MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF C v BLACKPOOL. MATCH THREAD

Great move from Cardiff forcing a good save by the Blackpool keeper Grimshaw.

Wow. that would have been stunning.



A length-of-the-field passing move from City results in Romeo sending in a cross to Robinson, but his shot is saved well by Grimshaw.

A scramble in the Cardiff box sees Jerry Yates attempt an audacious overhead kick, but it's over the bar.

Ralls whips in a decent cross towards Etete, but it's narrowly over the striker's head.

Another penalty appeal... but Robinson is booked for simulation!

Lovely ball through by Ralls, Robinson takes it around Grimshaw and goes down. The referee books him for a dive.

Sounds like Cardiff denied a penalty

Another promising Cardiff breakaway sees Ralls release Whyte on the left. He cuts inside and hits a shot towards the near post, but it's well wide. Robinson was open in the middle of the box, perhaps went for the wrong option.

More positive play from Cardiff. Romeo this time lifts a cross to the back post and Etete heads over. He adds such a different dimension to the attack.

Etete header over the bar. Good football from Cardiff.

The majority of the game has been all Cardiff CIty

Another miss. Need to put one of these away.

Should be ahead. Allsop starts a lovely move as he throws out to Robinson, who passes to Harris and he finds Wintle, who had made an incisive run into the box. But Wintle slides his effort wide. Another big chance missed.

GOAL! Cardiff City 1-0 Blackpool (Etete 36)
Etete scores!!!!

Etete chip over the Blackpool keeper.

Richly deserved 1-0 lead.

Etete chip over the Blackpool keeper.

Richly deserved 1-0 lead.

Def deserved

He took that well.

Good to see him score & hopefully that will give him some confidence to go on & score a hatfull.

Whyte is played through on goal but is offside.

Come on City lets get a few more

Ralls with another nice cross and Etete latches on to it, but can only steer it into Grimshaw's hands.

All Cardiff. Should be more than 1up.

All Cardiff. Should be more than 1up.

Ian, Blackpool are worse than awful, got to be beating these by 4 today

Harris down after a bang on the head. But play resumes.

Harris fizzes in an excellent low cross and someone should be there to tap home, but it's not the case. Blackpool's Callum Connolly has to turn it behind for a corner.

Whyte overhits his cross. Goal kick.

Robinson with a tame effort from 20 yards. It's saved.

H-T 1-0

Coventry 2 Swansea 0

Let's hope Hudson is prepared to change things if they do? which is highly likely as cannot be as bad 2nd half

Coventry 3 Swansea 0

Madine with a naughty, late tackle on Ng and Wintle, who was his team-mate at Blackpool last year, sprints over to confront the former Cardiff striker.

The referee puts Madine in the book. Ng receives attention. Looked a nasty stamp.
