MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v READING " MATCH THREAD

We've been the better team but don't really don't look like scoring. Just a couple of comfortable saves for their goalkeeper and Flint missing a sitter.

Atmosphere could turn nasty again if Reading get a second goal.

Bluebirds

More good build-up play from Cardiff. Giles' cross hits Moore and goes to Ralls. He lays it off to Bowen and his shot strikes a Reading player.

Players and fans appeal for handball, but there's nothing doing.

Come on City 2 goals please

Not looking likely, we're toothless up front.

Score aside, City are playing their part in this game and it's certainly not one to resurrect the 'Mick Out' campaign at this point

A good support (more than Tuesday) today and in the main Bluebird supporters are getting behind their team with some good voice mainly in the Canton Stand
