Surely we could have found a different loan club for him than those nutters.

[Royals and Racers]

U18`s met Villa for the 2nd time in 5 days today, this time at home but lost 2-1 and had Michael Olise sent off.

RFC website still to post a match report from Friday`s U23`s victory at Woking !!!!! If and when they do they will probably say that Reading have qualified for the QF`s in the Premier league 2 cup. However i think we still need a point from the remaining group matches away at Birmingham and Fulham. If we lost them both and Birmingham and Fulham both won there remaining match against Colchester all 3 teams would end up on 12 points and presumably qualification would be decided on Goal difference.

Very good news. Supposedly one of the best players coming through the ranks here and been attracting a lot of interest from bigger clubs.

[Hound]

Only seen him once, but looked handy. Didn't stand out as being only 16 in the U23 game

Racers, yep, it's disgraceful. I went to the Canaries site recently and they had full in-depth match reports up in minutes. (I get a lot of my info from you, tbh, so thx much).
We take pride in our academies and spend a lot of money on them. Whoever is responsible at the club, or on behalf of it, isn't doing their job. (Assuming there actually is someone assigned to it?)

I heard the person responsible is injured.

It's poor, but if it's that big an issue for you contact the club.

They may have visit data that shows bugger all interest is shown and think it's not worth the effort.

Encourage them that there's a market that cares about it and I expect they'll put a bit more effort in.
