Staying at me mams, so only 35 mins away. Very solid away performance. Usual possession. Had the better of the chances.controlled it. Joey Evans and Williams were good in the middle. Mcleary looked good again New boys solid enough at the back Kermorgant grew into it and took his goal well. All of that said Cardiff were awful and let us play our own game with little or no pressure.
We really needed an away win and right before the International break makes it perfect timing. Only watched the stream but thought Moore and Blackett had great league debuts. Kermit took his goal well. And Al Habsi earned his MOTM award for some good saves and good footwork. The passing out from the back works well away from home. We seemed to sap Cardiff's spirit and energy with our constant safe passing and possession. VDB and Al Habsi did well to consistently show for the ball from our defenders to make it happen. Great 3 points. URZZZ!
Holy shit we actually won away... against Cardiff no less. We looked much more solid with Moore in and VDB in midfield. Blackett is better than Obita. Fans were good, after we scored was the loudest I've heard us in ages. Thought we were the better team, our finishing is still gash and Cardiff should have had 10 men for most of the game. Happy for Kerm to get the goal and really hope he pushes on now.
Only watched via a Russian stream, but how did Roy Beerens miss that chance in the 2nd half ??
On train home. First half, Cardiff pressed us and just edged it imo. Brenda makes out this was simple but it wasn't. They had chances and were an inch or two a number of times from scoring. A better striker, a better ball in and they were in the lead. Saying that, we did control the game and apart from 10 mins in the second half, it was a bit dull to watch but we are a new team learning an new system and we will only get better. We missed a sitter and then scores and the result was deserved. Moore was very good. Blackett imo is not a left back and crumbled under any sort of pressure. We need to keep Willian's and VSB had his best…
Jaap Stam had a dream, To build a football team, We had no money so we had to get them on free's, McShane at the back, Rakelss in attack, We're Reading FC, We're on our way back.
Moore and Blackett are both excellent signings. You'd never thought that they were making their debuts for the team today. Moore has that natural composure and authority. Blackett appeared a yard off match pace, which wasn't surprising. With the back 5 sorted. Now attention can be paid to who the keeper is and the best perm of the front 5.
