Ex Royals (No not prince Andrew)

Absolute banger from Barrett

[AthleticoSpizz]

Not too sure of his fitness and pitchside credentials these days, but he has scored a fair few for the Shots this season

He looks your archetypal Sunday League footballer but he lasted the full 90 minutes and is certainly passionate. Better then the other ex-Reading players on show

Lovely stuff

Frimmers take a bow

[WestYorksRoyal]

Weaker foot too. But he's a professional footballer with a Dadbod. Just imagine what he could achieve if he really applied himself.

[Crusader Royal]

Tyler Frost, Josh Barrett and Dejan Tetek all start at Wembley for Aldershot in the FA Trophy

am assuming that James Henry features somewhere too?

Yes, he started too. It's just because I've watched more of the three above that I missed him being ex-Reading

By far the most successful, talented and well known of them though !

I watched a match between Aldershot and Oxford City last season as I was interested in watching him and Dejan - Dejan was largely anoymous and Barrett only came on towards end of 2nd half and tried too hard and even his own fans were laughing at him. But these season it looks like it has really clicked for him.

[JedMaxwell]

I always thought Barrett looked like he had bags of ability but not the application or discipline, so it seems he has found his level.

And it's a shame Tetek wasn't so good when you saw him. Every time he played I was impressed but he got done in by injuries.

Know a guy who was in a Championship Academy.

His experience was it was jam packed full of people with mind blowing talent and skills, but they generally weren’t the ones who made it. It was the solidly good dedicated steady eddies who kept things simple and just repeated and recycled the coached patterns of play that got places.

Sounds about right. I'm sure there's loads of youngsters who have amazing YouTube highlights reels but are a nightmare to play with for 90 minutes.

Yep, and the smart managers and coaches recognise that attitude and application are as important as skill, maybe more so.

As my first witness, I call Royston Drenthe to the stand ...

[Brogue]

Selles sacked

Selles sacked

Be interesting to see where he goes next, basically a success at both clubs, but with some reservations.

[Hound]

Shame for him. Suspect he’ll end up back in div1 fairly soon

[WestYorksRoyal]

We'll see Hull and Watford in L1 soon. Basket cases the pair of them.

Selles sacked

Later today it will become official, him and all his Reading entourage. Hope the owner can find someone to finish the job - I’d recommend Paul Ince…..

Hull deserve everything they having coming to them with the mad sacking of Rosienior

Sign a two and a half year contract, work six months of it and achieve all your aims, get the rest of your contract paid off and you're now a free agent.

Nice work if you can get it!

No wonder football's finances are completely fcuked.

Yep its crazy and his bank account will look much healthier than before he took the job.

During his time at Hull, he had them 12th in the form table and kept them up albeit helped by a Luton implosion.

His stock will be high and he'll find another job although, IMHO, it may not be in England.

[Sutekh]

Strong Reading connection at RC de Strasbourg it seems. Liam Rosenior as manager and Kalifa Cissé is first team coach and Liam’s interpreter!

Fully expecting Rosenior as a future/next Chelsea manager if his star keeps rising (could be managing in the CL next season). No wonder many Hull fans think their owner is a **** and should go.
