Embarrassing!

Morison talks a lot about preparation and game plans. I'd say he failed today.

As certain I was of a loss last weekend, I was that certain of a win today.

F**ked off

I'm honestly ok with the loss - even against a decapitated Reading side - but why did we throw the playing style out the window?

Reality strikes. We (including me) were over the top in our praise of last week's performance and now normal service has returned. Shame. The only consolation is that Nelson won't be playing next week (hopefully).

We just got worse and worse the longer the game went on. The Championship is a physical battle first and then you might get the chance to play a bit if you’re winning that. We won that battle last week and lost it this week - Reading wanted it more than us as well which is probably the most disappointing aspect of the afternoon.

We've moved on from the dire pragmatic football of recent years, shifted a load of [most of the] dead wood, and for that I'm grateful. Not being in a relegation scrap would be an achievement in itself.

Very disappointing today.
The bottom 3 makes for good reading though 😁

These early games rarely reflect the season long outcome. However one thing is obvious from the first two games is we aren't creating much in front of goal and we are seriously deficient in our striker options. When we bring Harris on, as an option it's goodnight.

I'm officially jumping off the Watters support train.

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

People got excited last week because we strung a few passes together - a skill other teams do without effort. Apart from a shot which found its way into the net, we didn’t offer a lot. Looks like it was much the same today.

Harris is brought on to play on the last defender, because he does have a bit of pace. Sadly for him and us, he struggles to take the ball with him, lacks composure and is basically thrown on to act as a pain in the arse, like a fly that wont **** off when you're eating a pasty.

Wrong. Today we didn't string a few passes together.
