U16s beat West Brom 8-0 today.

Also noticed that Okine-Peters scored for Uxbridge, where he is now on loan.

Impressive result for the U16s - seems there's something positive forming in the lower age groups. Anyone playing we can expect to see in the U18s next season?

Good to see Okine-Peters scored; didn't realise he'd gone out on loan.

Good move for him, tbh, to get some senior football. He'll probably be at that level come next season.

Another 2 goals yesterday for “the General” and against playoff bound Scunthorpe too, hopefully we might have another Doyle/Long prospect there.

Royals are 21st and Arsenal 10th.

Tonight - hopefully a decent crowd in.
Royals now 23rd Arsenal now 11th.

.....not if this Sat is anything to go by
...and boro are plummeting to'ard STEP03
As per NL on GF, I watched him first-hand in a heavy defeat [0-5] vs fellow relegation strugglers Enfield T.
The distressing take for this thread, albeit may just have been a collective nadir on the day, is that fellow RFC-loanee Beacroft wasn't much better at FB and ex-RFC lad Louie Holzman was hauled off at HT.
Maybe an indicator that he (Holzman) couldn't cut it at STEP01 Eastleigh, who'd released him in Dec.

The U21 game against Arsenal is at the stadium tonight. Andy Rinomhota is here, so presumably will be starting.

F-T 1-4 classy performance from Arsenal- Royals better than a 3 goal deficit. Never a dirty game but ref booked 9 !!
