MATCH THREA " PETERBOROUGH UNITED v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THR

Nathan Thompson flies into a tackle and gets the ball, but it looks as though his studs are up and he rips through Pack.

Thompson goes down feigning injury and Flint sprints towards the centre back and screams at him on the floor. Pack does the same.

There is a bit of a melee, but the upshot is, Pack and Flint are booked. Work that one out?

Replays show that it was Pack that was fouled badly (two footed lunge) but he (Pack) gets the yellow card for an Olivier Award performance from the Posh guy...

Pack should have stayed down & rolled around screaming.

That's the price of honesty, I'm afraid...

Posh 1nil

FFS. 2 in 2 mins

Awful 2-0

Oh dear

Not a single Cardiff player has come out for the 2nd half.

City allowed Clarke-Harris one touch too many and he slots the ball into the net...

And rhen he does it again...

Slapdash City need to respond now...

Cue The BarryFraud88 Show...

Ripped apart by a bang average Peterborough side. Its been coming. Our front three have been awful and Mick can't see this? Very humbling and there goes any early season optimism.

What a terrible start to the second half. Perry Ng has been nowhere near the standard we should expect from one of our players this season. Bullied off the ball for that second ball by someone almost half his size. And then hardly put effort in to get back.

Surely Mick is going to make some changes now, and hopefully get away from this back 5 as we need to attack now. But that’s never going to happen. He’ll probably end up taking off Bacuna and play Collins on the wing again!

We are not looking good, Posh in command

Bad defending again from City cedes possession to Clarke-Harris and the striker lashes the ball from the corner of the box, but it's not on target.

62mins

Kieffer Moore on for Ng.

I didn’t see the at coming o stand corrected from my last post. I now have faith in Mick!

Dembele off, Marriott on for Posh.

I agree

Not a single worthwhile shot all night

C'mon City; let's give The Posh a taste of their own medicine (v Shrek's County) with 7 mins plus added time to go...

Unlucky, Keiffer Moore...

Flint's goal. Good header

A disappointing display and a mad 2 minutes early in the second half from the Bluebirds but an amazing comeback in the last minutes sees them come away with a draw against a very average Peterborough United

Millwall next up and hopefully a few changes in the starting line-up

If we are happy scrabbling a draw away at the likes of Peterborough in the dying seconds of Injury time after being outplayed and 2-0 down, then there are serious problems.

Yes, I'll take a point over none, but it's a small club mentality that anyone can be overjoyed at this result.

Lets see how MM spins this.

Spot on Chris cannot understand how MM waited 25 minutes to make the Colwill / Harris sub it changed the game. Why wait 25 minutes. Aghhhhh.

But 4 points from 6 away from home I would have taken that.

Let’s be honest we weren’t good enough tonight, so a point can only be a welcome bonus. In all seriousness though the amount of time wasting and some of the decisions that Peterborough got away with was utterly farcical.

None more so than the yellow cards given to Pack and Flint, unbelievable.

Well he he certainly reacted after the shocking start to the second half. Dominated the last 30. Should probably have scored more. Few changes for Saturday. We'll be ok.

I must say this is the first time I’ve had faith in Mick McCarthy. He actually went away from his set in stone tactics and changed the momentum game, it goes to show we don’t need 5 in the back. Granted they sat back and invited it a bit. And he actually took off Perry Ng who put in an embarrassing performance. Both of which I never thought he’d do.

Oh come on, that’s the sort of result that gets you in the top 6 and if you don’t recognise that you haven’t watched much of the Championship.

5th place after 2 out of the 3 games played away. Two home games now, 4 points from that and it’s a hell of a start.
