TODAY V LUTON TOWN FOR ME WAS THE FIRST REAL TEST & CARDIFF

Sat Aug 23, 2025 1:24 pm

TODAY V LUTON TOWN FOR ME WAS THE FIRST REAL TEST & CARDIFF CITY PASSED IT:

This for me was a big win and the most important to date.

And another clean sheet.




Football just getting better and better and real enjoyable to watch.

Passing the best for years.

But I will say thanks to numerous saves by our goalie Trott who kept us in the game when Luton attacked.


My man of the match Nathan Trott save after save.


There were 3 changes from Tuesday's win - @chriswillock, @10DavidTurnbull and @CallumRobinson7 come in

Salech on bench


Turnbull went off injured and Tanner is out as well, We def need strengthening as more injuries will happen and Winter coming soon.

City played some good football and their passing is getting better and better.


The players also look fit unlike previous years.









FIRST-HALF: City had dominated for 25mins but no real threat then 25 min Robinson great shot and forced the Luton goalie to tip it over the bar.

As time went on Luton took control and and for me Nathan Trott was our best player first-half.

31mins: Joel Colwill replacing injured Turnbull

Trott for City made a few good saves as they took control for a while.

Trott made more saves.

Cardiff had 8 Shots Luton 7 Shots

But 2 of 14 successful crosses by Cardiff.









SECOND-HALF:


48mins Nathan Trott brilliant save from Mcguiness header.


Luton were far better this half and for long periods took control.


Then 68min Willock took in his man and shot and yes goal 0-1

69min Double Sub: Yousef and Calum replace Callum Robinson and Dylan Lawlor


87min, Rubin should of scored v just the keeper.

Is everyone starting to believe now? Brilliant and well done Willock silenced the detractors today. BBM proving to be a masterstroke appointment so far.

that was a good battle from our lot

The work the coaching staff have already done with R Colwill is superb. He’s won more battles today, been more physical .. we’ve been crying out for him to show his talent. The future looks very bright.

What a result today! For a lot of that first half we were fantastic but then we also had to dig in. Luton are physical but also have the biggest budget in the league as they’re still getting parachute payments from the premier league. Trott was superb and Rubin was absolutely unbelievable! Honestly Rubin looks a different player this year. His pressing and physicality was also excellent. What a goal by willock who also looked really good. Well done these young boys. Bluebirds!

Great result. Good performance showed the grit and endeavour to get the job done when under pressure. Trott showing he is a quality signing.
I have been critical of willock but hold my hands up today and say his best game yet. Hope he can keep this going and gives him confidence to push on next few weeks

It's a big win, shows we can compete with the best teams.

Trott was fantastic and Willock really impressed me.

We are getting better and better every week, long may it continue.
