CARDIFF CITY WERE BOOED OF THE PITCH TODAY

CARDIFF CITY PLAYED WELL THE FIRST HALF AND CREATED PLENTY OF CHANCES AND IT TO BE FAIR WAS ENJOYABLE.
BUT CITY LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD RUN OUT OF STEAM IN THE SECOND HALF AND A CRUEL GOAL IN THE 89TH MIN GAVE RWADING 3PTS.
So with David Marshall sold, City started the game with young goalie Ben Wilson and Sean Morrison as Captain.

Ex Cardiff City player Chris Gunter was given a good reception by the City faithful.

Cardiff City went in to this game after a good hard fought away draw at Fulham and with City having won their last home game,plus Reading struggling near the bottom of the Championship, City fans were expecting 3pts today.

The shock for City fans today was hearing that Cardiff City goalie David Marsh was sold and transfer listed Adam Le Fondre was on the bench.

City came to a fairly good atmosphere and started with Sean Morrison as Captain.

Both teams went for an early lead.

In the 13th Kadeem Harris did all the running, putting Jazz Richards in a great position, who had a shot tipped over the bar.

16th minute good work by Pilkighton with a shot in, for Immers to hit just over the bar.

It was becoming all City with Pilkington now having a shot just over.

31mins Bruno Manga replaced an injured Lee Peltier.

Later on Gunnarsson did an important block in the penalty box.

Just before half-time, a long throw was headed back out to Gunnarsson he crossed it in but Immers headed it over should have probably hit the target.
We played well but did only have 34% posession at home in the first-half.
Half-time CCFC 0 Reading 0
City started well with Sean Morrison shooting wide.

Lex Immers was replaced by Gounongbe in the 55th min.

City started to let Reading get in control of the game.

Reading for periods were all over City.

Craig Noone was brought on in replace of Gunnarsson, No one was put in the middle

Then bang out the blue Reading did what Cardiff could not and scored 0-1 Reading.
City now started to take control again with Kadeem’s great runs.

My man of the match Kadeem Harris.
Full-time CARDIFF CITY 0 READING 1
