Only 2 from the Academy in the squad today. Dorsett and Steven’s. When was the last time we had so few in a match day squad? When was the last time we only had 1 in the starting lineup
BTW I have decided to do my own personal one-off protest by staying away tomorrow. It has nothing to do with my missus moaning about the chip on my windscreen and her fear that I will get killed when the screen caves in on the M3. :wink: Anyway I will watch by streaming and the club already has my ...

MoM going back but I think he’s c...
Sorry, I meant in terms of the period between Premier League relegation to us getting relegated from the Championship (ie. post Madejski), as opposed to any specific players from the relegated side.
