MATCH THREAD : " CARDIFF CITY v READING " MATCH THREAD

Sorry wheels have come off I said after orient game bbm isn't any different from riza season started off like wow but the reality is setting in changes team every week just like riza bbm is a nice guy buy we in business of winning games I'm not convinced by him

Cardiff fans BOO

H-T

0-1

Awful first half. No attacking threat whatsoever.

Osho is terrible, every game this guy pisses about, i'm waiting for that disaster moment every single game

Poor first half, let's see if bbm can do what he did against orient and turn it around

Don’t know why we don’t start with two up top at home and show more attacking intent.

honeymoon period well and truly over now

bbm has to switch things up now, his default system has been found out

how many more "poor teams" are we gonna watch outplay us

it's starting to get embarrassing now

Embarrassing first half. We look suicidal at the back and clueless going forward. The amount of unforced errors and poor passes has been shocking. There needs to be immediate half time changes. Fish on for Osho. Wintle and Robinson on too please. BBM has had an international break to come up with this. Not good enough today.

It feels like our performances are based around the centre-back partnerships. It's like the team haven't got confidence in them and so we look poor, and can't play with any freedom.
This is painful today. 0-1 at half time flattering us

BBM 4 changes again today ??

What's new I've come outside for a cigarette early it's shocking annis backwards football we got a center half who can't pass from A to B, why we playing one up top on his own we at at home vs a team near the bottom for f**k sake it kills me. Colwill and his bother have passed it anywhere but to a Cardiff player at times. Kellyman got about 100yarrs of space with nobody around him we hardly giving him it ( 3 times he's had it and looked dangerous))He needs to change the system second half like he done Vs Orient. Turnbull has served no purpose being on the field tbh along with a good few others who love to turn backwards and they got 20 yards of nothing forwards.

Got to be better than this slow backwards park football lethargic shit being served up 2nd half if tinkerman changes the system

Are our defenders wearing shock collars & they get shocked if they stray over the half way line? As soon as the get there they stop, look around & pass it sideways or backwards, I don't get it.

Had this discussion earlier we get to 40yrds from goal and stop even if 3 players in area its always looking back not who's in area I can cross to. Nothing is happening but will bbm change it halftime hoping for players to start performing or does he fo his nor thing subs at 60mins ?
64% possession 4 shots to their 11 yet we had 61% possession in final 3rd .. ...no successful crosses out of 7 attempts they had 5 out 11.. bleak reading

Nothing to do with 4 changes we have a squad they have to be used otherwise if one of our so called regulars gets injured or is out of form we play with 10 do we .The players need a right bollocking half time there’s no urgency at all ,passing and movement is far too slow .expecting a big reaction 2nd half especially from the Colwills ,Kelly an and Willock

Too early to jump to conclusions but at one stage last season, I thought Riza was doing a good job and then his constant rotation really unsettled the team. Signs are ominous that BBM is cut from the same cloth. For him to leave out players like Robinson and Fish who are performing well is plainly ridiculous. He's not Pep, we don't have strength in depth so stop fiddling with team selection. One or two changes can be integrated but five is nonsensical.

Ian,

BBM has never ever played the same team in two consecutive games. This does not help.

We are va l passing way way to much

Turnbull not good again

Hopefully a big improvement 2nd half

Need to throw it into the box, we go down the wing, pass it back to the full back, he goes back to the centre back and the defence pushes out and we’re back to square one.

It has to end in either an attempt at goal or the ball out of play. The only positive about that type of football is it’s easy to control a game that way, but they have controlled the attacking game even if stats say we’ve had more of the ball all the possession for both teams is in our half.

Let’s see if anything changes second half, reading deserve the lead although the goal was out of nothing

You can’t keep Tinkering

Nothing to do with 4 changes we have a squad they have to be used otherwise if one of our so called regulars gets injured or is out of form we play with 10 do we .The players need a right bollocking half time there’s no urgency at all ,passing and movement is far too slow .expecting a big reaction 2nd half especially from the Colwills ,Kelly an and Willock

It’s a fact managers who Tinker usually fail

He’s got to stop

Osho off. He never should have started. Thats on BBM.

One change at the break - Will Fish replaces Osho.

Great Save by Trott
Fish caught out

Call for a penalty to Reading

Ref NO

Come on City

4 changes is the same as having 2 different defenders and 2 different midfielders every week! That is bad for players confidence or continuity ... bbm does this every week

Yes, come on Cardiff

YES 1-1

Kellyman yes

Superb by Kellyman

Rubin

Good save by Reading

that's better now let's go get he winner

Cardiff feeling more confident now
