MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v STOKE CITY " MATCH THREAD

What a poor shot


Tom Sang smashes one over the bar from 25 yards, a poor effort.

Christ this is poor from us so far could and probably should be two goals down by now. Thank god their finishing is poor. Midfield not functioning properly. On the plus side Sang is playing well. Thought that when he couldn't get a first team place he would not get into a championship team but has played well in all his games for us so far.

Your so spot on.

I spoke to soon, that was very poor by Sang

Vokes gets a header off but there is no power in it. Floats into Phillips' arms.

Rotherham 0 Watford 3

Bacuna the only one trying to make things happen for us

Our bench is so strong as well

Apparently Stoke dominated v Boro on Sat then collapsed after going 1 down, we need that to happen here.

We need to score, but at the moment no chance

Quite unimpressive so far. Missing pace of Murphy? Could be 2 down. Dreadful miss by Nick Powell who I rate.

Poor match

Bit like a tennis match at the minute, both teams exchanging long balls back and forth. Not been easy on the eye, this.

45 mins gone and one our worst first -hals under Big Mick, you would think Harris was in charge

We need ht

1 more min, then Big Mick can hammer them

Will Vaulks whips in a free-kick to a great area, but Morrison misses the tap-in at the back post!

H-T 0-0

HT: 0-0

Fortunate to still be level

Not a good game and lucky to be drawing.
Where has the pressing gone?

Almost like they're playing not to lose rather than trying to win it!

Well that was shit......

Still waiting for the Ojo a lot on here see, cos i see a L1 player.

Pack has had a few decent passes followed by obscurity

Murphy and Wilson for the last 30 and hope the can add that bit of class we are missing up top.

Need a kick up the arse.
Come on Blooooobirds 3 points please

I wonder if Williams may get chance in the second half. We need some spark from the front three. There have been glimpses of creativity but poor decision making and a lack of sharpness in the press is letting us down this evening. We not doing anything in wide areas either.

Piss poor so far. I dont think Bacuna will need a shower at the end of the game - for somebody who supposedly has a great engine he looks in need of a service!

Would love to see junior Hoilett come on, at least he holds on to the ball.

Free flowing entertaining football- NOT. Quite a few City players off the pace. It seems unfair to pick one out, but....
I see Pack has reverted to type. Hardly involved, and when he gets the ball its sideways or back. Nil creativity. The only thing of quality was the Vaulks free kick which somehow Morrison failed to make contact with.
Come on City, lets have a good 2nd half!

Bluebirds

Cardiff try to wreak havoc from a free-kick and it falls to Bacuna on the volley, but he blasts it into Nick Powell and over the bar for a corner.

Big Mick has had strong words

Way over

A free-kick in a great area for Cardiff, but Ojo floats it too far over and it's a goal kick.
