RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Pity from City's point of view. As for me redeaming for another pre-season game doesn't work as I had more than sufficient points to cover all of them. Never mind, it was only points I wouldn't otherwise have used anyway.

W-S-M Seagull Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Does anyone get the feeling that Reading could be one of those clubs that could go under? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Reading managed to put a team together against Wimbledon in Spain three days ago where they lost 1-0 in very hot conditions. Maybe they didn't fancy another potentially tough game in such a short space of time. Their development squad lost 5-0 against Torquay over the weekend. Just bad planning on Readings part it seems. 6 minutes ago, W-S-M Seagull said: Does anyone get the feeling that Reading could be one of those clubs that could go under? Yep.

Maybe an 11 v 11 within the club tomorrow ? I guess they've planned in 'game time/competitive minutes' so they'll probably have to resort to this. But it's a bit like playing yourself at chess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully not too disruptive to the preseason schedule. Surely the obvious solution is to put the first team squad out at Bath City tonight rather than the U23s? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine the Bath game is for those not in the first team group, so I’m not sure how beneficial it would be for our first team.

If so, it would at least be competitive, not sure how competitive an in-house game would be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is like we were due to play & a flash flood (& there have been plenty of them recently) means it is off. They have plenty of other games coming up so will adjust accordingly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they need a new owner at the very least. The current one got them relegated by not keeping to the EFL business plan. And he seems to be pretty bored of them.

Absolute mess of a club. Officially without a manager still as Selles yet to be confirmed. They’re in serious trouble.

So choose from Oxford, Newport or Swindon, if you haven't already bought them. Or just get another code and donate it to a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've just moved back to Cat 1 for their academy and the costs that come with it so can't be in too much trouble As for the cancellation you'd have thought City might have just told them to bring whatever squad they had bolstered by their best 21's and we could have put out an appropriate squad (18's replacing some 21's at Bath) you get a decent game for some still as you could still play the likes of Bell, Tanner etc in that and then give the other players missing out a tough match equivalent work out.

I am surprised that many on here are seeing Tanner as mainly being a squad player this coming season. I know many see McCrorie starting as right back Tanner looks up for it to me.
