Reading manager Steve Coppell:
"At 3-0 we had the game won but to Cardiff's credit they fought back and we needed to raise a gear.
"Fortunately my players are a good bunch of lads and they did just that, but although it looked a comfortable win it was far from it.
"It is strange when you reach your target with five or six games left as you wonder how the players will react."
