FT: READING 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Tuerto]

Nobody knows how things are going to pan out, especially with so many new signings etc. I am cautious to say the least. What i have seen has been an improvement, but i don't think that we have enough of a presence in the centre of the pitch in terms of penetrating the opposition. At some point there has to be a player who can carry the ball through the middle and link up play and create things in and around the box, we haven't really got that, it's all about shape when we haven't got the ball and from what i have seen so far, quite predictable movement and passing when we are in possession. It's early days, plenty of time to tweak things etc.

Is that player Colwill?

The second half was a mess today. No shape and the substitutions made it worse. The midfield two of Ralls and Wintle didn’t work.
