    First visit of Kyreece Lisbie to his dad's former stomping ground i believe.
    Bell is struggling against him at the moment

    Bell cannot play left back in a 4 in the Championship, he'll get annihilated.

    Also sorry if it's been mentioned but this must be the closest 2 games where we've played against the same player on different teams, Lisbie came off the bench for Colchester on Tuesday didn't he?

    Reading down our right, go back to Wing, shoots from distance but it's wide.

    Neither of our midfielders can receive the ball with pressure, who said Chalobah is no better than these lot lol

    Midfield is looking a bit lightweight so far.

    Not this one... He joined Reading back in June - Kaion Lisbie at Colchester is their younger Brother

    Come on Charlton, I know It's a friendly, but we don't have to be too friendly, Reading controlling the first 15 minutes...

    Campbell down the right, cross into the box evades everyone, Grant collects over on the left.

    Good persistence from Knibs by the corner flag there.

    Erk, ball given away in midfield, over to our left but Kaminski collects the cross.

    Cross into the Reading box deflected, they try to counter but Ramsay does well to get back and make the tackle.

    Not a fan of Bell as a LB

    Cov / Doc - we can’t start the championship with both in our midfield. Chabolah is better than both based on just 45 mins so far. 

    Other than that, pitch looks superb and away dugout has been moved alot closer to the half way line

    Reading down our left, Grant gets penalised possibly a bit harshly. Reading free kick 2 stripes of grass out.

    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.

    Reading down our left, Lisbie cuts inside but the ball's cleared
