MATCH THREAD " AFC BOURNEMOUTH v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Bristol C 1 QPR 0

Good pressing from Harris, forces Zemura to slive his clearance and Cardiff regain possession, which is gifted back to the hosts by a poor McGuinness long ball.

Vaulks with a crunching challenge there to dispessess Zemura. A battling start from the visitors.

I will be very surprised if we get anything from this game. It could be a hammering.

Let's hope the players don't have the same defeatist attitude

It may well be; but capitulation BEFORE the game is not what 'supporting' you (supposed) team is/should be about

C'mon you Bluebirds; Bournemouth not in great form at home!

Hard to be positive with the season we are having and a defence like a sieve. We only lost by the odd goal at home earlier this season so we can compete with them. However, I too will be very surprised if we get anything from the game. But like you say get behind the team and stranger things have happened in football.

It's called 'supporting the team through thick and (mainly) thin!

Rarely been any different in my time supporting (mainly thin) but that just makes the occasional good things even better!

So far City holding their own and Keiffer Moore forced a decentvsave from the Bournemouth keeper

Bournemouth also creating chances though

LATEST SCORE: BOURNEMOUTH 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

It looks like Vaulks and Ralls in front of a deeper-lying Bacuna as we start this one. Interesting.

A lively opening period!

Solanke does well to get the ball out of his feet and lay off Lewis Cook, but a couple of sprawling City defenders stop the chance.

It's a corner, though.

Bournemouth try a fancy set-piece routine after a McGuinness foul, but it's poor. Goal kick for Cardiff

End to end so far

Giles does well down the left and lobs a ball into a hopeful area. Harris tries to get across his man and does so, but at the expense of a decent header and it's a goal kick.

Better from Cardiff.

21 mins gone 0-0

Cardiff threaten to break after some great work from McGuinness, but Moore runs down a blind alley and Bournemouth can regroup.

Zemura is down and receiving treatment.

Decent start by us, more than I expected.

Yes we are doing well Ned

STOKE 0 DERBY 1

Still 0-0 25 mins

Nice move there. Harris witha strong run towards the box before squaring to Ralls. Ralls finds Vaulks who whips one across the defence.

Travers collects but Cardiff keep sending reminders of where they can hurt the Cherries.

Dam 1 nil Bournemouth

GOAL! Bournemouth 1-0 Cardiff City (Christie 25)


Goal. Christie's deflected shot beats Smithies.

The space between the centre halfs is painful.

Unlucky for Mark McGuiness; but that's the way the 'luck' goes between top and bottom teams

LATEST SCORE: BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

The space between the centre halfs is painful.

And there's 3 of them!! It's too easy. They're all too similar. Need an extra body up the pitch.

Own goal really. Up until that point Bournemouth had done very little and City were playing ok. Wont throw the towel in just yet but its going completely as I suspected. Promotion team vs a relegation team.

30mins gone 1-0


27th min Mark Harris booked

And elsewhere both Derby County and Bristol City winning

Currently 1 - 0 in both

Poor free-kick from Vaulks and it ends up going right back to Smithies in the Cardiff goal. Frustrating passage of play for the visitors.

Bacuna chases the ball like an 8 year old

Haven't a clue where he is supposed to be

Forest 0 Huddersfield 1

Poor free-kick from Vaulks and it ends up going right back to Smithies in the Cardiff goal. Frustrating passage of play for the visitors.

Sums our season up, free kick just outside the opposition box ends up with our keeper.

Decent move from City sees them open up a shocked defence (they looked for offside) and put the ball through only to be cleared by Bournemouth

LATEST SCORE: BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Nice from Cardiff! Ng slides in Harris but he blasts a cross across the face of goal, but Travers does well to get down and parry it away.
