Scouts from Reading watched Accrington Stanley defender Benn Ward in their FA Cup tie against Mansfield Town on Saturday. According to Alan Nixon - https://x.com/i/status/1997615930801873202 And the whole world is also interested - https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/bradford-city-reading-and-chesterf...

Royals and Racers Disappointing that it appears no video anywhere of Wednesday’s penalty shoot out win.

Just one block open at the moment

Listening to the radio and sounds like Knibbs, Ballard and Mbengue (og) have all scored this afternoon so far

Peterborough's mini-revival stalled yesterday as they lost at home to top-of-the-table Stevenage

They would have drawn level on points with us if they had won

Can not find any information on injuries to Marriot and Lane when can we expect them back missed them yesterday You won’t any longer because the new manager is refusing to update on injured players. Hopefully we still might find out through other ‘ sources ‘ Other sources like the player himself? F...

See Richie is now suspended for the next game

Vision

Sutekh I’d suggest it’s a 5-3-2

Pereira
Abrefa Dorset Danny Des Randell
Savage Wing Ritchie
Doyle WiFi

Rino on bench

More likely a back 4 with Dorsett at Left Back I'd have thought.

No Lane or DK in the match day squad. Injuries I assume.

Lane injured. DK suspended, 5 yellows

I quite like the surprise of the team being announced and thinking "Ooh, he's back I thought he was still injured!"

It's slightly more positive than "Oh, still no XXX I thought he was due back today, probably out for another month then"

When asked if he'd be next, Meite replied:

One day will be back for sure

Clyde1998 We won't have to think about this competition until next July/August (whenever the draw is made for next season) then.

Or not at all as Championship teams don't get entered into it

I think Marriott is out for most of November (on X), but there's been nothing official on that or from any journos. Out for 4-6 weeks from beginning of November, so likely to be out until the Xmas games start being played. If we are relatively successful til then, with the window opening shortly af...

Would rather have Randell and Hopkirk (deceased)

Following the sell-out success of the Chris Conn-Clarke signed shirt, the Blues Store has launched another limited edition celebrating Regan Linney’s FA Cup hat-trick against Reading. Designed by Dan Designs, this collector’s shirt features the minutes of Regan’s goals (90+3, 90+8 and 94) and each ...

Just noticed that all the players we recruited in the summer came straight in and were not on trial with us first However we did have several players on trial but didn't sign any of them Does this imply anything - Should we have trial the ones we signed before signing them? Did we waste time trialin...

Least surprising news of the day… Yes but interesting* that we appear to have taken him from Barrow - so unless there was a clause in his contract allowing him to move in certain circumstances, we may have had to pay a release fee. Also interestingly, whilst the press release states they worked tog...

At 2-1 why didn't the players take the ball to the corner (or waste time some other way)? Doyle and Kyerewaa did in the Virtu Cup v MK Dons so why not yesterday? If the players didn't think of it why didn't Leam suggest it from the sidelines?

Dear Leam What are you going to do as it looks like you've got your work cut out after yesterday's result? I guess you need to work on overall fitness but don't go too hard else you'll add to the current injury crisis Then there's improving the mental fortitude that's required to prevent collapses l...

What does this tell us about the squad for this afternoon's game?

A few of the Unders playing this morning have played some of the other Cup games this season so are we going slightly stronger as it's the FA Cup?
