Cardiff City fans are in stitches after Reading manager Noel Hunt took a cheeky swipe at their star goalkeeper following a thrilling 2-1 victory for the Bluebirds. Despite Reading putting on a strong performance, Hunt couldn’t hide his frustration, claiming they made Nathan Trott, Cardiff’s keeper, look good, though Trott’s incredible saves were undeniable. Cardiff turned the game around after falling behind to a Lewis Wing strike, with goals from Omari Kellyman and Yousef Salech sealing the win.
Cardiff supporters had a field day on social media, defending Trott’s heroics. Gwydion Brown shared, “Trott is by far the best keeper in the league,” while Jamie Pryor chimed in with laughter, “You won’t play against a better keeper all season!” Even Hazza found humour in Hunt’s comments, commenting, “How deluded do you have to be to say something like that!”
The stats are clear: Trott’s loan from FC Copenhagen looks like the signing of the summer, boasting the highest save percentage in the league at 84.1%. Cardiff fans are already dreaming of making his stay permanent should they clinch promotion.
Ross Munro pointed out the truth: the Royals might have dominated at times, but Trott’s class between the sticks made all the difference. Ashley Gifford noted Reading fans were impressed with Trott, questioning Hunt’s critique. Meanwhile, fan account Tiger Bay simply put, “Our keeper wasn’t good? You played excellent but so did our keeper.”
As Cardiff sits proudly atop the table, they are grateful for Trott’s outstanding contributions, which have kept them in thrilling matches. The buzz among fans is palpable, with everyone keeping fingers crossed for a promising season ahead. How’s your football banter today? Let us know in the comments!
