‘CCFC THIS SATURDAY’ AWAY TO SWINDON

Cardiff dictating play nicely here. Reall calm in midfield, O'Dowda and Ojo getting involved, too. A solid start from the visitors.

0-1

GOAL! Swindon Town 0-1 Cardiff City (Watters 13)
Goal! A lovely move finished off by Watters!

Fantastic work by O'Dowda, who was released on the right by Sawyers. He skins his defender and rolls a cross into Watters near the penalty spot and he slots home.

Is there any thinking in the last pre-season friendly being against a lower tiered team?

All I can remember in the past is the last game being a bit more competitive and testing against a higher or similar tier team.

Hull are playing Cambridge right now and Huddersfield are playing Tranmere right now.

So it's not just us playing lower league teams.


These matches are still about getting the fitness levels up before the new season next week.

Yeah deffo not criticising. More interested as to whether there is new thinking amongst coaches and managers.

As you say a few are similar.

I think otherwise, listening to Morison and reading what he says, wins are very important to him in these games and he wants to build their confidence up against lower league teams.

Can't beleive i would say this but cracking finish by watters lets hope its a regular well done lad.

Like now Watters scoring against a league 2 team.

GOAL! Swindon Town 0-2 (Rinomhota 15)

2-0 up now according to Gola Live, I'm not watching. Just wondered who scored?

2nd Goal.

What I was most impressed with that 2nd goal was Rinomhota' anticipation of a mistake.

He looks sharp!

Your welcome, great start.

Confidence building

780 City fans and they are in full voice already

Swindon look rattled a little here. Swindon are all over the place.

Cardiff being allowed to play through the Robins in midfield. The Bluebirds, by contrast, look really coherent, encouraging to see.

Watters can score given the service 2-0 city

Should be 3-0!

Allsop with a laser-like pass to Watters, who takes a touch and slots a ball through the middle to Rinomhota, but the midfielder drags his effort wide!

Sheyi Ojo tries his luck from 20 yards again, this time it hits the top of the stand behind the goal, though...

Swindon really are piss poor

We could see 10 goals here

Louis Reed with the first chance for the hosts, but blasts his 25-yarder miles over the bar.

Ojo running rings around his man down City's right. Travels with the ball and lays off Romeo, who wins a corner for City.

Watters slides the ball into the net after a Collins cross, but the left back is offside.

We seem to have lost most of our height from the team. Bodes well for the style of play but won't be able to use long ball as a plan C

A slight stoppage for a Swindon injury. Cian Harries receiving treatment.

3rd goal offside and it was

Finally found the link and pleasantly surprised to see us 2-0 up and with Watters and Rinomhota scoring the goals

Watters having a good pre-season and hopefully the confidence he gains will carry on into the serious season ahead

GOAL! Swindon Town 0-3 Cardiff City (Wintle 44)
And a third!

Cardiff slice open Swindon's defence through Sawyers, Watters and Rinomhota. Wintle is hit with a first-time pass in the box, takes a touch and finishes with his left foot.

H-T 0-3

Really hope he does well Chris. Can certainly finish. Another striker or two to accompany him and I’ll be happy.

The build up for the 1st and 3rd goals were excellent. Swindon are woeful but we have been very good. Sawyers going to be a big player for us next season.

GAOL: Bluebirds go 3-0 up with a good team goal finished well by Ryan Wintle just before the half-time whistle...

HALF-TIME: SWINDON TOWN 0 - 3 CARDIFF CITY

I think it’s clear to see Watters has got something about him. I wonder if any of the haters will change their mind after today. Granted the opposition is poor but he’s been superb today.

He absolutely deserves his chance when you bear in mind how different our style of play is in comparisons to past season.

May suit him perfectly this season.
