    To be fair, Bell will be 3rd choice LB this season.

    The midfield needs to cover better when we attack down one side with both the full back and winger attacking. TC has put in a couple of excellent right wing crosses already.
    I think Koumetio has jumped Bell in the CB pecking order over pre season though

    Reading down our left, Grant gets penalised possibly a bit harshly. Reading free kick 2 stripes of grass out.
    Given up with yards Ali?
    Well I wouldn't want to mislead :)

    Wasn’t sure about TC on the right but probably been our best player so far

    Nah, I'm secure enough in my ego to deal with a little gentle ribbing. I'm not a bloke :)

    Sent a cracking cross in, Godden should be kicking himself not to be on the end of it.

    Godden and Bell look like they’ve lost a bit of legs over this summer

    Reading are playing well and giving us trouble.
    We are fits and starts.

    Our midfield is total dog shit
    Didn't take long...
    Well, can't you see it too
    I was thinking where was the midfield, only one showing was Grant. TC is having to play too deep,  as a right back.

    Both coming back from injury so probably a week or two behind everyone else fitness wise

    I think the new dugouts have played a blinder.

    IMO, If Jones is going to persist with this back four when the season starts, we’ll need some better players than Bell and Ramsey at left and right back. If Derby scouts are watching this 🤔

    Lisbie goes down our left but the lino reckons it had gone out for a throw.

    Reading down our right, great sliding tackle from Ramsay.

    fenaddick Posts: 21,117
    Ramsay had no option to pass inside there because the midfield was nowhere to be seen

    We cross into the Reading box but again no-one there.

    Knibbs has played himself into the starting line up this pre-season I think

    Decent left footed cross from TC but not enough red shirts in the box

    Reading look fitter and sharper. Their movement in front of the ball is better as well.

    Coincidentally I saw that today is exactly a year since he signed
