Bout time we had Swindon away, again, for a pre-season friendly. Or even Oxford come to that.

Seems strange that they haven't mentioned the Staines Town or Thurrock games that those two clubs have previously announced but I presume they will still take place.

Basingstoke sounds like a nailed-on...whilst driving home from Portsmouth

So with Drenthe training with the U21's, will he be playing in their games as an over 21. Not sure if they must all be U21.

He's not even Under 21 stone.

[Rea Ding]

Cheers, will probably go to this game then

A Reading XI is playing at Boreham Wood this evening. Squad features quite a few of U21 players who have been with the first team lately.

Provisional squad: Andersen (GK), Henly (GK), Long, Owusu, Sweeney, Hyam, Cooper, Dickie, Griffin, McLennan, Kuhl, Shaughnessy, Tshibola, Fridjonsson, Stacey, Tanner, L.Kelly, Fosu, Vastsuk, Samuel.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Who does that leave for the Wycombe game? Just Edwards?

So is tomorrows game at Wycombe going to be more like the team that will be playing in the first league game. Can't see too many of them being in tomorrow if they play today.

[winchester_royal]

Looks like it, though it's probably also being done to make sure the likes of Tanner/Kuhl/Tish get a good few minutes under their belt rather than coming on for the last 20 against Wycombe.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Yeh, good call. Leaves the centre mid a little light though. Who's gonna partner Akpan?

[JakeTheRoyal]

So the squad left for that game is ...

[winchester_royal]

Hector I imagine, and I have to say the prospect of a Hector/Akpan midfield duo for the Wigan game is keeping me up at night.

[Stuka]

Anyone going to Stevenage?
