MATCH THREA " STOCKPORT COUNTY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Ashford tries to get on the outside of Osborn, but cannot get his cross in past the left-back. It's blocked.

Stockport passing the ball well

Free kick County

They're really trying to intimidate our players, especially Salech & Rubin. We need to give them the same back & let them know we're no pansies.

Rubin Colwill with one of his trademark turns in the middle of the park before releasing Ashford, but he just cannot get it under his spell. Not fallen for the winger so far.

Def are

Bagan initially does well to spin his man, but his cross-field ball to Ng has too much on it and City concede possession and territory to Stockport

Stockport shot , corner

Cardiff struggling to get in the County half

Rubin Colwill heads clear.

How small is the pitch

Chance for Cardiff wasted

How small is the pitch

That’s the problem it suits County

County doing well at stopping our usual passing

Hows Chambers doing? I would rather have Lawlor there

Very low on chances

Just one from Stockport

Very scrappy so far

No atmosphere by Stockport fans lifeless

This is pretty much what I expected to see so far, with the Bluebirds trying to move the ball around and Stockport getting into us quickly to stop potential attacks

The Bluebirds steal the ball on left hand side and the ball falls to Rubin Colwill, who then puts a poor cross over, which is gathered by the Stockport keeper when Salech was moving in

LATEST SCORE: STOCKPORT COUNTY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (15 mins)

Diamond chops inside from the right and tries to drill in a low cross with his left - Joel Colwill cuts that one out.

Stockport creating the chances but City solid at the back

Yes, high press and no space for the midfield. Ashford is the outball at the moment

Referee giving us nothing

We got to be careful not to lose our heads in this game due to the referee, and Stockport employing the dark arts.

But, once again, this referee is dreadful like every other one we’ve had so far this season.

Ashford and Pye in a footrace for the ball and the Cardiff man looks to be bundled over - but the referee waves it away.

Ashford messed up that chance then big time

He's been the weak link so far

I don’t get what people see in him, if he wasn’t a local lad he’d get a lot more stick. Weak link in our team

Stockport missed a hell of a chance
