The away dug out looks to have been moved, so it now is the same distance from the halfway line as the home one.

Pitch looks amazing

Thanks for that.

Good to go. Shame the Reading players aren't

2.20 KO, and we kick off in the right direction

aliwibble

We kick off

aliwibble

TC puts a ball into the box from the right, but his cross whizzes past everyone.

ForeverAddickted

Godden should have buried that... Get rid!!

Godden a bit slow for that TC cross

fenaddick

That charge across the pitch to close down from TC was rapid

aliwibble

Oof, Kaminski has to charge out of his box to beat Lisbie to the ball

Croydon

Lisbie bottled that challenge with kaminski. Could have had that i think

aliwibble

We have a free kick about 10 yards outside the Reading box

Hope you don't get paid to measure things, it's about 3 yards out max!

aliwibble

Free kick looked like it was going out for a goal kick but instead gets cleared up the line by a Reading player

aliwibble

Nice work from Grant to switch the ball to Campbell up on the right but we can't make the most of the ball into the box.

golfaddick

Don't like Campbell on the right. 

fenaddick

TC getting loads of space on the right, would like to see him use his left foot a bit more

ForeverAddickted

Lovely bit of movement from Grant to find the space, and then find Campbell... Poor ball from TC though... Get rid!!

aliwibble

Reading up our left but Bell stops the ball into the box, Reading get possession back though.

aliwibble

Reading down our left again, ball across, Jones gets a block in, Ramsay tries to play back to Kaminski , but it's out for a corner.

ForeverAddickted

Sloppy at the back, Reading should have been ahead but for a good block from Jones

eastterrace6168

Reading look tidy...

aliwibble

Grant heads the corner away, we get out a bit, bit it's out for a Reading throw by our dugout.

There's a sexist joke about being told what 6 inches looks like but I won't make it

swords_alive

First visit of Kyreece Lisbie to his dad's former stomping ground i believe.

aliwibble

Reading down our left, Lisbie cross, but the  shot goes wide.

fenaddick

Bell not having his best game so far

eastterrace6168

Can see Lisbie getting on the scoresheet, he looks sharp...
