Matches Reading u18 v oufc u18 6/11/19

Can't believe the pedants haven't picked up on this but Reading isn't a city (it's a small town near Oxford ;)). In fact I don't think there are any cities in Berkshire are there?

I was thinking of popping along to this after work. Any other yellows going?
 
Believe the u’18’s are at home on Saturday v Yeovil if anyone needs a football fix!

Smith scores with first touch.
He could be some player. An U16 player and is that his 3rd goal for the U18s in a couple of sub appearances?
It certainly wasn't his first touch but he did well after coming on. Good goal, assisted by an excellent cross from Nico Jones.
 
The main thing is to go through to the next round so that's good.
Happy to be corrected but I would think that the management would have expected it to have been far more comfortable ( Reading City are at a lower level than Oxford City?)
I've certainly seen our boys play better and they should have won comfortably in normal time but at least we got through. Reading were very happy to sit deep behind the ball and we couldn't draw them out. They were determined and never gave up. I thought our keeper was good. Didn't have many saves to make but was always very quick off his line to snuff out any danger. Fabio Sole looks like he could be a player.
 
Had a really good chat to Karl Robinson in the first half and he was very happy to talk! Heard plenty of things from him and prep is already well under way for the Jan transfer window. One funny thing he told us was that Mackie had been given an extra day off (Wednesday) but still turned up for training regardless as he was bored! KR very impressed with Elliott Moore. He said he's going to put out a strong side this Sunday.
