Clarke hits the bar for Preston

A let off for City!

Penalty shout for Preston with Stevie May getting the wrong side of Sean Morrison as he has done a few times.

Half a shove from the centre back and eventually referee Stuart Atwell gives one of those dramatic no pen arm gestures.

My guess that if that was outside the box he would have penalised Morrison who rode his luck.

Loving the updates Thank you

last 5 minutes very quiet.

Penalty shout Preston

Another penalty shout and Scott Malone can consider himself a very lucky boy.

Lazy defending from Ameobi to allow Preston to get the run around, Malone deciding to cut out the cross with his chest, stooping and leaning towards the ball. It may not have hit his outstretched arm but he was playing with fire.

Chance Cardiff

Morrison is inches away from scoring as Whittingham whips in a free-kick and he is first to it.

Whether it would have counted is another thing with the assistant referee’s flag up and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford coming off worse in the clash for the ball.

Another penalty shout for Preston.

Come on City

Come on City

Bluebirds

Frre kick just outside area for Preston well defended by Digachia.

Ian, See luck evens out over a season

Come on City, hopefully we will get something from the game

Noone plays Ameobi in but he takes too much time and the attack ends

City attacking with 'intent' now!

Great chance for Cardiff, 3 desperate blocks from Preston.

Preston then go up the other end and 'fluff' a good chance, rolling the ball into Marshall


Back into the Preston end and a free kick for Cardiff in the 'D'
