FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 READING. Match thread

[goats]

I think it's the rough and tumble style of the division. Salech, like Ashford, is one of those players who probably looks better playing games of finesse against Championship teams as opposed to the hard-headed style of League 1 and 2.

[D. Advocaat]

I can't quite put my finger on why Salech seems to get nothing from the officials after seemingly being fouled time and time again.
It is happening every single game.
Shirley they all can't be in cahoots.

Whatever the reason I'm getting a bit pissed watching him.
Is he not that good after seemingly looking a real find initially

If we get crosses into the box he scores goals.

[MacAdder]

I spoke too soon, great positioning, but Kpakio with a superb ball there. Probably my MOTM, given I think Trott maybe could have saved that Reading goal, but it's close.

Me too. Your point was valid though

Can we keep calling players shite? Seems to be working

I have been saying it for weeks.

[Coyote]

Can we keep calling players shite? Seems to be working

Hmm, that Rubin Colwill fellow, he seems a bit shite, doesn't he?

[goats]

We are top of the league say…..

That should be enough of a curse

[ToTaL ITK]

ref's a cnut

And his brother, never do f all

[MacAdder]

I would definitely like to see more crosses, as has been mentioned by many before on here, that's for sure.
I also agree with Coyote, the lower league officials seem to let a lot more of the "physical" side go.

[ToTaL ITK]

Fish n chips

[LA Bluebird]

Far too cute by Salech there. Used a seasons worth of luck in the last two games.

[MacAdder]

Fekin ell, Fish off the line fantastic save!!
Terrible defending again mind.

[Coyote]

Go Fish!

When Lawlor is back, they need to start as many games as possible. Chambers can CDM and rotate back to CB if Lawlor or Fish need to come off.

Osho needs to get his shit together, and maybe he can sub for Bagan in a wing-back position.

[Wash DC Blue]

Fantastic stop from Billy The Fish.
He shouldn’t be dropped again.
Defence was solid with him and Lawlor.

[Pearcey3]

This is do my fuvking head in

[LA Bluebird]

Have got to do a better job keeping the ball in their half, obvious goal coming on the break here if we keep losing the ball and letting them counter with 7 or 8 men in the other half.

[ToTaL ITK]

TROTT!!!!

[MacAdder]

Trott again 👏 👏 👏

[Wash DC Blue]

Trott is immense!

[NYCBlue]

How many times are we going to give away possession in and around their area today?

[Coyote]

OK, Trott really is gunning for my MOTM vote now!

[NYCBlue]

WTF was that? Where would be without Trott?

[ToTaL ITK]

How many times are we going to give away possession in and around their area today?

chatGpt says 26 on average.

[LA Bluebird]

How many times are we going to give away possession in and around their area today?

Shocking. Surely the manager's job is to say let's have a bit of common sense, hang onto the ball a bit. Instead of everybody running forward like Chickens with their heads cut off and then giving it away every time.

Trott has got to be player of the season so far in the entire division.
