Brilliant.

One in the eye for people like you anyway.

Its absolutely outrageous a 20 year old isn't the finished product!

Love big phil, love his tights and shin pads the size of postage stamps. If he gets that break I think he'll be a premier league regular. I'd say he's got more out of this season from us, than we have from him if you know what i mean. Will follow with a keen eye.

Is he actually only 20? Christ assumed he was way older

He was infuriating as he seemed to be auditioning for some soul night rather than doing his job of attacking his man. He’s talented but he must learn to make the right decisions.

Auditioning for some soul night

Some very unfair comments about Philogene in this thread earlier. I enjoyed watching him, type of player to get you out of your seat on times, one little run with a nutmeg as well was lovely. OK, his final ball wasn’t the best but I thought he gave their defence a torrid time.

I've been critical of him over the last few months.
Someone said that he was a street footballer and I kind of agreed with that.

He looked a bit more responsible tonight and I thought he played well, especially when he cut back instead of crossing sending the Reading defender to next week before putting in a decent ball.

I hope that he continues to play like he did this evening....mainly sensible with the odd bit of magic.

It was me that said he was awful and I can’t for the life of me see him making it as a top level professional footballer.

Whether he does or he doesn't, he was tremendous tonight.
What game were you watching when you described the players as worse than park players?

I think you have got a good manager in. May well prove to be a shrewd move.

Joe Ralls has played under 12 managers at Cardiff, astonishing. You roll the dice so many times eventually they’ll get one right

I’m reasonably confident we’ve got a good one now. Hope he fancies the challenge of doing it all again next season

Ends this summer we hope. We haven’t paid a transfer fee for about three years.

You've done well to have stayed up last season and to be where you are this season considering that, even if you're slipping a bit now.

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 READING. Match thread

Apparently, Villa are looking to sell him in the summer because he only has a year left on his contract.

Thought he did a perfect wing back’s job tonight because he was able to play like a winger most of the game while his team kept a clean sheet.

I hope his next move is the right one. Be interesting to see what Villa's valuation of him is (out of our league, embargo or not i'd say).

Yeah I’m sure a Cardiff fan is gutted his team won

Agreed - thought he had a decent game. Just because he's someone else's development player, doesn't mean we should expect him to be the finished article. As a fan base we're very supportive of Colwill and Davies for example when they might make a decision where there were maybe better options. Philogene is either going to do something mental or amazing, which I quite like providing it's further up the pitch!

Last night was the best we've played since I can't remember this season - solid and purposeful. I think Wickham, if we can get him fit, might be a handy signing.

I wouldn't mind Alnwick getting a run to keep Allsop on his toes - there isn't much between them from what I can tell, but it's counterproductive to drop a goalkeeper after keeping two clean sheets. It will be interesting to see how that might develop.

Delighted with the week we've had.

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 READING. Match thread

we have all had a torrid time, i was quite down and emotional last week, lots going on and the footy just cremed the top off...

what a wonderful feeling this winning malarky is, id forgotten what it felt like

we can win lose or draw next, what counts for now is we have all been asking for this and it arrived

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 READING. Match thread

Ince "nothing between the 2 sides" and blaming the non red card.🤣🤣🤣 Daft tw@t we could have been 3 up at that point.

the stats say very different..we were all over them

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 READING. Match thread

We beat them with 10 men at the end anyway. Robinson was a complete passenger.

Its a big credit to them to keep attacking and dominating Reading and get the winner after Robinsons injury.
