Right here. Was trying to remember who the Reading supporter was on the forum. Didn't get to the game today as been out on the golf course this afternoon but followed the updates on the Col U twitter feed. Seems as though the result was fair enough but would've preferred you to have won in 90 minutes rather than extra time.

EDIT - We went 115 minutes without conceding against a decent Championship team. And we had 5 of our former academy players on the pitch. Starting to put together a good young team as long as our chairman doesn't decide to start selling them.

We are decent until we get near the penalty box. As toothless as Albert Steptoe up front, though we have hit the woodwork four times in two games, and missed a penalty.

Good news is we are not playing until Sunday, so plenty of time to recover from the extra time. Would be nice to get a home tie next round.

Good luck for the rest of the season. Have a bit of a soft spot for CU, as one of our greatest players, Phil Parkinson went there as manager.
 
Boro sign David Nugent. Stuani's registration got sorted mid-week. Two cracking strikers at that level. An excellent midfield, leaving a question mark over Stewart Downing's ability to get a game. Great cover a fullbacks but maybe missing one decent central defender. Maybe lacking in a decent second keeper.

So who's playing for second behind the mighty Boro!

What's happening with Rhodes? We really will be fighting for 2nd if that happens.
 
Boro 3 - 0 Bolton. 3 up in the first 30 mins and cruising. Could so easily have been 5 or 6. Second half didn't live up to the first half performance, and Bolton came back into the game. A good all round display, with Downing and Fabbrini the best on the pitch. Tough match coming up at Derby on Tuesday, then back at home for Bristol City.

Not often you go to a mtach in the UK and come away sunburned!
 
Hobbit I think we are much better equipped this year in the final third of the field with the new additions of Downing, Fabrini, Stuani and Nugent. If we keep it tight at the back like last year then hopefully this could be our year (or maybe I shouldn't be saying things like that)

Best first half I've seen at the Riverside for years. We will torture teams if we're given that much room. Bolton didn't learn anything from Preston man marking Downing out of the game last week.

We're going up, we're going up, Boro's going up!!

Yep in the first half we showed what we can do if teams let us play. Still look solid at the back though. Fabbrini looks superb so far. Changed the game on Sunday when he came on and I thought he was outstanding today. Doesn't feel right feeling as positive as I do!
