Match Thread Reading vs. Everton - Tuesday 22nd Sept - Capital One Cup Third Round - 20:00 KO

[jackyboy]

Just realised their centre back pairing is likely to be Paul McShane & Anton Ferdinand. We should smash these into next week. So gotta be a Reading win.

Never bet on Everton, especially against lower league opponents.

On paper, our second string could knock 6 past these... This is Everton, mind!

I'm guessing this isn't being shown on tv anywhere in the world and we're all gonna be stuck with radio coverage ?

Pouring down in the south east this morning, but forecast to be clear this evening. Safe travelling to all Blues!

Third round?? Feels like last game should have got us to Wembley it was so emotional. Wondering how seriously even championship teams take this competition nowadays. Even when domestic cups mattered this one didn't heat up till the semis.
Seeing how we are all selecting a reserve side in our heads is it time we had a tournament that replaced the old reserve leagues instead of this?
I am looking forward to seeing our new goal poacher. Can't remember a manager bigging a player up so much without giving any evidence for his excitement. The one thing I'm not expecting is that he'll just be pretty decent.
Gonna stroll this anyway.

"Reading manager Steve Clarke says he will make "significant changes" to his starting XI for the visit of Everton."

The Reading B-Team awaits. Surely can't foul this one up???

Unless he's been holding his first team back for this one

Reading manager Steve Clarke believes that Tuesday evening’s Capital One Cup third round tie will be an opportunity to showcase the strength in depth that the Royals’ squad has, and allow some of the lesser-used players to stake a claim for a regular spot in the side.

Definitely looks like the B-team

Yes, tiping it down. Hopefully it does clear up, otherwise I can see it getting pulled. On a positive note, it's good to see the southerners struggling in the rain, they're not used to a northern summer

Our allocation (4,000) has sold out so looking forward to a great atmosphere.

So, pubs in Reading before the game - anybody know any?

Any suggestions for parking near the stadium? By all accounts a bit of a nightmare

Don't know how up to date this info is but found this: http://www.royals.org/awayfans.html

Reading have made a good start to the season. They are away to Burnley on Saturday - so may be saving some players for that. Burnley drew 0-0 at Derby last night.
