MATCH THREAD: ' CARDIFF CITY v QPR ' MATCH THREAD

Ralls with a well-connected volley, but it deflects wide. Better from Cardiff.

Kipre feels he's been fouled as he tries to bring the ball out, but the referee waves play on. It comes to Chris Willock, who cuts in from the left and tries to bend one into the far corner, but it's wide of Allsop's post.

Rubin Colwill has been involved in every attack

Colwill with a clever cross into Philogene, but the Billa loanee cannot bring it down.

Willock with an awful ball to Adomah on the far side. It's a goal kick to City. Cardiff doing well to contain the visitors at the moment.

Philogene is whacked into the back of the head by Dunne, but then he is adjudged to have been offside. Nasty one and Dunne lucky to get away with that one.

Romeo has to make a tackle at the other end and QPR get a corner.

Paal's corner is overhit again and Cardiff get out. O'Dowda is then pinged for a foul on the edge of City's box.

O'Dowda did well to head clear from Paal's free-kick. It falls to Willock but he is closed down before he can get a meaningful shot away.

Colwill tracks Adomah down the right flank and does well to earn a goal kick for the Bluebirds.

Iroegbunam drives towards Cardiff's goal and Wintle brings him down from behind. Gets booked and Rangers have a free-kick, dead straight and 25 yards out.

Play about to resume after Jimmy Dunne receives head injury treatment.

QPR free kick just wide

Paal with a good strike from the free-kick, but it's just wide of the mark. Good effort.

Is it me or do we look weak?

I wondered whether Colwill and Philgene would put in a decent shift. Glad to say Cilwell has so far.
Philogene on the periphery of the game and not really getting stuck… so far.
Not exactly actuon packed atm.

Wintle once again drags down Iroegbunam 25 yards out. Another free-kick. Can Paal get his radar right this time?

It's Willock this time, but Allsop saves easily. Straight at him.

QPR by far the better team

Philogene not in the game at all

Delightful cross from Wintle and it's primed for Robinson to head on target - but it's a clean-air shot. Should have done better there, Robinson. Goal kick.

Lovely ball from Wints there.

Not a single shot on target
Lacking quality all over the pitch
Need more 2nd half

Felt QPR bullied us in midfield for most of the half. I can't see them keeping that up for the 2nd half.

Wouldn't say QPR are by far the better team at all


Should have had a pen though

If we go 1 down I can't see us getting anything to be honest.
Come on City get the 1st goal and then keep pushing.

Bluebirds

Etete hits a drilled cross in towards Philogene, who is outmuscled at the back post. Lovely cross, though.

Sloppy from Kipre, who gives the ball away in a dangerous area. Adomah then wraps his foot around a low cross, but Ng does enough to put Dykes off and Cardiff clear.

Thought we scored then

Chance!

O'Dowda with the first cross. Colwill then hooks it back into the danger zone to Etete, who hammers a ball low and just past the upright. So close!
