Didn't relise how nice it was. I got to go there today, meet all the players and had lunch with them. Saw the line up for tomorrow but can't remember all of it. Anyway, as well as having a solid first team squad, I was impressed with your younger players. You have alot of good young players coming through. A few in perticular caught my eye, a Bulgarian forward. Looks like your going up this season and you have some good players coming through. The future looks bright for Reading.

P.S Doyle promised a hat-trick tomorrow

Never been to the training ground, but it always looks good on the website.

I think Radoslav Vasilev, 18 year old striker signed last year. I've never seen or heard much of him, BUT all our youth players coming through seem class. This years been a big year for them, with the likes of Karacan, Henry and Illugason making their first team debuts in cup or league matches.

Also young players that haven't just come from our academy, like Kelly making an impact, and players like Simon Church (who made waves playing for the Welsh U-21s) and Alex Pearce who we have out on loan at other clubs.

Two of our players, Lita and Pearce, have even scored in the Championship for other teams! Not bad for a team who had a problem scoring goals last season.

All of our academy players are fantastic prospects, I'd even go as far as saying we have the best academy in the championship if not the whole of England! (excluding the top 4 because they buy their academies instead of training from raw talent).

Doyle for a hat-trick tomorrow!

Our academy must be better than yours because they just beat your first team smiley
