MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v BARNSLEY " MATCH THREAD

City over all the better side

We need to get the ball into the box quicker playing with two big lads up front. Everything should be going into the box at the first opportunity!

This game is being played at a ferocious pace and it's causing Barnsley to make a number of errors so far. Some woeful passing from them.

Hoilett has been superb so far...

Cardiff break through a lovely one-two between Glatzel and Moore and the German is sprinting towards the box, but Matt James just clips his heels to bring him down.

James goes into the book.

What a one handed save by the Barnsley goalie, from Moore

Golden rule head ball back where it came from? But moore failed an easy chance

Barnsley nearly scored great save by Smitthies

That was Barnsleys first chance

Cardiff attack Hoilett, Barnsley save

Another City counter.

Robert Glatzel is played in and the German hits it left-footed but the keeper saves well.

Golden rule head ball back where it came from? But moore failed an easy chance

Considering he was being hailed as a forward who can head the ball,he really should have buried that chance!

For me a penalty

What a one handed save by the Barnsley goalie, from Moore

Fair play,top save!!

Penalty


2-0

Well deserved 2-0 H;T

Well deserved 2-0 H;T

Best half of the season by far. Could and maybe should have a couple more.

Well deserved 2-0 H;T

Good 1st half for a change annis,messes my bet up,but will accept a tenner loss for the win.

There we go, play at the pace this squad is assembled to do.

Junior looks a different player with the game at this pace.

Exactly the response required and could/should have had two penalties

HALF TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 0 BARNSLEY

Scorers: Hoilett, Ralls (Pen) use:bluescarf:

Excellent first half, joe ralls everywhere, bennett superb as well.
Lets not take the foot off the gas now.

Playing much better in this set up

Question has to be were these changes Harris choice or did the players ask for this after recent results because they feel comfortable with it?

Great first half,well played boys.Keep it tight second half and nothing stupid

An improvement but we’re just doing ok.
This Barnsley side are one of the worst teams I’ve seen in quite a while.
Hoilet playing very well - I always think he hets undeserved criticism on here most of the time.
Glatzel playing well.

Good half that.

Barnsley are very poor in the final 3rd but seem ok in midfield. Their defence is struggling against the likes of Holiett, Moore and Wilson. Our best defence is to attack.

I'll be there...I'll be there..with my lovely comfy slippers I'll be there...

Glatzel did really well first half

In fairness Thomas - if Harris takes the flack for us being shite then only fair he gets the credit for us doing better.

I said 2-0 . Each half

We look so much better with two strikers. This performance is considerably better than the one against Derby or QPR. Pack looks awesome in midfield and I think Hoilett looks better today. However we have also been quite lucky in the sense that Barnsley have not been clinical tonight, then again we were unlucky with a few chances too
