What’s this Nevers lad like? Seems to be getting some decent game time and making an impact

1st half we gave them a goal by pi$$ing about at the back and then proceeded to miss chance after chance. 2nd half we played a lot better and deserved the win over what i thought was a disappointing Albion team. Michael olise saw plenty of the ball but am not convinced he is going the right way at the moment. Interesting sub with about 15 mins to go saw Claudio Osorio introduced on the left up front. He is only 16 and i believe has played for England U16.

Did we have another Osario at the club not long ago or am I imagining that?

Thanks. This is the Cup competition that was in Woking last season. Venues and dates are yet to be announced according to https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2019/s ... announced/ so it may be back there this season (?)

Anyone know how good the other U23 teams in our group are?

Swansea are in our league Premier league 2 div 2 and both Charlton and Colchester are in the Professional development league(for teams not CAT 1) which is the league below premier league 2. We played Colchester in the same comp last season and they weren`t very good !!
