MATCH THREAD: “ NORWICH CITY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

[Forever Blue]

First-Half: Possession Norwich 75% Cardiff 25%

[brickyblue]

Norwich spent 14.4m this year... City 650k. There's the answer

Thats the difference our squad is just not good enough but we have to keep believing. Not enough money spent on players what did they expect.

[Plymuff Bloobird]

We need to pick up points consistently now v the lesser clubs

[Lengee]

This is a far better line up for 2nd half….. comeback??

[piledriver64]

When will our managers learn that if you play Ralls instead of Rinomhota you will get overrun in midfield.

He’s just not up to it.

[Forever Blue]

Three changes for Cardiff.

Rinomhota on for Romeo. Kaba on for Wickham. Etete on for Ralls.

[Forever Blue]

Its all Norwich

[Forever Blue]

Oh my goodness. Carnage!

Woeful ball from Kipre and Norwich are away. Idah is played through the middle. Allsop dithers and takes ages to decide to come out, meaning Idah can roun him. McGuinness is sprinting to get back on his line, but Idah puts it over the bar with an empty net in front of him!

[Forever Blue]

Post!

Sara with a diagonal ball over the defence and Hernandez volleys first time. It shaves the post!

[Forever Blue]

Cardiff look lost

[Bluebird1977]

All teams below us now losing thank god

[Forever Blue]

O'Dowda with a nice run down the left, but his cross is blocked.

[Forever Blue]

Pukki on for Marquinhos.

[Lengee]

If Idah had gone down earlier then our goalie might have got a red! Should be 4-0. Norwich have had 2 golden chances.

[Plymuff Bloobird]

We look clueless yet again.

[Forever Blue]

Kaba does well to feed Philogene, who just takes a little too long to deliver the cross and it's blocked.

[Forever Blue]

We look clueless yet again.

My worry is this squad is not quality, it is as the table says, poor and NO Quality

[Forever Blue]

Wintle is gifted the ball 20 yards out, but pulls his shot wide of the mark!

A Norwich player scores that. That's the difference.

[Plymuff Bloobird]

Yes it is poor,like I mentioned earlier we need to pick up points v the lesser clubs and definitely our relegation rivals.

[Forever Blue]

Kenny McLean down after a heavy challenge. Been better from Cardiff, though, a lot more pressure - again without much end product.

They need a goal to show for it.

[Forever Blue]

Gibson's header back to his keeper is dicey and Gunn has to clear under pressure from Etete. Cardiff throw - but they waste it.

[Forever Blue]

Tzolis and Giannoulis on for the Canaries.

[Forever Blue]

What a save!

Cardiff cut open down their right and Giannoulis slots it in for Pukki, who looks to tap home, but Allsop makes a fantastic save with his left foot from point-blank range.

[Welshman in CA]

Wintle is gifted the ball 20 yards out, but pulls his shot wide of the mark!

A Norwich player scores that. That's the difference.

You would think so but they've managed to miss at least 3 open goals in this game, we should think ourselves very lucky to only be 2 down.

Without a doubt we are 2nd best

[Forever Blue]

Kaba wins a free-kick 20 yards out. Perry Ng likes it...

[Forever Blue]

Ng's free-kick is tipped over the bar! Close.

[Forever Blue]

Kipre booked for a foul on Pukki.

[Lengee]

Normally our centre halves are good. But, today, the distribution from Mc Guiness and Kipre has been awful!

[Logie]

Some good moments in the first half, goals seemed to have knocked the team. I wasnt expecting much, just want to see some positives, maybe nick a draw
