MATCH THREAD: “ EXETER CITY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Now Exeter attacking

Exeter shoot over the bar

Lawlor slipped a call for handball

Cardiff look like they'll have to contend with some long throws. Pierce Sweeney hurls another one in. Omari Kellyman clears it this time.

Exeter have started well here. Sweeney with a wonderful cross to Josh Magennis, the former Cardiff academy product, but Cardiff manage to get it clear.

Crossbar! Alex Robertson's corner is dangerous and Perry Ng rises highest - but crashes his header against the bar!

City break quickly thanks to a lovely spin in the middle of the park from Kellyman, who takes out two defenders in doing so. Ollie Tanner is released on the right, but his shot rebounds off a defender and then back off him, so it's a goal kick.

Strong start from us, Rubin and Ng unlucky with their chances

5 Shots to 1 for Cardiff

Exeter very very vulnerable at the back, very poor they are

Jack McMillan dispossesses Rubin Colwill in a dangerous area. Colwill looks for the foul but nothing given.

McMillan hammers a shot from 25 yards but it's poor. Well wide.

Good work again from Ollie Tanner, who lifts a great ball to the back post. Cian Ashford is closing in but Pierce Sweeney nods behind for a Cardiff corner.

5 Corners to Cardiff

Hope I am proved wrong but would play Joe and not play Rubin. Also tanner would be sub and not in the first 11.

Perry Ng with a fierce, whipped cross and Luca Woodhouse has to produce a defensive header to flick behind.

Ashford could of shot then

WE surely have to score, Exeter are all over the place at the back

Big chance! Tanner finds Rubin Colwill on the edge of the area and the Bluebirds captain squares a low cross to Ashford near the penalty area. The winger miscues his first-time shot, though, and skies it!

Bradford losing

Perry Ng in the thick of the action again. Cardiff work their way into the box and Rubin Colwill feeds Ng, who lashes a low shot across the face of goal.

It's just wide!

It's imperative we win today - Bolton dropping points away at Rotherham and no disrespect to Exeter but we should be beating these comfortably.

Much better than Tuesday, totally dominating and attacking well.

Will be very confident if we can get that first goal.

Trott has had nothing to do so far

Freekick for Cardiff

Wasted

Lots of missed opportunities so far. We don't actually look like putting the ball in the net yet, a few times the ball has gone into the middle & there's been no Cardiff player in the vicinity, who is the forward?

We are missing a striker to put some of these chances away

Great run by Kellyman

Lots of missed opportunities so far. We don't actually look like putting the ball in the net yet, a few times the ball has gone into the middle & there's been no Cardiff player in the vicinity, who is the forward?

This is what happens when you play Colwill and Kellyman together. We all know who the more talented of the two is, yet Colwill somehow gets picked.

A powerful run from Omari Kellyman through the middle of the park. He has options left and right but shoots himself. It's the wrong choice as it bounces off an Exeter defender.
