Being an 8:00 KO is this on the box tomorrow?

No, for some reason Reading always kick off at 8.00 at home.

(When they are playing in midweek, before some smartar*e points out they often kick off at 3pm on a Saturday.)

I believe clubs can choose their preferred midweek kick-off time, with the options being 7.45pm or 8pm. Most choose the former but Reading are among a handful of predominately Southern clubs to opt for 8.

I see Bruce is changing his ways and planning a different side tomorrow night..... Not.
O'Hare is starting tonight for the under 23's as is Davis

O'Hare should at least be on the bench for tomorrow.

No RHM tonight though so he could be in the frame tomorrow

I bet you he won't even be on the bench. Attrition will be the order of the day tomorrow.

Surprised O'Hare starting tonight

Would def have RHM in squad

Think pace on break could be important

What a ridiculous request. Can't you try and scale down your high hopes?

Can we not go to next season pre-season and skip everything else?

At least 2-0 to them, possibly more if they run at our pedestrian defence.
