City throw in

Third corner of the game for the #Brewers. Lund floats it in by it's held by Etheridge.

Counter
Cardiff finally relieve the pressure and Tomlin’s pace gets them forward. Plays a good ball to Hoilett but the Canadian takes an age and the Brewers shut it down.
Tomlin certainly isn’t slow!

Sky suggesting we're giving away a lot of free kicks?
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:30 pm
Sol Bamba cleans out @jmous21. Matty Lund to swing in the free kick.

Yes we've been getting well stuck in, maybe a few to hard.

Gunnar on his own
Gunnarsson appears to be fighting a line battle in midfield. Joe Ralls has barely had a touch and the Icelandic international is being crowded out.
He needs help in there, as Cardiff continue to struggle to maintain possession and relieve the pressure.

Lots of fouls
A few Burton fans getting unhappy with Sol Bamba, who has certainly had better games than he’s having so far.
The Ivorian was superb last season but has given away a few cheap fouls today. Cardiff get a free kick and the fans show their approval with a chorus of ironic cheers.

Lovely work from Lloyd Dyer down the left but his cross is well dealt with by the Cardiff defence.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:34 pm
Sean Morrison is implored to do the ayatollah but he’s too busy arguing with the linesman.
There’s been plenty of 50-50 calls in this game, many of which have gone Burton’s way.

Cardiff now get a free kick in a dangerous position. Tomlin to take...
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:34 pm
Kyle McFadzean with a foul on Junior Hoillett in the corner. Tomlin to take the kick.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:35 pm
Tomlin swings it into the box but it's cleared by Dyer.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:36 pm
Gunnar closed down
The free kick is cleared but then Gunnarsson manages to jink through the Burton defence and isn’t challenged until he gets to the byline.
That was the first time Cardiff had been in the Burton box for a while.

No sign of this relentless pace from slowing down. Cardiff gradually coming back into it #Bluebirds
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:39 pm
Jackson Irvine races through on goal but his effort is too high and it sails over the bar.

Big Burton chance
Biggest chance of the game is wasted by Burton.
Jackson Irvine played clean through from a third-man runner, with Cardiff’s backline caught on their heels.
Fortunately for the Bluebirds the Brewers’ star blazes wide under pressure.

41st Min Zohore shoots past the far post
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:41 pm
Burton just missed a virtually empty goal
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:44 pm
Warnock needs to kick them up the backside second half.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:45 pm
Half-time 0-0
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:47 pm
Come on City let's get our season started. Maybe worth going back to 433 give us a more attacking fluency
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:47 pm
Sounds like this could go either way at the moment, not many chances.
Perhaps we'll see Mendez-Laing soon. A bit of pace could be the difference.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:51 pm
At least with laing ,ward, pilks etc theres options. Still think we need to switch to 4 at back look more solid or get jazz on instead of pelts
Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:57 pm
I'd like to see Jazz on for Pelts but more pace and an excellent delivery. I think he may take Ralls off too by the sounds of it play Gunnar holding Tomlin in front of him and then the other two on the wing brim Ward on for Ralls maybe

The second half is up and running with no changes from either team.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 3:05 pm
Junior Hoillett gets inside the box but his shot is deflected wide by Luke Murphy.
Sat Aug 05, 2017 3:06 pm
Cardiff now doing all the attacking
Sat Aug 05, 2017 3:06 pm
Super play Lee Tomlin.
He looks after the ball really well. Gets it from Peltier and slips in Hoilett, whose shot is deflected wide. Corner.
Bamba then arrives at the back post but his effort is blocked. Somehow, Burton survive!
Sat Aug 05, 2017 3:08 pm
Started this half with more intensity!
