' MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF C v HUDDERSFIELD ' MATCH THREAD '

Cardiff City will be checking on the fitness of David Marshall and Anthony Pilkington having both returned from international duty while Ben Turner and Federico Macheda will both miss out through injury.

Huddersfield Town sign Elliott Ward on loan from Bournemouth in time to play against Cardiff City

Don't know if its because of the break or how much I enjoyed the last home game but I'm really looking forward to Saturday good crowed of us going down including some who have not been for a while, hope we can keep the momentum going and get the noise levels up in the stadium.

Likely line-up (4-4-2)
Fabio is expected to keep his place
Marshall, Peltier, Connolly, Morrison, Fabio, Pilkington, Dikgacoi, Whittingham, Ralls, Mason, Jones

Butterfield has been sold to Derby

2-0 Cardiff

I wish we'd bought him.

Vaughan Ruled Out of Cardiff Trip

James Vaughan will not feature for Huddersfield as they visit Cardiff City this weekend after Chris Powell ruled him out as injured alongside Joe Murphy.

It would seem highly unlikely that Vaughan is actually injured and that Town in-fact are treating him the same way they did with other outcast members of the squad that they want to leave.

Vaughan, who was quoted on September the 1st, via Twitter, after a prospective move to Wigan fell through

Idriss Saadi is still recovering from his last injury at his previous club.

Cardiff boss Russell Slade is expected to name an team unchanged from before the international break.

Aron Gunnarsson, David Marshall, Anthony Pilkington and Bruno Manga have all returned unscathed from national team duties.

Loan goalkeeper Jed Steer is expected to go straight into Huddersfield's starting line-up and Jamie Paterson is also hoping for a start in midfield.
Mark Hudson's ankle injury could mean a start for Norwich loanee Elliott Ward.

MATCH FACTS

Cardiff have won their last three home meetings with Huddersfield, scoring eight goals.

Huddersfield have kept one clean sheet in their last 12 away league games at Cardiff (W2 D3 L7).

The Terriers have scored just six goals across their last 10 away games.

The Bluebirds are unbeaten in four at the Cardiff City Stadium, winning two (D2).

Good lineup that Allthough a bit surprised both Connolly and Morrison ( he does what he wants, he shits in the streets) got the nod ahead of Manga..

Cardiff City 4 Huddersfield 1 feeling positive about today.

0-0

Slade can talk up mason as much as he wants he is not the answer at home. No pace throughout the team but up front it's almost embarrassing

HT: Cardiff City 0 - 0 Huddersfield

0-0 is probably about fair, but Cardiff City are going to have to start the second half as they finished the first.

For most of the opening 45 minutes we were far too slow, our movement wasn’t good enough.

But that changed as half time approached and we need to keep that going now.

Anthony Pilkington did find the back of the net, but he was flagged offside.

Cardiff City simply can’t get hold of the ball. They are battling, but are losing possession too often.

Whittingham and Ralls have given away possession at times in front of their own penalty area. They are not the only guilty players, but City have to up their game.

It’s all too scrappy.

Cardiff City trying to thread their way through Huddersfield’s defensive system, but there is no room.

Huddersfield are without a win this season and are third from bottom, but they have played really well today. They aren’t doing anything amazing, but they are outnumbering Cardiff in midfield.

Peltier went off injured he was replaced by Malone.

2-0 Mason.

FT 2-0

This is how the table looks. All other results went our way and we have finished the day 2nd
