I noticed Wycombe scored their goals after he went off, hopefully not an indication of anything. And Lucas Jutkiewicz I see still playing and at Birmingham, we had high hopes for him once.

Lucas has done well down the leagues. Did well at Coventry I think to get the move to Birmingham and he's consistently scored for them.
Always worth a punt. Even it takes 10 Lukes to find the 1 DCL we'll always come out if it well.

Didn't Virginia go to Reading and sit on the bench and all? We should swerve sending anyone there in future, the bad bums.
Hopefully we can recall Gibbo in Jan and send him somewhere else.

Speaking of which, an interesting article on the beeb site about Benfica's academy. Some things I hope we're doing already, and some things we can take/learn from as well I'm sure.

Virginia started off playing but made a series of errors leading to him being dropped and eventually coming back to the club.

Thanks for sharing that article. The portuguese have to be one of the best at bringing young players through. Benfica and Sporting are churning them out every seasonSpeaking of which, an interesting article on the beeb site about Benfica's academy.

Indeed, maybe getting a Dutch Director of Football , trusting him as he makes changes to the Academy set up and giving him time would be a good start.

Sounds like he’s ready to take Pickford’s place!!
Championship
Reading - Lewis Gibson played full match in 0-3 home defeat to Stoke City
OS Match Report
"Gibson could have halved the deficit soon after, but his header couldn't carry enough punch to trouble Gunn."
"And with the last kick of the game, Stoke added a third when Brown pounced on a mistake from Gibson at the back to race clear and pass the ball into an empty net for 3-0."
Twitter stuff
38' Great chance to get back into it as a free-kick from wide on the right comes all the way through to @LewisGippa3
on the far side, but he can't quite make a true contact and Gunn scoops up.
Fan comments
"I didn't think Gibson did too badly-one big error when the game was over and hopefully he doesn't join the walking wounded after crashing into the post in an attempt to make up for his error."
"...individual errors are killing us. Thought Gibson did well until then."
"Thought he looked pretty good until then"

57' Callum Connolly is booked following his reaction to George Honeyman.
59' Hull play through Fleetwood's press as the ball found Elder but his cross is dealt with from Connolly.
Dennis Adeniran was an unused sub for Wycombe Wanderers.
