MATCHWATCH : Southampton (h)

[Sutekh]

Pretty sure the Royals TV commo can't tell the difference between Senga and Rashesha, which given there's a good foot height difference, and completely different haircut, that's Dellor levels of impressive.

Senga is 6 foot 1 and Rushesha is 5 foot 9.

Well that's not what it looks like.


Good goal from Knibbs, very well set up by Smith... bit of pace upfront on display

[Hound]

Played ok. Smith been good. Knibbs works v hard. Senga done some good stuff but midfield chasing shadows a bit. Other end to where I’ve been sitting but not think McIntyres been awful. Bouzanis not inspiring

[blythspartan]

As I am up North I am watching this on my laptop and tbf we have done okay in the first half. I can see Knibbs and Smith doing very well in League One. Some nice breakaway play by Azeez but no end product. I’m not impressed with the trialist so far, but we are playing a strong Southampton team and they’ll be losing 2 or 3 of their players before the window closes.

Agree on trialist. Azeez is disappointing me. Expect more from him, probably unfairly.

[Sutekh]

Andresson and Shadowpoo are on for Bouzanis and Smith.

[Sutekh]

No indication how to get rid of the cr@ppy Soton commentators on the RFC app. But then with the Berks coverage being awful and playing music I'm not sure what's worse.

He said in the 1st half that this is our 2nd friendly after playing Wimbledon at the SCL stadium

[Ascotexgunner]

Keeper looked slow down for the third. Don't rate any of our keepers. Releasing Southwood is a gonna bite us in the arse.

[Snowflake Royal]

Azeez has to finish that. So tame.

Great work by Kelvin, then a heavy touch and brainless centre from Shoddypo.

Miss looks even worse from behind. Had a lot of goal to aim at.

[Sutekh]

Quite like the look of Senga, seems to be one of the brighter players.

[Orion1871]

Azeez end product is atrocious.

[Ascotexgunner]

Azeez end product is atrocious.

I've still yet to see what warrants the hype with him.

[NathStPaul]

He's a young boy, very raw but very talented. Give him time.

[Ascotexgunner]

Who the hell is that right back ? Been walked past twice.

[Sutekh]

Azeez end product is atrocious.

I've still yet to see what warrants the hype with him.

Got pace and strength, so stands out in a rather poor Reading squad, but seems a bit selfish and end prodcuct really isn't good enough.

Same old problems on display today, no strength in depth in the squad, creativity a serious problem and defence highly questionable.

This time next week Reading should be playing their first team with a proper substitution plan rather then the comical free for all of the academy boys and loads of triallists appearing. Would therefore expect a decent and competitive game anything less would be a real worry.

[Snowflake Royal]

Can't tell who anyone is at this point, but I think Camara is looking tidy.

[LightwaterRoyal]

Who the hell is that right back ? Been walked past twice.

Tyler Binden I think, not a RB so understandably struggling

[Sutekh]

Yay! 2-4

Was that Shadowpoo?

Edit. No Adrian Akande
