we signed a lot of young lads over the summer so it will be good to get a look at them
maybe spearing and lindfield from the fa youth team might get a game as well

Personally I would like to see the new reserve keeper, Jay Spearing , Jack Hobbs and Leto&Leva make appearances in this game.
I know that the squad is big enough to play a first class team in this game but appearances and blooding of the aforementioned players are vital.

Unsure how rafa will approach this competition, but hopefully we will see a mixture of squad and youth playing away to Reading.

Will be at the game courtsey of the Reading Sponsors :)

I think he will use the fringe players, and that Reading will as usual play their youths...i hope...
