Wouldn't mind getting down to Newport, but not paying £70+ for the train.

Imagine it will be a fairly young team going to Crawley with the Charlton game on the 1st.
With the new season fast approaching, Reading will be selecting from and taking a full squad of first-team players to both the Crawley away game and the final pre-season match against Charlton Athletic at the Select Car Leasing Stadium on Saturday 1 August.
How big do they think our squad's going to be? :?

Well, the new season is hardly appealing so why should the friendlies be?

The gaffer is on a retched run of form with the majority of the fanbase against him! I'm pretty sure they've lined up winnable friendlies so as to try and stop the rot and early toxicity against the gaffer!! Either that or it's just in keeping with the general malise within the club at present.

Also, friendlies are primarily about building up fitness and team cohesion. The friendlies we have a very appropriate for that and we're building up the quality of opposition the closer we get to the league season.

Yes, but we are used to playing PSG, 115 FC, Barcelona etc. etc 😉

We are where we are, and of little interest nor use to the teams above the Championship

Are we playing games or is it just a training camp?
