MATCH THREAD “ QPR v CARDIFF CITY “ MATCH THREAD

Cardiff have really lost their fluency in the last 10 to 15 minutes after starting brightly. Smyth is troubling Connolly drifting out to the QPR right.

HALF TIME: Queens Park Rangers 0-0 Cardiff City

Cardiff started on top but QPR grew into the contest and, as such, we saw less of the Bluebirds’ attackers.

Wasted a couple of good opportunities! Starting to leave ken isolated after good start.

As usual, anyone who turned up without a ticket got in from Cardiff :thumb right:

Overall impressive first half only last 10 min qpr came into it. Formation looks good and getting the plenty forward. Missed a few half chances. Not sure on pelts in midfield though

TBF the top stand looks full so close to 2000 I assume.

I don't know the numbers yet,but Vince just said every Cardiff City fan who turned up without a ticket got in

Thats 5 away games in a row, City fans could turn up on the day and pay

1,427 Cardiff fans

Zohore has a chance but can't turn and in response QPR starting to look strong in attack

Peltier booked

Rash from Peltier (twice) to let QPR flood forward and he’ll get a deserved booking.

Maybe took one for the team there.





Zohore chance

Murphy with a brilliant long ball to Hoilett and it’s worked to Zohore.

Great chance and it’s deflected wide. Corner.

PENALTY TO CARDIFF CITY

PENALTY FOR CITY (Paterson brought down - shirt pull)!

RALLS puts City 1-0 up! and it was well composed!

1-0 Joe Ralls

1-0 Joe Ralls

Ralls converts! 1-0

Ralls’ cross towards the back post sees Paterson barged over by Bidwell and it’s a spot kick.

Ralls takes and scores! Down the middle1



PENALTY!

Hoilett is really getting into the game now, using his pace to worry Baptiste on the overlap.

It’s Cardiff’s turn to press for an opening.

PENALTY!

The Cardiff fans in great voice now, while the home faithful are showing their disapproval with Tim Robinson the ref.

Damour on for Lee Peltier

Freeman picks it up in acres of space and hammers a shot towards goal. It’s gone wide for a corner, looked like a deflection off Manga.

We’ve got a new ball now, that one has just ripped!

1-1

Hope these missed chances don't cost us in end!

1-1

A long throw and a Smith header.

Ah well! 1-1 (Matt Smith) but looked like an arm on Bamba for me!

QPR tails up right now and nearly 2-1 QPR

Matt Smith scores a good goal. 1.1

Almost 2-1 shit! We need to wake up!

Qpr are all over us now!

QPR attacking strongly and a footed save from Murphy keeps them out before city storm upfield. This game can go either way as it stands! Lively is a good word!

Need to change things or we going to lose this.

Both sides are really trying to win this game! It is just a case of who wants it more but I feel someone is taking the three points here! Just hope it’s us!

- End-to-end at Loftus Road.

Mendez on

Mendez-Laing replaces the impressive Healey.
