I see ex-academy man Ryan Nyambe is still without a club. What's going on there? Surely someone wants him.

He is overweight unfit and nowhere near as good as he was at Ewood

[roversfan99]

How can you possibly know his current fitness levels?

You posted yesterday. The last post before yours in here was the day before. Doesn't matter now though.

Has he been playing football there?

The under 21's are at Reading tonight and the match preview specifies that Sigurdsson won't be playing and there is no mention of Ennis. Hopefully there will be a BCD match this week so they can get some game time as Tomasson said both would be back after the international break. 

I'm slightly worried though that they might not get be ready for Saturday.

[roversfan99]

Id be amazed if either were involved this weekend. Both were pictured in the training video from the other day but neither in actual full training and Tomasson said pre match before Plymouth that Sigurdsson wasnt ready to play any minutes yet, albeit that was before mentioning 3 or 4 days off after that game.

Wasn't the quote, They will be back after the internationals break. Nobody said when after the break.

Nyambe played 89 minutes for his Country V South Africa on Saturday

I would have thought any BCD match would have been played on Sunday. 

I wonder if Telalovic or a few other first team players like Markanday, Garrett, JRC, etc might be involve tonight?

From Saturday we've got 7 games in 22 days. We could do with them being ready sooner rather than later - even if they're not available for Saturday.

Got a feeling it will be the Cardiff cup match when we see Sigurdsson. Ennis possibly on the bench before then. 

Hope Telalovic gets some game time tonight for the U21s

Half-time 0-0, I can't see the line-up anywhere. Just seen the line-up, non of the players returning from injury, are featuring or even on the bench.

Nobody said which international break.

[Ossydave]

Updates from the official club pages are dire they really are, winning 2-1 with 10 mins or so to play, Reading are down to 10 men

[Tugayisgod]

11 minutes of injury time and still playing !

[bazza]

COYB

[Tugayisgod]

Finished 2-1 . Just the 14 minutes injury time played 😮😮

[rigger]

Won 1-2

[bluebruce]

Behind closed doors friendly with Rochdale, we won 9-2. Not strictly the U21s but plenty of young players.

3 goals from Telalovic, 2 from Leonard, 1 each from Markanday ('top corner screamer'), Garrett, Zack Stritch and Nsangou.

60 minutes for Telalovic and James Hill. 30 minutes for Sigurdsson, 45 minutes for JRC.
