Cardiff City next and Reading will be hoping to give a much better account of themselves than the rather underwhelming pile that appeared at Derby.
Cardiff are not on a good run, trouble is that normally spells big problems for Reading. Cardiff have lost 3 of their last 3 home games and are on an overall run of 5 defeats from 6 games. They will also have had an extra days rest following their 4-0 stuffing by WBA on Tuesday.
The goal threat comes from Cardiff’s defence with Sean Morrison (remember him?) and Aden Flint leading their scoring charts with 6 goals between them. Guess that means they’re quite useful at set pieces so Reading will no doubt endeavour to give them as many of those as possible.
Cardiff would appear to have a fairly clean bill of health at the moment while Reading, as we know, continue with their injury curse which sees Araruna, Azeez, Holmes, Joao, McIntyre, Meite, Moore, Morrison and Rinomhota all sidelined.
