[Sutekh]

Ifollow have a guy by the name of Ethan Briston starting for Reading and McNulty playing the lone striker role up front

[Snowflake Royal]

John from Marlow has never heard of Southwood ffs.

[Old Man Andrews]

John from Marlow has never heard of Southwood ffs.

.......McNulty, Aluko, Baldock
.........................Joao

[Notts Royal]

Fuk me the shambles continues.

I think we should wait a few games before we say “told you so” to the Porno/anti-Bowen crew, otherwise we’ll be told to “give the new man a chance” haha

[Sutekh]

Nice to see Reading so dominant.

[Royal Ginger]

Hot knife through our buttery defence right now.

He is like coiled spring waiting to pounce.

He has a point about team selection though. WTF is Aluko doing near the first team.

[Fox Talbot]

10 mins gone and it’s already looking like a disgrace.

Club not taking the competition or us seriously, I fear.

Referring to Aluko starting and Niedzwiecki going.

We're not looking great though. Colchester look the better team.

TBF I have never heard of Bristow .

[Snowflake Royal]

Bit better for a while there. Aluko dwelling on it too long but (spits) not playing badly.

Me too, but Southwood has been highly rated around a while and active in the preseason squad

[Snowflake Royal]

Aluko seems to be coping some strops if he doesn't get what he wants and just gave Araruna a hospital pass.

oxf*rd me his attitude stinks.

Clubs not taking this cup seriously isn’t new information, and 100% doesn’t just apply to us. Most don’t take it seriously until 1/4 final stages.

Tbh, I’m fine with the club treating this like a final pre-season friendly and trying something different.

We've done it every time for the last decade or so, if not longer, so it shouldn't surprise anybody.

[Sutekh]

Paunovic out

[Royal Ginger]

Lovely little goal that. They deserve their lead.

[Dick Habbin's hairdo]

*Cue meltdown*

[Snowflake Royal]

What a goal.

Araruna left for dead standing off and too high for a great pass, and then a gorgeous sort of heel flick in at the six yard box.
