Some great results here which gave me hope for the future, tried to sign two players in the reading team and they both punished me me in that friendly. Against the Sheffield United first team we play unbelievable, they had the likes of Billy Sharp, James Beatie and Micheal Tonge and we still managed to draw and to be honest... win, even though we had 10 men after 55 min cos Connor Smith was sent off.

Transfers



Another eventful summer and I have gotten some quality players to replace the loan quality last season. Maxime Chanot rejoins on loan aswell as recently signed striker Sam Vokes from Sheffield Wednesday. The other two loans provide cover for the first team. 19 year old GK Joe Sagar and 36 year old GK Lee Harper both join on frees to go in net, both back ups to the first team ensuring healthy competition for the No1 shirt. Nearly all players signed have Good L2/Leading L1 potential and hot prospect Jason Howes is a striker who will become one of the L1 superstars of the future and possibly Onani Lowe's replacement following his retirment in a few seasons. I have a feeling we may be in for another positive season. My only worry is that we have a smaller squad than last year and we are in 2 more competitions so we have less players to cope with more matches, afraid we might crumble at the wrong time.
