Reading v Cardiff City, Sunday August 18th, ko 12 noon
Referee: ANDY DAVIES
Assistants: Timothy Wood and Daniel Leach
Fourth Official: Kevin Johnson
Andy Davies' first game in charge of Cardiff City was back in 2015 at Brentford when Alex Revell had his finest moment in a City shirt, scoring a stunning winner as City won 2 - 1 with nine men.
Other noticeable games under his charge are the famous Shane Duffy show at CCS when the then Blackburn player scored two own goals before getting sent off as City again won 2 - 1.
He was also in charge of Cardiff's 2 - 0 win at Hull which just about cemented promotion to the Premier League in 2018.
Last season he issued 124 yellow cards and 6 red in 37 games.

Looks like Ralls is a doubt for the match and Mendez-Laing probably won't be back either.
Wouldn't surprise me to see Hoilet comes in for Whyte or Murphy as Neil seems to prefer his defensive work away from home. Personally I'd like to see Vassell get a start out wide - with a pacey front three of Glatzel, Murphy and Vassell.
Pretty sure Hoilett will start. Ralls should be ok but it would be good to see what Vaulks has to offer.
Guess Warnock has to consider another match Wednesday night so he wont be taking chances with people.

Hope Bacuna has a good game at right back.
no space for bogle starting again. I'd love to see him come on and score. he deserves a chance
1 - 0 Reading. Puscas
That Puscas goal was the kind of goal you might expect Mendez to score.
