Carroll was in a box with his family, he had a Reading FC polo shirt and all the kids in replica kits. One of the pitch photographers took a posed pic of them all before kick off. Clearly a "please don't sack me" display,

What a difference a few months is in football!! we ended the season with a bunch of ageing journeyman playing a dire brand of Inceball football that finally got us relegated with a bit of help from Dai!!! This season Dai is still trying his best to scupper the club, but somehow in a way we have managed to reset the team thanks to Bowen, Selles and Co and put together a youthful hungry team who appear to have bags of talent and zero fear.....and the difference is night and day!! If only Ince had put some faith into his youth last season we may not have gone down and he would probably still be at the club. This morning, for the first time in ages i had a real buzz about the game which was something that sadly disappeared last season. This may be a long journey, but after todays game you can clearly see the seeds have been planted and the future is bright!! All we need now is for Dai to pull his finger out and do his part. Bring on next weekend

The big proviso to that though, and this isn't a defence of Ince, is the younger players were obviously a year younger and we were a division higher. Being flung into that shitshow, certainly to the extent they have been so far this season, could have wrecked them.

For the first time in a very long time that I thoroughly enjoyed a Reading game. The players were (as a rule) completley aligned with each other, which showed in a variety of attacking moves and for most of the match a sound co-ordinated defence.
Well done to all for a deserved win. On the Azeez topic he looked nervous when he came on and it showed for quite a while, however, as the 2nd half progressed you could see his confidence rise, yes he missed a great opportunity to score but he created another 2 excellent opportunities, hopefully he will kick on and become more consistent with an end product that counts whether that's an assist or goal.
Yes its early days and there will be a loss or 2 along the way but if the play with this positive attitude there will be more wins than losses IMHO
