MATCH THREAD: “ CARDIFF CITY v BURTON ALBION " MATCH THREAD

Anyone else as frustrated as me?

Me because Burton are dreadful

And I really am expecting us to give them a hammering

We've obviously dominated and created plenty in the first 20, should have taken one of those chances.

Burton looking slightly dangerous on the break but only one real save for Trott.

Burton defending well but they will get tired.

Didn't think it was a foul for the Salech disallowed goal.

Still confident we'll easily win this.

People thinking we were gonna blow Burton away were always gonna be dissapointed we struggle against a low block, we need to move the ball quicker it's all a bit slow so far

We need to score, if they score I fear we will struggle to get past once they shut up shop.

We’ve had chances, but their set pieces could pose a threat as the game goes on. Get one and it’ll open up space

On another day, Salech might have had a hat trick! I thought that the goal should not have been disallowed.
Fair play to Burton, almost totally outplayed but they have stuck at it and, amzingly, could have been 1-0 up.
Pretty confident about the 2nd half. But….
although the midfield has been ok, I still don’t much like the Turnbull /Wintle central combination.

Turnbull gives the ball away so much!

Agreed

I’ve been so disappointed with him in a city shirt, looks sluggish, gives the ball away and doesn’t hit the target enough

just seem to slow down when we are in the final third

hopefully after the break the wingers might actually try taking on defenders

Burton are definitely here for a point

Much more exciting watching City play this year though. The more and more BBM influence this team the better we will become. We are going to batter someone soon.

Colwill on for Turnbull early second half.

So 4-0 isn't a battering? What is a battering exactly? More than 4?

Bluebirds

This referee is getting in the way far too often

City attacking and in control

Ashford straight at Burton goalie

Get ashford off for f**k sake. How can you miss that

Salech really getting stuck in

Get ashford off for f**k sake. How can you miss that

Absolute sitter!

Willock playing well

Burton being allowed to attack us now

Bloody hell we gave them the ball

Got it back

Willock shot saved

City No penalty NG

Wasnt a penalty - but thought it was obstruction and an indirect FK

Burton substitution

He blocked Ng off, it would have been soft but that kind of soft penalty has been given against us.

I think the best option is to just get promoted to the premiership and hope the referees are better than here and the championship. I thought they were poor but mostly consistent last season, the majority this season have been poor

Come on City

Colwill, stops and passes the ball sideways on every attack! Have a go yourself, try shooting for a change, so frustrating. That's why he's not in the Welsh squad, lacks confidence imo. I hope he scores tonight

This match has such an ominous feel.. if you don’t take your chances you get hurt

Won't need any slo mo replays with everything we do being so slow. Even when they go forward we're so slow going back at them that they have 11 players in their half before we get there. I'm seeing a 0-1 score line with some crazy deflection or a penalty going in for them.

30 minutes left & their keeper is already wasting time, frustrating us no end.

Turgid is a good word to describe this, the crowd are starting to get frustrated as well.

Callum Robinson would of been good v Burton
