' TEAM NEWS: CARDIFF CITY v HUDDERSFIELD ' MATCH THREAD

Subs: Wilson, Connolly, Richardson, Harris, Noone, Gounongbe, Chamakh

First effort

Pilkington blazes over from the edge of the box.

That came from an Aron Gunnarsson long throw. Wagner has instructed a defender to stand just yards away from the touchline to stop it coming in.

Okay start from the Bluebirds but that’s a nice move from the visitors and Wells forces a comfortable save from Amos.

Close!

Long throw almost comes good.

Morrison wins the header at the near post and heads just wide.

That man trying to block the throw on the touchline currently having no effect whatsoever.

Yes one nil Cardiff City Sean Morrison

Morrison!1-0 Cardiff

What a corner.

Great header at the back post.

2nil City

Junior Hoilett

Close! again

Set piece again.

Floated from Whitts, Morrison wins it and Ward saves.

Follow up deflected wide.

saved Gunnarsson's shot from the edge of the area before Hoilett squeezed in the rebound (AT)

Steady now...

Not often you see that from Gunnars, who gets careless and gives it away.

Thankfully Peltier is on hand to snuff out the danger.

Whittingham's cross goes just over @dan_ward52 before Gunnarsson glances over

Hoilett having a stormer

Huddersfield just aren’t picking him up as he glides into space and wins a corner.

A clever routine almost comes off.

Cardiff are absolutely flying here. Superb.

Damm 2-1

Smith scores

A really nice move but poor defending.

No one picks up Smith who ghosts in behind the defence. His finish is really composed for a right-back.

Lot of time to go in this one..

Rickie Lambert 3-1

Lambert reacts to score after Morrisons header from a Peltier free kick. 33mins. 3-1

What a finish!

Oh, that is very, very good.

Peltier floats a free-kick to the back post.

It’s nodded down and Lambert slaps the half-volley in off the post. On his wrong foot, that’s a stonking finish.

Best football by Cardiff so far this season

Outrageous!

This is a treat.

Lambert goes galloping down the right, where’s that speed come from?!

His audacious dink to the back post just evades Whittingham. Cardiff have steadied and are back on top.

Gunnarsson launches another long throw into the box but Stankovic clears (AT)

Bamba down...

Let’s hope this isn’t anything serious.

yep, straight back up.

Phew. Cardiff will just want to get into half-time unscathed here.

2 mins added time

Huddersfield have the ball but deep in their own half.

Cardiff lead 3-1 at half-time

So far, so very good.

So far, so good

Huddersfield have looked good at times but they’ve really been caught cold by Cardiff’s inventiveness here. It’s been good to watch.

They’ve dominated set-pieces again but there’s no disputing their open play threat is miles, miles better too.

Let’s hope they can ride the storm second half and landed some vital points.

Cardiff come forward

Bamba with the skill! Brings the ball forward as Cardiff start the second half brightly

49 - Tommy Smith booked for a foul on Ralls. Aaron Mooy then booked for dissent. (3-1)

Two bookings for Huddersfield

Tommy Smith booked for a foul on Ralls, then Mooy follows him into the book for dissent

City attacking

Cardiff building

Gunnarsson has a long throw in a threatening area, Cardiff looking good here. Shot from Bennett deflects wide, corner for the home side.
