Shame, T. Chalobah?

Or even send Ampadu there to get 45+ apps before coming back and replacing David Luiz.

That Carabao logo is just as ugly on Reading's kit as it is on our training kit 

I never noticed it until you posted it xD - I was too busy looking at the build up, the Mason goal & the celebration xD

Chalobah and at Ipswich, James is at Wigan..

Derby hammered Hull last night 0-4. Who was on the scoresheet? Of course, Mount. 

 

Move over RLC, the SFL second coming has arrived. At least that’s what @RIP Mourinho has told me. 

No comment. I don't want to get banned off here. 

 

Ill put this out there.

Mason is between 80 and 100/1 (depending on the bookie) to be Championship top scorer, he's scored 4 (two in the cup admittedly) and came close a further 5 ish times. I don't usually bet but this is defiantly worth a cheeky tenner.

A nice read here about the rise of Mason Mount. He is such an exciting player, really hopes he makes it to our first team at some point:

Didn’t know he was from Portsmouth, that explains why he’s going to be a world beater 

Another MOM performance from Mason today, this time for the England u21's. Also got himself on the score sheet (along with Tammy who he provided the assist for).

Scored again today lovely looking free kick

Be interesting to see him against Man Utd on Tues. 

Needs to learn to impose himself on the game a bit more. Seems to go hiding a little.

Massive talent and I think Lamps will make him into a top player.

thought he was brilliant tonight, Tomori as well. 

Looks a talent for sure he would fit in our midfield nicely  if he gets the chance 

Edited September 26, 20187 yr by Cone

If he keeps up the good performances this season, can see him leap-frogging RLC.

Becoming better and better.

Shoutout to Tomori as well, very talented defender.

What are your thoughts on potentially giving Derby permission to play Mount (and Tomori) against us in the Carabao Cup? I know it strengthens Derby significantly, but I'd be inclined to let them both play.

I'd let them play tbh, good experience for them and if we can't beat a full strength Derby should we really be going that much further in this competition?

Yeah I agree. Plus, it gives us a chance to have a real good look at them both against top quality premier league opposition.

When we played against Atletico and they applied for a permission to play Courtois I was against. 

But in this game, I wouldn't mind seeing them both playing. Good experience for them, they're needed for Debry. 

Yeah, let them play. If we lose to a Derby side, even with a couple of our players playing for them, we deserve to be out.

 

No use denying the lads another chance at a big game.

Mason has just been called up to Gareth Southgate's England squad!

Good on him

Have just read that we've denied Derby's request to field Mount and Tomori against us in the Carabao Cup. I feel disappointed for them both, it'd have been great experience for them.
