Joe Knight is going to be a very good player

Yes another one that looks and plays older than his years.

This one, unrelated to the game, also tickled me.

Just home from the Amex. Great we won and hilarious we sent an u16 to get the winning penalty. Well done Harry Howell! The Reading penalties were among some of the worst penalties I have ever witnessed. They were atrocious.

How many tinpot fans there and was there segregation?

So the fairy tale cup run for the plucky division three outfit has ended. With rows and rows of blue empty seats, they did their best to turn it into a home game to see if that might get the minnows over the line, but it wasn't to be. Sadly, little Reading are left to dream what might have been.

Still, another trip to Sussex beckons next year for them, so it's not all bad news. Unless Crawley go up of course.

I wonder if they've got any players we could buy for a modest fee that would break the hearts of their busload of fans? Silly me, we've just seen them. They're all gash.

Actually, whilst that match was going on, Reading’s U18 side were winning 4-0 away at Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Youth Cup. They are quite excited about a striker who bagged a hat trick in that. Perhaps SWOOPING for him could be the coup de grace…?

Has anyone pointed out to the Reading Twittersphere that it was far from our strongest possible u21 team? I'm sure they'd like to know.

Reading certainly a reminder as to what can happen when the local millionaire runs out of cash

He didn’t run out of cash. He did run out of motivation.

How many tinpot fans there and was there segregation?

No segregation. They had at least half the crowd. It was weird because my seat seemed to be in with their lot. They were watching their first team at an away game, so wanted to stand. Not really the vibe I had watching our kids

From the QF onwards the draw is no longer regionalised and the SF haven’t been two legged since they added academy sides.

Ball numbers for the Bristol Street Motors Trophy Quarter-Final Draw will be confirmed on Wednesday 10 January. For the Quarter-Final Draw, Clubs will remain regionalised in Northern and Southern sections.

Quarter-Final ties will take place week commencing January 29.

Second best for most of the game, luckily Reading were terrible in front of goal, and McGill atoned for his own cock- ups a couple of times. Reading pens were mostly hilariously bad. Joe Knight is going to be some player……..

I've heard a lot of people raving about Joe Knight recently. What are his standout qualities? Who would you compare to him?

How many tinpot fans there and was there segregation?

There were probably slightly more tinpot than Albion and no segregation on the concourse but their seats were all on the south end of the west stand and we were the north end.

Wycombe
Wimbledon
Crawley/peterbrough
Us, come on Crawley tomorrow and please can we draw them

Quarter-Final ties will take place week commencing January 29.

So we will face either Wycombe, Wimbledon or the winner of the Peterborough v Crawley tie (which is played tomorrow).

Incredibly composed on the ball, strong in the tackle and looks technically very good at least.

Interesting they’ve changed the QFs back to regionalised as it hasn’t been since the academy sides joined the competition. Saves our players a potential trip north for one more round and that section of the draw has a real northern feel to it this season.

Means we will be playing one of AFC Wimbledon, Wycombe or Peterborough/Crawley.

He is an excellent set-piece taker.
