior Quiritina provides what little midfield excellence there is.
Smith is back in the mix of things now and has a chance of making his home league debut the second time, CBC, Hutch and Ejaria are still crocked, as I think McIntyre is, but believe Yiadom should be available. Selles will no doubt though continue his tactical masterclass of Bindon at right back though, while Abrefa and Yiadom sit on the bench.
