U18s won 3-0 against West Brom, goals from Cardwell, Husin and Sheppard.
U16s won 1-0. Several members of the side played for the U18s in a 3-3 draw on Thursday so perhaps they didn't do as well as they could have.

Why are the club so lax in updating the website with the U18/U21 results ??

Right now is the worst I can remember it being, still haven't got the Leicester score up! (3-0, goals from Novakovich, Husin and Sheppard, assisted by Sheppard, Davis and Husin)

Usually they get the score and a bare-bones report on the Monday, which is alright.

The two splash pages are a really bad look though, the headline news is from September.

Kasimpasa have completed the loan signing of the 19-year-old Georgian defender Lasha Dvali from Reading.
The Istanbul based club have signed Dvali on a loan deal until the end of the season. Kasimpasa have the option to sign the defender from Reading. Financial details of the deal are yet to be disclosed.
Kasimpasa confirmed the transfer on their official website.
Dvali joined reading in September 2013 from the Latvian side Skonto Riga. The Georgian U21 international spent last season on loan at Skonto Riga.

The 19-year-old made 37 appearances for Skonto Riga last season.
Kasimpasa succumbed to their second home defeat in a row last weekend and find themselves in 9th place in the Turkish Super League with 23 points in 18 games.
The Pasalar will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Mersin Idmanyurdu this weekend.

U21 cup semi final latest:

U21's just gone 1-0 up in the second period of extra time against Huddesfield.

[Pepe the Horseman]

They're through \o/ Jack Stacey with the goal

[UpThePrem]

Ok so its not the semi final. OS has it as the semi final. Huddersfield and Premier league site say its the quarter final. Good old Reading media, getting it wrong again.

[Michael Meaker]

Any idea when the draw for the semis will be? Presumably it would be played at the Mad Stad if it is a home tie?

[Colbster]

If I remember right, the semi final and final are both two legs. One home, one away

- nope... i was wrong.... only the final has two legs

[Ian Royal]

Woo Stacey. That boy has a touch of the Little's about him and will go far.

Pretty sure that's libelous.

Blackburn,Derby and the Royals are through with Southampton or Watford still to play. SF`s should be played before the end of Feb.

Pretty sure that's libelous.

Definitely a touch of the Littles in how he bundled his way past this defender

I like the way he made the ball disappear.

Doesn't take a genius to work out who we'll be playing...

Also the shirt number, of course

[Ian Royal]

I think this one is quite Littlesque

These are quite good too though.

The last QF Southampton v Watford is tonight so the draw could be tomorrow ?

Noticeably none of the 'big' teams still in it - but I guess the big academy teams?
