Very stupid tackle

Will have to do it hard way!!

Kelly releases McCleary - he cuts inside but there's too many for company - Bamba and Morrison combine to see out the danger...

' Terrific save by Al-Habsi, denying Hoilett's cracking effort from a free-kick! Still 2-1.

Beerens lofts a lovely ball into McCleary's path - a low, drilled cross from the byline is turned away by McGregor.

Late

Into the final 20 minutes where Reading still lead 2-1. Can the Bluebirds get something from this?

Bamba heads wide from Hoilett's corner.

Kermorgant tries to flick the ball around Morrison in the box - appeals for a hand-ball turned away...

Ralls takes a Cardiff corner - Kermorgant almost slices into his own net but Al-Habsi makes a terrific flying stop!

Greg Halford is replaced By Matthew Kennedy and Jordan Obita on for the hosts.

Ambitious from Hoilett from 25-yards. His shot though is high and wide. (2-1)

Kermorgant causes chaos with a first-time cross on the half-volley - Peltier has to head behind.

Warnock

Neil Warnock is not happy and shows his frustration. He gets a ticking off from the referee.

Kermorgant almost squeezes a ball around the corner for Kelly, but it's just about cut out... then Kermorgant has an effort blocked.

What's point of bringing whitts on with 4 mins left? Last game was last 2 mins! !!

Royals with a slender lead, but Cardiff pushing forward in search of that equaliser.

I can understand why Wannock is not happy I can't remember the last Time I have seen a City team without a clue how to do the basics in a competitive football match, Reading are not even a good side and are there to be beaten but not by us, I don't get down to many matches now but if this is the standard of championship football then no wonder we can't get high sales on season tickets or large crowds.
I get my match reports from this message board and most of them are positive, but I could not believe what `I was watching today.
