' TONIGHTS TEAM CARDIFF CITY v SHEFF WED ' MATCH THREAD

HT 1-0 to Cardiff

Well, perfect from the Bluebirds.

They’ve seen next to no of the ball and yet are in complete control and have had the best chances by far.

Sheff Wed simply have to change something. Other than Adam Reach, they’ve offered next to nothing. It’s not the blood and thunder of friday night, but Cardiff are half way to an outstanding three points.

Fingers crossed...

Wednesday back on the ball.

Unsurprisingly, Wednesday are introducing Forestieri. Abdi goes off.

Simply had to happen. That gives Cardiff something to think about.

Looking good so far

Its now all Sheff Wed attacking

Free-kick

Forestieri already making a difference here.

Popping up in spaces and winning free-kicks.

Hasn’t come to anything yet.

Wednesday looking for a penalty but its off side

Now City attacking Hoilett shoots great save by Wed

Wednesday and City fans now signing

Excellent

So good from Hoilett.

He dances into the box and his low drive is saved by Dawson.

When he gets the chance, Hoilett is beating people tonight. That’s encouraging to see.

DAM

1-1

It had been mostly Wednesday for the last 6 mins

Pudil strikes for the Owls! 1-1

Now come on City

Unlucky

Good from Wednesday who work an overlap at the back post.

It comes across the six yard box and while Amos blocks Pudil’s shot, it’s in at the corner.

Wednesday have their tails up and Cardiff just need to hang in there for a little while.

Amos should have saved that, I have no idea how he allowed that to creep in! Marshall would have saved that!

Owls on the front foot now, Forestieri presses and forces an error at the back, Reach takes over and shoots wide

Steady now...

Reach shoots just wide after a bad Morrison error.

Cardiff on the ropes and just need to steady themselves.

So close

Wednesday a different team with Forestieri on.

He slides in Wallace who fires just over.

Pilkington on for Noone.

We’ll see Chamakh any minute now, he’s stripped for action.

Double sub?

Excellent sliding challenge from Bamba on the field.

Pilkington and Chamakh on and Noone /Lambert off

Its all Wednesday

City on the back foot currently. The fans respond with encouragement for the #Bluebirds players. (1-

The ball goes out for a throw and for some reason Pilkington gets involved with some afters with Pudil.

He appears to move his head in towards Pudil, but no cards shown.

Bit lucky there, I think.

Anthony Pilkington has scored 4 goals in 5 career matches against Sheffield Wednesday, more than any other side in his career.
