Reading Football Club

Despite suffering a narrow 1-0 defeat at Kenilworth Road, it remained a weekend to remember for many as the Royals fielded a squad brimming with Academy graduates.

Amongst the squad, there were first starts for Jeriel Dorsett and recent arrival, Jayden Onen, and senior debuts for Olly Pendlebury, Mamadi Camara and Connor Lawless.

Having produced a determined display, our youngsters rightly received plenty of plaudits from supporters across social media, while reaffirming that the future is bright.

This is our social round-up from our Emirates FA Cup Third Round visit to Luton Town.

Disappointed is an understatement, but I’m not one to crumble, especially when I know what I’m capable of. “Rise up when you fall, be a beast & stay true to your vision” 💔🙏🏾🦁 pic.twitter.com/0PJOFG81nZ
