There are a few other articles which also point to Reading having 'liquidity' problems.

Post by: Lipsy on October 07, 2013, 06:39:53 pm: I was thinking much the same. He played, didn't he? If only for a few minutes. But he currently has a sore groin, picked up whilst training.

Or I have stepped into a parallel universe?

He came on after 87 minutes, replacing Adam Le Fondre. He missed the game on Saturday due to a groin strain.

Hoping to get him fit ready for our game.

I think we can get something from the game, Reading may have quality but they aren't pulling up any trees atm
