Former Brighton, Yeovil and Bristol Rovers defender Adam Virgo has admitted the decision to retire from football was 'taken out of his hands'.
Reading defender Chris Gunter, meanwhile, told the show he and his team-mates have quickly settled back into Championship life following their relegation from the Premier League last season. "It's gone quite well so far,"he said. "When a team gets relegated everybody is looking to see how you start the season and I think people ask 'is there a hangover from the relegation'? "We've been really good at home and we've settled back into it quite well. A lot of the squad know the league and have played in it before which I think is a big factor." Gunter acknowledges the expectations of Reading outside of the club but insists nobody within it has taken the Championship lightly. He said: "When Nigel Adkins come in towards the back end of last season we had a couple of good months with him and we ended quite well in the Premier League so people in the summer were saying we'd go straight back up. "But from playing in the league before, which the majority of the squad have, we know how tough the league is." "You can't think you're one of the better teams because you're capable of going into any game and getting picked off. We've settled in quite well and we're going along quite nicely. Also on this week's show are on-loan QPR midfielder Shaun Derry, Preston striker Kevin Davies, Bradford defender Andrew Davies and Plymouth defender Guy Branston.
