Greg Cunningham's return
By Glen Williams
Speaking of full backs, it was good to see Greg Cunningham return to the Bluebirds' starting line-up for the first time since New Year's Day in 2019.
He was a little rusty, had a hairy moment when his sloppy pass to Marlon Pack gifted Reading forward Lucas Joao the best chance of the first half and tired as the game wore on.
But there were also signs of encouragement. He whipped in a couple of lovely crosses, especially in the first half, and was largely measured and disciplined with his defensive duties.
He is a little more defensive-minded than Joe Bennett, perhaps, and whether that fits into Harris' brand of football remains to be seen, but it is good to have two experienced, proven left backs in the ranks.

Richard, watch out saying that the committee followers will say there is nothing wrong if we sell the whole team.

A very good player, but just coming back from a year long recovery. Should have been given another month of fitness before coming back into first team.
