Next game for the. U 21’s is a home PL 2 game at Bearwood on Saturday lunchtime(24th) KO 12pm against Fulham.
Same arrangement for attending as previously- Season ticket holders can phone the ticket office and pay £5 for being allowed in to stand on a grass bank .
This is Fulham’s 1st match, as they were scheduledto play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park last Friday. The start was delayed for over an hour and then called off due to insufficient medical cover for the players safety. !!!

Just curious what has happened to Charlie Wellens - I know he's still at the club but he's not been playing so assume he's injured?

Him and Wareham used to link up well for the Unders last season so would have expected him to feature last night if he was available.

John Clarke is another one yet to feature so far this season - also injured?

I assume they are both on the injury list, but as the club or local journo’s seem incapable of providing any info- who knows !!!

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Clarke got injured in pre season.

Did we know this?

Striker Reece Evans has left the Leicester City academy and joined #ReadingFC.
The Northern Ireland U18 international and a scorer of several goals for the Foxes last season, he will continue his journey away from Seagrave.
We wish him luck

Well he scored 2 on Monday evening for the U 21’s and it was mentioned he was ex Leicester, but no, club media as expected has said nothing

There was a guy called Harrison on the bench for the first team last night. I think he was announced as Sam Harrison. Can't find any information about him, certainly not in any of our squad lists.

The closest I could find any information (assuming he's a young player) was a Sam Harrison playing U17 football for Livingston United, who's first team playing in the East of Scotland third division. That seems overly left field though - signing someone playing U17 football for a Scottish ninth tier club.

Could he be someone who's come through the academy and perhaps played below U18 level last season?

He is Sam Harrison age 17. He however is English and played for the U 18’s on Saturday - which could have been his 1st match for the U 18’s.

Based on that U21 squad, I’m assuming Akande and possibly Tuma are with the first team.

I’m in Wrexham but my mate who is there says all four goals have come from mistakes on the left hand side by Source.
