MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v SWINDON TOWN " MATCH THREAD

I am nowhere near as pessimistic this season as I was last season. I do fear it will be a long tough season and near relegation fight. Watching game against roma last week we played ok in parts. But goals all pre season has been literally luckyish

Harsh penalty to be fair to Swindon.

Well taken by Salech, first goal of the season for our new number nine

Swindon attacking

Who voted Swindon

Robertson corner totally wasted

Swindon corner their first

Soneone else voted Swindon after we scored, baffled

Great run by City

Then Kapakio gave it away

It's 1 all, i've had a nightmare here

Yes Salech

2-1

Kpakio is not ready for the Championship, so many misplaced passes

Yes!

Another great finish from Salech

Good finish from salech!

I agree Ned

Ashford should of put the game to bed then

Started slowly, improved after the penalty.

Get a third goal and I think that'll be us through.

I like how the carabao cup game is the first game this year we can use it like a competitive pre season game. I’m sure we’ll see some changes around the hour mark including Moylan and whoever else needs some minutes. Enjoying the game as not much riding on it for me but kpakio makes me nervous

Get kpakio off please for the tea lady. Swindon are awful to be fair. Although you can always rely on osho for a goal or assist for the other team

Should be a few more goals in it 2nd half if we up our game because Swindon looks like a Sunday league pub side, bar there cross that got deflected for their goal that's all they had.

It's hardly Osho's fault for trying to block a shot and it deflecting in off him. If it was anyone else, then nobody would say anything.

I’m not too worried right now, I see this as a “final preseason” game. Think this game should help with the fitness and look a bit sharper for the game against Wrexham.

Bluebirds

Great ball outside of the foot from Ashford, should’ve scored with his chance.

We need to move the ball quicker.

I think Kpakio is a liability at the moment and would be better suited to a season on loan. He has also not overlapped once with Tanner. I feel he is too laid back in possession and doesn’t know if he should stick or twist going forward.

Does Osho have previous form?

Swindon early pressure

Robertson glides past his marker in midfield and then releases Turnbull. His pass in towards Salech is blocked but Ripley cannot recover and concedes the corner.

Let's just say he can do nothing right as far as monty is concerned.

Swindon had a good chance to level

Close! Clark whips in a brilliant cross and Drinan leaps highest. He is about five yards from goal and should score, but doesn't get enough on the header!

Cardiff put it out for a corner.
