MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v AFC WIMBLEDON " MATCH THREAD

Wimbledon fans singing ïs this a library

So good from Cardiff. Lovely intricate play in and around the box before Joel Colwill rounds a diving Ryan Johnson before poking a cross to the near post where he finds Perry Ng. He just can't sort his feet out quickly enough and steers it wide.

First 15mins Wimbledon the better team

Wimbledon send in a hopeful free-kick but it's poorly executed. Cardiff clear.

Ollie Tanner gets on the outside of his man and almost hits the leather off the ball with a venomous cross. Nathan Bishop has to be strong to punch clear.

We are putting in crosses but salec us not there ,
need to keep it on the ground

Ollie Tanner again looking dangerous. He does his man on the outside and pulls a sharp cross back to Omari Kellyman 10 yards out, but the Chelsea loanee's shot is over the bar.

What a goal 1-0
Joel Colwill

That's it keep it on the ground simples

Nathan Trott forced into a save after Cardiff lose through ball through Kellyman after a throw-in. Marcus Browne hits a low shot from a tight angle but City's stopper is equal to it.

Lovely strike by JC.

Cardiff have it in the net.... but no! Ruled out. Oh, that would have been lovely, too.

Great work from Joel Bagan to beat his man on the edge of the box. He shapes to shoot but instead slides in a cute pass to Colwill, who slots home for what he thinks is his second.

But he's just offside.

Joel Bagan with another shot which is blocked and balloons into the air. Joel Colwill goes up to challenge for the header but goalkeeper Bishop clatters into him. He looks hurt, but eventually gets up and carries on. After Yousef Salech and Isaak Davies, Cardiff want to more head injuries.

Half chance for Wimbledon. Marcus Browne rises above Calum Chambers but cannot get enough purchase on his header. Goal kick.

Ollie Tanner is released down the right and has Chris Willock and Kellyman bursting into the box. Tanner is caught in two minds, though, and opts to shoot from a tight angle. Steve Seddon blocks and it's out for a City corner.

Omar Bugiel is injured for the visitors. Matty Stevens is being brought on.

Joel Colwill is everywhere

Myles Hippolyte tries his luck for the Dons and hits the ball brilliantly well from 30 yards. It's simple enough for Trott, though.

To be fair to Wimbledon they've made a game of it

1-1

Half asleep

Wimbledon deserved that to be honest we been poor, chambers who's not won a long ball all night just watched him run off then claimed offside which it wasn't clearly.

Tanner having a shocker. Gave the ball away again which results in a goal for Wimbledon. Probably a fair score for half time.

Chambers asleep

We just let him walk onto that, too easy.

very sloppy
Wimbledon deserve to be level
Colwill having a great game again
Tanner so wasteful and frustrating

" CCFC FAMILY STAND "

ITS HALF-TERM

AND ITS VIRTUALLY EMPTY ???

No complaints about them getting an equaliser, we've been off it.

Expect a better second half.

Wouldn't surprise me if Scanlon is coming on, warming up a lot.

Freezing cold so hopefully a bit more excitement in the second half.
