Will Lawler be missing due to the groin injury picked up with Wales?

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Hopefully we get back on track after this international break.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Hunt is really struggling. We had a huge turnover of players in the summer and the squad just isn't gelling. I don't think it's a relegation squad. More mid table. Marriott and Ritchie have done well but our midfield has struggled and we have been very sloppy defensively.
We might come away with a draw but gut feeling 2-0 Cardiff.

Fair play for League One, been some decent away support so far this season. Few extra bob in the club’s coffers as well.

strange player, Marriott, always looked like he might make it at a higher level, but L1 / 2 looks like his level

He has looked very sharp for us. Wrexham.fans said the same before he got injured. Six goals in his last six games so he's doing well.

Do you think Vincent Tan has anything to do with the covers?
I think they look a bit daft, but not worth the level of upset that it seems to generate on here :hehe:
My youngest loves them, he likes identifying the player and what the original image is taken from.

As someone who works in print, and specifically looks after a client that prints programmes for around 15 Premier League and Championship clubs, then there is no way this one can be blamed on Tan. :hehe:
Without going into too much detail. the marketing bods at football clubs are a different level of delusional.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
I'm not bothered about these programme fronts either way but at least it gives people something else to moan about.
I mean you've got to get through your daily quota of moans when you get to a certain age.

Should be a 20k crowd, decent atmosphere.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Not sure about this game. Reading bit of a bogey team.
BBMs team selection will be interesting. Think Lawler will be rested if he still has a strain.
Trott
Kpakio
Osho
Fish
Bagan
Colwill R
Turnbull
Wintle
Ashford
Robinson
Willock
Wonder if Robertson makes bench?

Trumbull and Wintle in midfield doesn’t work in my opinion. I’d have Colwill in to start.

Let's hope we don't do a "Burton"

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Hopefully Chambers & Turnbull are more arsed than they were against Newport...
Ashford back on the bench

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Chambers. Pray for Hartley.🙏

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Pereira out injured is a huge blow. He is our first choice keeper by a long way. Very pessimistic so 3-0 Cardiff.

I would settle for that.:thumbup:

Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Why is Chambers playing instead of Fish?
-
Re: CARDIFF CITY v READING. Match thread
Chambers and Osho as the CB's. Please prove me wrong. And is that Turnbull playing CDM?
Nice to see Kellyman getting a start though.

Trott; Kpakio, Osho, Chambers (c), Bagan; Turnbull, J. Colwill, R. Colwill; Kellyman, Salech, Willock.
