MATCH THREAD “ CARDIFF CITY v NORWICH CITY “ MATCH THREAD

Shocking, no confidence now

This is a poor Norwich team too.

Very poor Norwich team

71st min Camarasa was replaced by Zohore

Leitner's free kick drifts over to the back post where Godfrey is waiting but Smithies is first to the ball. #ncfc

Shocking, no confidence now

Annis there's a fundamental flaw in way the team is set up to play, reserve side as same problems as 1st team you would think NW would change way we played this game but seems not.

Oh dear.

3-0 to us and 8k att.

Oooops

Shocking, no confidence now

Norwich also playing weak team Allan.

Our way we are playing is not right

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yes we scored

Still plenty of time

It's settled, welcome Bruno Manga, our new star striker!

Crowd 6,953

Surprised at the 8k, decent turn out.

Dissapointing team and poor tactics. I'm not bothered if we stay in the cup but our level performance is not improving.

No it's not with nothing to lose you'd think he would have attacking intent in this game but seems playing same way as 1st team! Don't understand the thinking of NW

A brilliant jinking run from Danny Ward brings a free kick to Cardiff on the edge of the box.

Reid takes a free kick for Cardiff from 25 yards which hits the wall and deflects through to hit the post.

Surprised at the crowd, I would have guessed we would have got around 5,500 to maybe 6,000 for this one. No surprise at the way the game is going, I thought Norwich would win this one. Was always going to be the sort of game we would lose.

Another great chance for Norwich but Cantwell hits it just over the bar.

Great save from Smithies to get a hand to Cantwell’s effort, as the winger raced through and tried to lob the former QPR goalkeeper.

Norwich have had chances to make this 4-1.

Danny Ward then sees McGovern tip his effort wide. End to end at the conclusion of this game! Great second half, to be fair.

At one end Cantwell's chip is brilliantly saved by Smithies before McGovern pushes Ward's shot wid

Something in warnock changed the last 3rd of last season, we stopped playing football and it's almost like we are obsessed with trying to stop the opposition to the point where we are are hardly trying to win a game but just keep it tight and hope for a set piece.

There was an interview with warnock where he talked about Blackwell and how they work on stopping the opposition. All well and good but it has to be mixed with attempting to win.

Ward denied by the fingertips of McGovern

FT = 1-3 .

That's correct no good stopping other team from scoring if you are not going to try and score yourself! And tbh we don't look like scoring in any game, NW needs to have a rethink on his strategy or we are going to struggle to win enough points to stay out relegation zone.
