MY VIEW/OPINION

" CARDIFF'S PLAY OFF HOPES STAY ALIVE "

Cardiff once again gave a second half performance to grab a point and keep their play off hopes alive.

The first half City did not create much and we're lucky to be only 1-0 down at half-time.

Two players stood out for me today Lex Immers and Simon Moore :ayatollah:

READING 1 CARDIFF CITY 1

Simon Moore, Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Malone; Noone, O'Keefe, Ralls, Lawrence; Immers, Pilkington

Subs: Wilson, Fabio, Morrison, Gunnarsson, Dikgacoi, Ameobi, Saadi


Crowd 17,407
Away Support Approx 1,800 Cardiff fans


City had their biggest away following for 2 years today at Reading :ayatollah: :bluebird:

Cardiff City went in to this game after winning three of their last four league games and looking to get in to a play off position,whilst Reading had,had a poor season and have just stayed just above relegation. City were looking and expected to get three points today'.

The match started quietly and broke in to life in the 14th min with Simon Moore making a one on one safe then City going up the other end and hit the bar.

As the game went on it was end to end with Reading creating the better chances.

Then in the 36th minute Gareth McCleary scored an excellent goal, turned with the ball and Moore no chance 0-1 Reading :cry:

It could of got worse Reading then missed a one on one with Moore and shot wide.

Half-time Reading 1 CCFC 0

15 mins in and City still had not created much.

64th min Noone and Okeefe came off, to be replaced for Amrobi and Gunnarsson.


Sammy Ameobi pull the ball in the box for Immers to put the ball in the net 1-1 in the 69th min :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

City then started to create more and the game came to life.

My man of the match Simon Moore :ayatollah:


Up next Derby County home on April 6th.

We created nothing in the first half and the second half we did enough to earn a draw.

Think we owe Sheffield wed one, the way their fans ridiculed us when we missed out on pkay offs when they beat us 1.0, what goes round comes around, I think we can go there last away game and beat them.

Hope I'm.wrong but can't see it with our current squad and manager I will keep the faith as always but Sheffield Wednesday would be a great day if we are still in itall though we pull it off when the odds are against us. Did you see Brighton they took 7000 to mk dons

Simon Moore was great today, and needed to be as both our centre backs had an off day.

Bring on the Rams!!!!!

Slade can still very much do it for us, but it does worry me he can't be consistent, but I 100% think this will go down to the last couple of games, it can be exciting but very worrying at times :lol:

I think a draw was the right result today. We didn't deserve to lose but we didn't do enough to win.

Huge game against Derby now.

Your right there,if we make the play offs we will come up against the best in this division and thats as far as we could end up,but for me Slade will have been successful this season.

We will draw with Derby , lose to Burnley. We haven't been in the top six all season., but who knows what others will do in the next couple of games. Slade hasn't got the nous to get us in the play offs. Hopefully he will be gone sooner rather than later. :sladeout:

Brian, We have been in the top 6 this season, but not for long.
The next few games are very very tough, who knows?

Derby game is going to be massive. Which is why I believe the club has chosen it to reward us with free tickets for ST renewals :ayatollah: Hopefully we can get a good crowd with a good atmosphere and push us on. Surely a must win game and definitely a no lose game :bluebird:
