Hubner hasn't played for the u21s for ages, I did hear / read a rumour that one of the u21s wouldn't sign a new contract so they stopped playing him.

This is particularly poor from the U21's.

Slow, ponderous on the ball and lacking any sort of quality.

They look shite today.

0-1 down now after being dispossessed playing it around at the back.

You can tell some of the Reading players have played senior football.

Far crisper with their decisions and physical in the press/ tackle.

Yep, they've also got Scott Dann playing

Best CB to ever play IMO (because he made Roger Johnson look competent once upon a time).

One to keep an eye on for the future

Its his agent we should have had our eye on and banned him from leaving the room or taking any calls....

I think I'm missing some context here. Did we try to get Dann and accepted RoJo instead?

We had him as good as signed, medical done etc. Then Blues offered him more money and he buggered off there. Johnson was a couple of years later

In current terms he was at the Fabrizio "HERE WE GO" stage. He was in the Stadium waiting for the contract to come off the printer...

Also to a man everyone wanted Johnson over Dann in 2011 when Blues got relegated...

Defending optional from the kids there

Johnson was just weird, we'd seen him play for Cardiff, we'd seen him play for Blues, he looked exactly what we needed. Excellent first three games too. Then adopted the physique of Renton from Trainspotting with the football skills of Spud.

The Doumbia Effect™.

(I know Doumbia was a season after Johnson).

Not sure where you're information is from but afaik it wasn't that reason.

There were several clubs in for Dann, we were just one of them.

I know for a cast iron fact Palace offered him more money than us.
