OutByEaster? Posted September 25, 2020 Moderator Share Posted September 25, 2020 The OS has our goal as an own goal, the Official Facebook has it down as a goal for Archer. Take your pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 On 18/09/2020 at 15:48, barry'sboots said: I imagine if what Purslow says goes and it looks like it with the new signings, we have every chance of getting beaten fairly regularly. A load of 16 year olds up against 21, 22, 23 year olds and some overage players means that, even if they are the best 16 year olds in the country, we are going to struggle. But I absolutely get why he wants to be there and it is more important we are getting one quality player a year out of the youth system than winning youth cups. ditto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It's more beneficial to us to have a U23 team where we perhaps lose more regularly than we'd like with a team of sixteen and seventeen year olds but a couple of them are stand out performers, readying them for either an eventual loan or for our first team, than it is to have an U23 team full of nineteen and twenty plus year olds who are always winning because they find it too easy at that level and aren't challenging themselves and as a consequence won't be as ready for the first team. You only have to look at our team that won the NextGen Series which was meant to be like the youth version of the champions league, whilst it was nice to win that trophy, it wasn't really an indicator as to how succesful the players as individuals would be in senior football, Grealish and Robinson are the only ones currently playing in the premier league, Daniel Johnson is in the championship but the rest are either in the lower leagues, without clubs or aren't even playing anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of younger new signings this summer who will take a bit of time to get used to the club and each other and still some legacy players that might not fit Purslow's strategy. The youth set up is just starting to evolve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted September 28, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted September 28, 2020 Reading stats updated. It seems Archer took a shot which was deflected in by Nelson Abbey, so using fantasy rules I've given Archer the assist. Surely Reading's opening goalscorer starred in one of the Harry Potters or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - Augustus McGiff. Next up is a trip to Selhurst Park this Friday at 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 2, 2020 Author Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2020 The early kickoff sees Leeds go 2nd with a 1-0 at home to Boro. We're at Palace later and Norwich travel to Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah another one to keep an eye on for the future, I can only remember him coming on against Crewe in the cup last season.

OutByEaster? Posted October 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nathaniel Clyne starts for them. No news on our line up as yet because.....well, y'know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 2, 2020 Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2020 Stumped up three quid to Palace because Villa can't be arsed to cover the reserves in any meaningful respect. Players are warming up, I'll let you know the team as we get going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
