5Live have this as the commentary game today. Which means we'll get about 10 mins worth as they shuttle between the cricket/athletics/other footie.

That's the entire nation huddled around the wireless then

Up here there'll be a few huddled round open fires - ferking perishing.

Bogdan, Baptiste, Wheater, Knight, Tierney, Medo, Spearing, Pratley, Chung-Yong, Beckford, Ngog

Nothing like getting to the ground..........and realising you've forgotten your wallet

[Little Green Man]

Subs - Lonergan, Mears, Ream, C Davies, Moritz, Hall, Odelusi

[Hoboh]

Line up looks ok to me

[TANGODANCER]

Guess Eagles knock was a bit worse than thought. Shame, but our line up looks healthy and Hall and Odelusi plus Moritz on the bench. I'm liking it..

[CarlosHernandez]

Although it looks like Pratley out wide?

[TANGODANCER]

What I'd like today is a a clean sheet to show our defence are getting it together. Soft goals cost us a lot laSt season so I'm hoping we're going to sort that. Hopefully, a win by two goals.
COME ON YOU WHITES

I treated myself to a new pitchfork last week and I've just opened the first Stella of the day, GMR is on the wireless and I'm bricking it. #comeon

[TANGODANCER]

Atmosphere's apparently good as the players trot out. Tannoy sounds like something off a World War II submarine broadcasting underwater. Massive noise from the home lads..And away we go....

Reading make the early play but their long ball goes out for a goalkick. Guthrie figures well and early and sets an attack going. Kamara has to tackle well then, and Guthrie scythes N'Gog down and we get a free. And...Spearing takes and...cleared. Readong come quickly and Wheater clears.

Bricking should be reserved for the last 10 minutes!

[TANGODANCER]

Bit of head tennis and we clear and Knight guilty of being a bit sloppy. Now he clears again and Reading fire one in but we get a free kick. Throw us now and then a free kick to them. Long and cleared but they come back and get a corner. Offside flag takes the pressure off.
Bogdan leathers it but back it comes. Reading throw and they seem to be having a slight edge so far.

[TANGODANCER]

Free kick us for handball and then a break but N'gog takes too long to make it count. Reading clear then we collect it an d back it goes. Beckford "putting himself about a bit". Reading still trying to build and come again. Kamara breaks them up and sets us off and now we have a throw in their half. Chungy wins a throw ner their flag. Croiss........1-0..Pratley....

[Turkish Trotter]

Pratley !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord Kangana]

F*cking Pratley!

Getin you beauty. COYFWM.

[Annoyed Grunt]

Get in!!!

[Relentless09]

Well done Pratley !

[Montreal Wanderer]

BBC gave the goal to Ngog.

[Little Green Man]

BBC gave the goal to Ngog.

They didn't on the radio.

[TANGODANCER]

Reading having a go and Spearing avoids a penalty shout. Pratley and a Royals player have a bit of handbags as N'gog given the goal although everybody reckons it was Pratley's. Crowd get a bit noisy and Knight getting a good comment or two. Reading doing the attacking but we keep trying to counter. Pratley fires a cracker just over from 25 yds.
