Potential banana skin for Stevenage this one, but the home team should probably prevail.

Love the cup, coming all the way to teams 2 divisions below to see Reading being out fought and outplayed

For some reason Reading haven’t managed any threat on the Stevenage goal yet and Jaakkola has just taken a goal kick where the ball actually got over the half way line

It’s an unusual game, both teams are kicking the same way.

If you see the team sheet and can't work out who is playing where, the manager has got something wrong.

.........................Jaakkola
Bacuna, Ilori, McShane, Berg, Richards
............Evans, Edwards, Kelly
...............McCleary, Barrow

I think Stam might be taking the piss.

Yeah, but 54% possession. Isn't that how you win games?

Attempt saved. David Edwards (Reading) right footed shot from very close range is saved in the top right corner.

Right Edwards, your oxf*rd dropped for the next match!! How dare you thwart my clear instructions!

Attempt saved. George Evans (Reading) right footed shot from the left side of the box is saved in the centre of the goal.

And so are you two cretins!! Jeez, how clear can I be? Don't you remember anything of the Dutch Total Non-Football I taught you on the training ground?

Half time 0-0

Utterly awful overall, being outplayed all over the place mainly by their own ineptitude.

Richards has probably looked the brightest while Berg is having a ‘mare and proving he has the touch (though not quite the accuracy) as well as the speed of an iceberg

Rest of them have been largely nondescript and lacking any real threat at all

Fans not happy but at least it can only get better

According to RFC on Twatter some while ago:
Looks like Richards and Bacuna will take up wing-back roles - Van den Berg, Ilori and McShane as a back three.

Kelly is so slow with his decision making, he really is poor, whenever he plays we just stand no chance on the break with him on the ball. Our worst football appears to be when he's playing.

Is it wrong that I want us to lose? Anything to speed up this impostor's departure.

3 shots and 1 corner after 70 mins against a div 2 side

Sounds like utter faeces
