MATCH THREA " ROTHERHAM UNITED v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Cardiff go short to Philogene, who lifts in a corner to the back post. Kipre rises up - but it's just over his head. Goal kick.

Stream a little behind here but a great picture and the Bluebirds enjoying the spoils so far...

The only voices I can here are from the vocal 'away' group (estmated at 1500) and they are in full flow getting behind their team

The game itself is seeing a very positive theme from the Bluebirds but Rotherham are not without their forays upfield

No better than the game v WBA but that early Bluebird goal makes it feel a whole lot better...

(Bluebird scorer: Jaden Philogene-Bidace, 5 mins)

Philogene with a lovely ball to release Kaba down the left. He cuts in and finds Romeo at the far edge of the box - but the defender's low shot is blocked. Throw-in to City high up the pitch.

Cardiff on top. I can see the 2nd goal coming.

McGuinness with a big header to clear a dangerous cross. He's had a terrific start to the game.

Lovely 'air shot' from Philogene sees him get a second opportunity and the Bluebirds keep the ball

Bluebirds definitely have the advantage so far and a second goal would not be against the run of play

Pretty much all Cardiff, just cant create a quality chance in the last third

Dangerous passage for Cardiff there. Ferguson whips in a cross and Ng does well to head clear at the back post.

But Rotherham come again - McGuinness clears!

Fantastic work from Etete, who almost breaks his ankles trying to get past three Rotherham players. He lays off Philogene and he wins the free-kick 20 yards out.

It's Ng territory - but Etete is down and wants treatment.

We need a second as we seem to be playing against 12 men here.

Etete off. Injury too much for him. Connor Wickham has been summoned.

Ojo on for Etete.

NG hits the bar.

Bluebird free kick inside the 'D' of the 18 yard box is delayed due to an injury to the excellent so far Kion Etete and he looks like he's going off to be replaced by Sheyi Ojo

The free kick itself is left to Perry Ng and he hits the crossbar...!

Cardiff deserve their half-time lead

Can't remember saying this but I'm disappointed we are not 2-0 up.

Kaba did well win that ball and get Ojo thought on goal, GK and defender on him quick didn't really connect with the shot and the goalie got his foot on it

Can't remember saying this but I'm disappointed we are not 2-0 up.

Agreed.

A first-half that saw the Bluebirds have the better of the game and a tad unlucky not to be more than a single goal in front; woth Ng's grwat free-kick and Ojo's injury time effort

It will do for now though and with other games currently going for us, this could be a very good day indeed...

Really good first half. Should be ahead by more.

Chris Nelson own goal as Blackpool are 2 - 1 down

Pitch is bogging now must of started hammering down at half time

Still is, looked like fog at first glance but it is hammering down still.

Match temporarily suspended!


Weather

This could be abandoned looking at the pitch & no sign of it stopping..

Game stopped until the rain clears...

It's pouring heavily at Plainmoor and it's pretty much under water with the white pitch lines spreading across the field

I can't remember seeing anything like this in a long time, if ever...

They water the pitch and then the rain means it is suspended- surely this is wrong
