bagman Aaron was injured whilst on trial at Aldershot (TCL) . Won't be back until well into New Year. He's not really played for 2 + years now. Unfortunately can't see him playing pro football again. Pity because in the Academy was a standout player in his year group

Unfortunately being a standout player in youth football rarely means you become a standout as a pro.
We’ve had plenty of hot prospects who faded once they tried to step up.....
I wish him well though and certainly will always have good memories of the years when he captained the u18 and u21 sides to some excellent wins.

Can see him ending up at Hull or Torquay tbh.

Bit of a disappointing performance in many ways, although Bayern were very good and losing to what should be the cream of young German talent. In the first half especially Bayern played at pace and pressed us very hard and we simply couldn’t deal with it. When we had the ball we gave it away too easily and when they had the ball they kept it !
Second half we were much more in the game without looking in control.
You could argue we created the better chances in the game with one cleared off the line in the first half and a double block in the second but Bayern deserves to win.
Of the first teasers playing only Alorinreally impressed, although Jakkola again showed he is a more than competant keeper and everything he did was neat and tidy. Barrett played out of position again but spent too much of the game trying fancy flicks which were never more than speculative, he needs to learn to hold on to the ball and chose when to try the unorthodox. Omar Richards did well and popped up in attack several times.
It was a shame in some ways that the game was used as a training exercise for the fringe first team players and we didn’t get to see a proper game for our u23’s but you can understand the need to ensure the first teasers are match fit for the Xmas period.
Respect to the 20 or more Bayern fans who travelled over for the game complete with flags and drums and sang non stop throughout the game. Impressive dual language chanting.

Fox Talbot Unpleasant and mildly disappointing win over an ill-disciplined Millwall. Loader and Fanyani scored early on but we conceded a soft goal on half time.
In the second half there was a really ugly brawl in front us (East stand) and the ref may have been a touch lenient in sending off one from each side (Coleman for us). Another Millwall player who stirred up what was basically a tangle of legs and grabbing got away with his part in it. That incident rather killed the game though Holsgrove missed a penalty.
I have to say nobody in the Reading team sang out to me as a big prospect / class above Millwall. Difficult game , win and move on.

good move all round I think.
He definitely has something about him. Whether he is quite up to Champ level, not too sure, but he has time to develop

Will be hoping he is a stand out player there and not just someone who disappears without trace with the odd sub appearance here and there.
Also Reading have drawn Arsenal in the FA Youth Cup I believe - anyone confirm a date for the game?

In the FA Youth Cup, we've got Charlton, not Arsenal. Game is on 20/1.
The Ladies team got Arsenal in the Continental cup, maybe that's what you were thinking of.
