Headed away and falls kindly for Wintle, but his crashing drive from the edge of the d is just wide.

Close to what? The moon?

Corner Preston

Corner Preston

Easy for Allsop.

Watters looks to be in, tries to get a shot away inside the box but Lindsay's there to deflect behind.

Corner's played low to an onrushing Romeo on the edge of the box, but the effort is high and wide.

Johnson slices open the Cardiff defence with a lovely through-ball down the right channel.

Parrott is there to get a low ball into the six-yard box, but Ng is first to it and turns it behind for a corner, which is played straight into the arms of Allsop.

Ralls gives away a freekick midway inside the Preston half for a heavy challenge on Potts.

Game gone a bit flat now

Gone very quite from both sides

Colwill best player on the pitch

Preston counter but Cardiff handled it well.

Both teams struggling to get a shot on goal.

Good effort from Watters. He is doing things right just needs a bit of luck.

Colwill seeing a lot of the ball in the last few moments, but can't seem to find the pass or the touch on the edge of the area needed to make something happen.







Preston clearly believe they can have some joy down the right against makeshift full-back O'Dowda, who's dispossesed to give Cardiff a nervous moment, but the cross into the box isn't a good one and Romeo can smuggle away.

Good effort from Watters. He is doing things right just needs a bit of luck.

If he scores today I'll do a sock on cock dance in the street

Watters, who rides a couple of challenges, before racing into the box.

It looks like it's about to open up for him, but he lashes his effort well over the bar.






Meanwhile, Kipre is penalised for a foul on Parrott just inside the Cardiff half.

Good effort from Watters. He is doing things right just needs a bit of luck.

C'mon Watters

Ralls drills an effort into a crowd of players.

Cardiff trying to make something happen here.

Ralls effort block, move started by a good pass from Colwill.

Pre-mature but looking like the expected 0-0 but it is a more entertaining 0-0 than a dull one.

It's all gone a bit flat here.

Cardiff seeing plenty of the ball, but not really doing anything to trouble Preston.

The visitors try to make soemthing happen, but Parrott's pass out to the right is hopelessly too hard and sails out of play.

o'Dowda found himself in in the Preston area but well defended by Preston

Lovely ball from O'Dowda brings out a marvellous touch from Romeo, who chests it past Brady to scamper down the right.

Does brilliantly to keep it in, and get the cross in, but he loses his balance so it's not of the necessary quality and Preston clear.

O'Dowda gets a low cross away on the left just a few moments later, but Brown clears with little problem.

Only game i league without a goal.

Sawyers cross, corner Cardiff

A really patient build-up sees Cardiff string about a gazilion passes together before Sawyers eventually finds an opening on the right. He drills a cross in towards Watters, who can't get anything on it.

Deflected out for a corner that comes to nothing.
