Different class tonight, Reading didn't have the benefit of a Hojpoj or a Targett that ran the show. Plenty to admire, Marcus Barnes seems to have grown a few inches, looks a bit raw and leggy, but I am sure can be coached in to being a very good player. Tyreke on the other hand seems to have shrunk, but is a handful that the Reading defence had no answer for. Nice to see big Mac back and keeping a clean sheet. No complaints it was a nice way to spend an evening and the price was right.

I was impressed with Slattery from the parts I saw tonight. Very good range of passing on display. Obviously I hope we do sign an attacking midfielder before the window shuts, but wouldn't be surprised to see this lad get on the bench for the Wolves game
 
Always thought the lad would make it into the first team. Seemed useful not sure why Keenan couldn't see that.
 
So we have three young Nigerian strikers (19, 18 and 17 I think) all scoring .

One at Yeovil and the others in each of the youth teams.

Might we actually have some attackers come through the academy set up for the first time in a while?

Are they Nigerian born or British born, with Nigerian parentage?
I've heard Olomola speak and sounds like a London lad.

Despite three goals today...

Seager yet to get off the mark, but helped MK to a 1-0 win.
