Warnock is too old an hand to take any match 'lightly', especially this one with the promise of Premiership football depending on the outcome, result. Win and we're in the Premiership. Lose and it's the lottery of the play offs. Simple as that.
Can't help but feel that if the Bluebirds start the match and end the match on the attack whilst always remaining strong at the back then they will be victorious and achieve Premiership status. Success to the Bluebirds.
It's on sky, so even if you don't have the sports package you'll find a stream for it :thumbup:
Get well soon.

Reading have already given up, i see a comfortable 3-0 Cardiff win, ulu can’t make a case for reading, you could hull city, they have no fight in them, and you need that against Cardiff, like Ipswich, they will roll over. They can’t go down realisticly 66-1 tell you that

This is what I'm expecting. An early goal from Fulham and our fans get very nervy thanks to Reading trying to play for nil-nil.

Don’t worry you will win easily

I’m convinced Reading need nothing from their final game and it would be nice if that was confirmed with almost a quarter of our match to spare.
Call it skullduggery, but if it’s good enough for Derby... :thumbup:
Let's see if we can rent Derby's snow-machine!

Let's hope the away lot from hull Saturday take over and no nervous feelings from the fans come across to the players.
Let's just go out and enjoy the day and sing for 90 minutes, show the players we appreciate their efforts all season long, no matter the result. Clap, sing, just make noise.

Re: So, How do we beat Reading
With a £10m bonus riding on the Reading result the players are more nervous than anyone which could well affect their play. Reading will not be a pushover. If we were to play them at any other time we would win easily but with so much riding on the match the outcome is by no means a certainty.

We need to win simple as that and Reading need the draw. I feel they will time waste from the first second so we need to go at them straight away.
Reading have some decent wingers. Both Aluko and Barrow will be able to cause us problems. As they’re quite quick I wouldn’t be surprised to see Manga benched again.
Chris Martin will be a handful if there’s only a 1 goal deficit.
We need to dominate the midfield. Their full backs seem exploitable.
My team
Etheridge
Pelts-Bamba-Morrison-Bennett
Patterson-Grujic (assuming Gunnar injured)
NML-Ralls-Hoilett
Zohore

Is the answer, to score one more goal than they do? :shrug:

I wish we could've played our last game of the season during that eight-game winning streak.

I think the bonus pot could act as a significant encouragement for the players to put on a show and comfortably do the business on Sunday afternoon.

Re: So, How do we beat Reading
Is this bonus confirmed? Or just hot air?

It was in all the newspapers in February. I presume it's true.

With Grujic in the team although he’s a good player he can’t play the 90 minutes as he’s a loose cannon and is usually booked in the first half and then gets away with further fouls until he’s hooked

Re: So, How do we beat Reading
I think the key to beating Reading is that we won't have a game for a full week. Rest up, trust in Warnock and let's have 95 mins of intensity, the kind that Reading won't be able to live with. :ayatollah:

Didn't we beat Reading 3-0 at home once, when we were already down and they needed a point? Or was it Bristol Rovers?
I remember us beating Rovers last game of the season, not sure of the score. They had been top but fell away and missed out on play-offs due to that defeat. Think Holloway was manager then?

Re: So, How do we beat Reading
Looking through readings results there seem to have been quite a high number of games where someone has been sent off. I think 8 in total. 4 for the opposition and 4 for them. Not sure whether there's something about the way they play that would encourage this?

But that is like saying, 'I wish the season was only 5 games long as then we would have been promoted'!

May 2000. 1-0 win at home to deny them a playoff place even though we'd already been relegated. Can't think for the life of me who scored.

A few positives even if we go bottle it
Less Sunday kick offs
More games to attend with season ticket
Easy points against Bristol
..and Dirty Leeds

Yeah, that was it. Somehow in my mind that had turned into a 3-0 win against reading. God my memory is shite. And I’m always sober at football matches so can’t even blame the booze

Re: So, How do we beat Reading
Go out and play to our strengths and take our chances if we don’t win then we gave our best ...no regrets!!
