MATCH THREAD: " READING v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Reading controlling game and they are poor

Ojo off, Etete on.

Sawyers off, Sang on.

Come on City

Romeo off, Philogene on.

Two preventable goals and now game is to scrappy for city to get any rhythm going... need a bit of inspiration from somewhere...

Sang whips in a nice cross, but Harris' header is way over the bar, awful

Morison has used his 5 subs

Kieffer Moore scores again

Unfortunately dont look like scoring.

after their second we got lost... we also seem more tired than them.... Too bad... we deserved at least the draw... they did very little to win.

Philogene wins a free-kick on the far side. There's been so much time wasting from Reading. Interested to see how much stoppage time we get.

We've offered nothing since they took the lead

We've offered nothing since they took the lead

All 2nd half have we created even half a chance this half?

We huffed and puffed but (sadly) we couldn't blow the Reading door down...

Disappointing result but not the overall performance...

FINAL SCORE: READING 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY
Bluebird scorer: Callum O'Dowda (4 mins)

In two games only 5 shots on target We are clearly currently not creating enough

No idea why we would be playing it out from the back slowly when we were already over the 5 minutes.

after only two games it is difficult to get an idea. In general, the team looks much stronger than last year, although today it seems to have taken two steps backwards compared to last week. Today the kids looked fatigued. Sometimes it happens that you immediately take the lead, relax, and never resume the game. It is still early to get an idea of ​​what this season will represent for us. Personally I have hopes: I see strength, desire, courage, a coherent form. Unfortunately, like others, I also notice a certain difficulty in countering the opposing shooter on the edge of our area ... I saw it today (their second goal) and I also noticed it last week. We need a filter on the lower midfield. But I see a lot of positive aspects in this team ... I have hopes. What did the Jacks do?

Missed Opportunity
