Sending City fans home to South Wales happy
READING 1 CARDIFF CITY 1
Marshall, Fabio, Peltier, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Ralls, Noone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Doyle, McAleny.
subs: Moore, Malone, Gabbidon, Kennedy, O’Keefe, Adeyemi, Mason.
Crowd 17,953
1,600 Cardiff City fans made this short trip
Cardiff City were looking to finish as high as possible in the League,whilst Reading had their eyes on Wembley,so today could City take advantage?
City players came out to a fantastic reception from our fans and the City fans were in full voice.
A pity about the team, as Reading attacked the whole back four just stood there and were all at fault,1 nil Reading after 4 mins
It continued to be all Reading and City were struggling to get it out of their half.
22nd minute City had their first shot,a shot from Fabio.
To be fair both teams look poor,no creativity in midfield and City not getting the ball to their forwards.
Fabio,so far best player out of a bad bunch.
Half-time
Reading 1 City 0
As usual City start the second-half better than first, MCaleny made a great run and looked a threat to Reading.
City now took control and it was 3 attacks in a row,led by Mcanely, Joe Mason was now on the pitch
After that Reading then made Marshal made a superb save,resulted in a corner which Reading then hit the crossbar.
Funny story is,City improved the second-half but Fabio made a few bad mistakes.
In the 90th McAleny scored a magnificent goal to make it 1-1
My Man of the Match McAleny
Not a great match,but to be fair a draw is a good result
Up next Bolton Wanderers at home this Easter Monday
