Chorley 1-0 Derby

All Luton. Naff all from Reading so far.

Luton hand a debut to Gabriel Osho and have what looks like a fairly string team.

The team today is



Debut for Pendlebury
Boycie makes the bench

I know someone mentioned Dale Jennings, and I'm sure Richards will go on to be a lot more successful, but his fall from grace has been pretty spectacular: 2010–2011 Tranmere Rovers 29 (6) 2011–2013 Bayern Munich II 36 (1) 2013–2015 Barnsley 47 (4) 2013–2014 → Milton Keynes Dons (loan) 6 (0) 2015–20...

If we have had problems agreeing a new deal for Richards because of financial constraints then this is going to apply with others including Olise. difference with Olise I suppose is we could load the contract from next year. Stay here and get a big whack from July onwards. Could we though? Surely w...

Being reported on SKY now. This looks like it’s happening. Reading sources saying FFP means we cannot offer him the deal he is worth and that the club think his value is about £15 million. A huge shame. Not sure if true but mate saying he might be leaving for Bayern in this window for a million. I ...

Oh well, never mind just have to find a replacement. Good luck to Omar, obviously no way he’ll turn down this sort of opportunity, though if he does help Reading to promotion this season he might regret things a little. By the way wouldn’t there be some sort of compensation due even though it is an ...

Just a reminder as well, it’s a 12pm (noon) kick off due to the BT Sport coverage. If you are not in the Berkshire area and can’t watch the game then iFollow will provide audio only commentary for £2.50.

andrew1957 Just remembered that Sam Smith's loan ends today and so maybe he will be in the squad - although he has not exactly had a great loan at Tranmere.

At Tranmere Sam managed 5 league appearances plus 1 appearance in the “Tonka Toy” Trophy, 0 goals scored

Pauno confirmed in the press conference today that Gibson is back next week, with Arauna, Meite and Moore by the end of Jan so looking good. Just Yiadom longer term so looking good. Even Yids shouldn’t be too long after that. Meite is expected back for Bournemouth (29th) though probably only on ben...

Ahead of his side's FA Cup game vs Reading FC, Luton Town boss Nathan Jones has said this afternoon that "at this point, we are as COVID free as we can be." It comes after their match against QPR was postponed last weekend due to positive tests in the Hatters camp. The game will definitel...

Zip This is very odd. I was in AE and yet my new thread appears on the Team Board.....again.

Mags/Waxy please can you move to AE.

Ta.

3rd time I've seen someone do this recently. Is there a glitch?

No, it’s just the new normal.

@Ollie_Bayliss · The draws for BOTH the FA Cup 4th & 5th Round will take place on Monday 11th January at 7:10pm Both draws will take place on the same date 'to aid with fixture scheduling'. The draws will be conducted live on BBC Two & BT Sport 1. Would have been much more fun to do all the...

@Ollie_Bayliss The FA has changed the substitution rules ahead of the FA Cup 3rd Round. Clubs can name 9 subs of which 5 may be used. Teams can carry over any unused subs & make a further sub if the tie goes to to extra time. Here we go, changing competition rules halfway through a competition ...

Looked horrible Always difficult to say how much intent but no choice other than a sending off there And he’s a decent player - they’ll miss him 3 match ban for straight red? Does that mean he doesn't play against us? How many games do Brentford have before we play them ? FA cup and then the league...

This one is cropping up again - whether he gets enough points to get a permit now though is another question. Due to his age we might be able to get one for “outstanding talent” but it doesn’t seem very likely that it would be successful. Mendes is 21 and has not played a full international appeara...

I think getting regular football at the top end of the Championship is better long-term for his career than being a bit part player in a stronger league. Agree in most cases, but a chance to join Bayern is huge. Training with some of the best players in the world, experience of being part of a mass...

Ideally i'd start with anyone who was on the bench on Saturday plus any injured players returning, but reading JLow's article it doesn't appear as though Gibson or Yiadom will be fit for Saturday. Normally i'd want a stronger lineup, but the league is the priority and we've suffered enough injuries...
