MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v STOKE CITY " MATCH THREAD

City corner

Stunning save from Phillips and followed up by Ng!

Good start by us

Stunning save from Phillips and followed up by Ng!

Cardiff got away with one there as Fletcher fires low at Phillips, Thompson follows up with the rebound and Ng denies him on the goalline! Incredible.

City need to up their game

Tom Sang feeds Bacuna on the edge of the box and he chops inside his man and hammers a shot away, but it flies wide.

City having the possession, but Stoke looking the better team and creating more now.

We are playing poor, stoke having chance after chance

We are playing poor, stoke having chance after chance

So far very poor

20mins gone and over all not a great start by Cardiff

Huge chance!

Flint gives the ball away with a poor pass to Vaulks and Fletcher is wide open through the middle. He feeds Powell, who bursts into the box and has only Phillips to beat, but he sends his effort wide of the far post.

Its all Stoke and they are creating the chances

Should be 1-0 down

Should be at least one down. Sloppy in possession and no work rate.

Poor start so far

Im a bit shocked as Stoke have been awful for months

Morrison hits a lovely diagonal ball over the top and Ojo looks to control and shoot first time, but he loses the ball off his outstretched toe.

Stoke seem more urgent

Third game, not dominating the game. Worrying

Big stoppage in play here after Steven Fletcher took a knock to the head while challenging Ciaron Brown in the air. Sam Vokes readying himself to come on.

Fletcher off, Sam Vokes on.

Boro 1 - PNE 0. We are now a point below Boro as it stands

30 mins gone Cardiff def need to up their game

Christ this is poor from us so far could and probably should be two goals down by now. Thank god their finishing is poor. Midfield not functioning properly. On the plus side Sang is playing well. Thought that when he couldn't get a first team place he would not get into a championship team but has played well in all his games for us so far.

Bacuna does well to fashion his own chance there, skipping past his defender before hammering one with his left again. It's low and Davies gathers well.

Its a scrappy game

Hopefully Stoke have had all the chances and City score
