Played really well second half. Want to see more of this. Hopefully Morrison will scrap the 3 at the back going forward

This result and overall performance puts all the hysteria about last weeks game into perspective. No doubt all those people who were never going to a City game again will now be on the phone or online buying tickets for next week. I am particularly happy for Will
Vaulks who has taken merciless stick on here for months and accused of being a donkey amongst other things but there is definitely a footballer in there and I hope he stays next season.

Last week doesn’t deserve perspective. I doubt the non season ticket holders who witnessed that surrender last week will be beating down the ticket office door because of a win at Reading

So much better in the second half, actually did something with the possession. Was worried that Ng and Bagan wouldn't be able to handle a ariel bombardment but they never really got tested. Good to see Morrison changing it up at half time as well.

Ralls the only out of contract player in the starting eleven. Disappointed that Morison doesn’t seem to rate Ratcliffe who seems to be on his way out. I do like Bagan at centre back though if that is the plan. Have Doyle and Colwill been starters in the same game before? I assume they have, but I can’t think of when it was.

Smithies is done for the season apparently.

Ratcliffe also with a knock, which is why Luthra was on the bench.

Agree. There is no way the 3 at the back should be going forward, that's madness.

How much should we pay him?

No complaints whatsoever from me today, even in the first half I liked what we were trying to do and we were very good after the interval. However, watching us play with that level of effort and intensity does rather beg the question, where was that last week? We played as if the big derby was this week and the meaningless, for us, end of season game was last week.

:haha: I just thought it was an unfortunate typo so I said so

I understood that. Well done for saying so.

I just thought it was a weird choice, considering the reaction it may get. Seems a bit of a weird thing to say, it was a typo a lot of them get pointed out but personally if someone else with a teenage daughter had made it and I'd seen it I'd probably just leave it where it was tbh.

Oh well we move on.

Not sure why he made me nervous trying to pay the ball out from the back.

Re: FT: READING 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

First half we were the better side. We pressed well. Swift should have buried his chance. Second half Cardiff dominated without creating much. However there was a clear foul on Joao who was pulled all over the place prior to the ball being putting through for the equaliser. Thereafter there was only going to be one winner and it was a well worked goal.
We got what we deserved for a pathetic second half where our midfield was nowhere to be seen. You knocked the ball around pretty well.

We have some very tough games coming up and with Swift now out injured it’s looking squeaky again.

He's not good with the ball at his feet.

He would be disappointed with the goal he conceded apart from that he was solid enough. What I like about him is he's not afraid to come off his line and try and dominate the box. He's also a bit quicker with his distribution.

I thought how odd you have everything the opposite to how I seen it, then realised your a reading fan lol

I can’t see Barnsley or Derby catching you now.

I was shocked Paul Ince was in the dug out, I did know he was your manager but forgot. How’s he doing? Seems such a random appointment.
