3 goals nicely taken, Reading ran out of subs so a call out to the u16 game fpr an extra player, Reading now with 4/5 u16's

that’s nuts. I guess it shows how strapped for cash they are.

FT 2-2. Very disappointing result considering we were two up and playing against ten men.

However, reading u21 have quite a few first team players playing to, even though a league 1 team, rhey were a champ side last year with Tom Holmes captaining them, so bot that bad a reault

Ive told him he needs to calm it down, as his body language apparently an issue when it comes to england scouts - possible one thing holding him back from international call up (possibly more)!

There's one thing doing it on the pitch and then another doing behind closed doors. It's really hard for a GK when the defence gives up.
I was a defender and it would enrage me if that happened. Glad you got your ear close to the ground on what is good for him. I only made it as far as your boy has so far and it would have been really great to have someone to guide me as my parents were more about pushing me towards academics and stable work

Agree on timings, this team only do their half times pitch side but for his team its been thst way all season, i guess a reason why only 4 playwrs offered pro!

Understand fully thr education aspwct as well, i mever had parents who got it growing uo, so never actually did anything sports wwise, so i give plenty of supoort and critism, and encpuragement of education (which has been the hardest part).

2+1 pro contract on the table for him at the moment though
