Brilliant

Wonder if it’s coincidence both times Gunter has played we’ve conceded a hatful

He also played in the game against Newcastle that we won 6-0, so, possibly not.

Ah wingers....I remember those

GOAL!

1-0 to the #RFCU23s.

McCleary drove to the byline and pulled back for Nevers to slot in neatly - the Royals lead at Madejski Stadium.

[Royals and Racers]

Finished 2-2

[windermereROYAL]

Poor side this year, Colchester the better side throughout, and got a deserved draw in the 94th minute.

[Hound]

2-2 FT. Watched the second half in the commute home

Pretty uninspired stuff tbh. Conceded an awful equaliser in injury time when the defence stood and watched a simple cross come in

Keeper looked decent generally, Osho and Odimayo solid until the goal. McCleary looked fit enough and interested - an assist and a nice pass for the pen. Didn’t exactly scream to be picked for the first 11 though

[Sutekh]

Brazilian Werick Caetano has now signed for the Academy for the rest of the season.

[Royals and Racers]

So Reading announce today that Jeriel Dorsett has signed his first pro contract with the royals- this is on the website and Academy twitter. they also have a report of the Ladies team win yesterday(on website).
They however did not cover at all Friday`s U23 fixture at Middlesborough on the Academy twitter nor have they yet put a report on the website(only the result) not even who played !!!
I wonder if they will tell us before Wednesday that the U23`s are playing a friendly at Brentford.
I await the normal suspects making excuses that the media department don`t work Friday nights !!!!

You mean you await the normal suspects asking you not to bore us to tears with your usual complaints when you're not willing to make even the tiniest effort to let the club know there's an issue.

No one cares.
