Im hoping he comes back in 12 months and slots into the squad as a rotation/back up option.

Virginia getting a lot of abuse on the Reading forum. They were hammered today and fans not happy at all with his performance. Hope he settles soon and keeps his spot. Huge step up!
I was travelling down to London today and heard something on the radio about Virginia but couldn't make out what they were going on about.
Hopefully he will have a strong head on his shoulders and take any crap that comes his way and be the better for it. Massive step up u23 to Championship and if you don't hit the ground running you'll be dropped sharpish

Reading - Joao Virginia played full match in 1-3 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday
OS Match Report
"Steven Fletcher provided an early test of João Virgínia's shot-stopping as he unleashed a low drive from the edge of the area - with our loanee goalkeeper equal to it, holding on as he dived to his left."
"...with the pacey Kadeem Harris able to steal possession and drive into the box. He struck low, with Virgínia getting his body in the way to block."
"After a ball out to the left, Harris managed to get in behind an off-balance Moore and slot past Virgínia to give Wednesday the advantage."
"A quick break saw Wednesday win a corner, before the ball was delivered and Sam Hutchinson rose highest, giving Virgínia little hope of saving in front of a packed South Stand."

17' Chance for @swfc A counter-attack on the left supported with a tricky run side-to-side gives @1JoaoVirginia something to think about. Well-saved, covering his corner
Fan comments
"Virginia wouldn’t even get into our U23s."
"That Keeper is absolutely shocking."
"First goal was Rino giving the ball away and their left winger getting the ball with no one inside 20 yards of him. Second, sloppy in midfield and they break, Miazga clears off the line for a corner, and they score a free header Virginia flaps at as it bullets past him. Third goal, long ball to big guy up top, turns Miazga and slots in the corner where everyone could see he was going to go half an hour before Virginia got nowhere near it."
"blaming the keeper for an absolute [Poor language removed] show from the entire team is just wrong."
Early season wobbles here as well. Pressed publish too early - rest will be coming!!

88' - Good work from Bowler. The winger dances around two defenders before accelerating down the wing. He is hacked down and the Swansea man is subsequently booked. (2-1)

"When Bowler came on it changed instantly, a lad with energy to defend and some basic nous shut down Dyer and he was quickly hooked."

I read "besser als Tony Hibbert" on one Schalke forum. Can anyone translate?
I think they were comparing the size of fish caught...
