Fish needs to come off.

Fish needs to come off.

take kpakio with him jesus having a mare

H-T 2-2

Cardiff born Charlie Crew has caused big problems

Fair 2-2

Doncaster have taken it to us

An odd first half, as the Bluebirds showed their ability but failed to capitalise before Doncaster took the lead. We came back into it though, and two very good goals gave us a deserved lead!

We had opportunities to go further ahead but some poor final ball was our undoing, as a plucky Doncaster slipped through our defence for a second time to equalise!

HALF-TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 2 DONCASTER ROVERS (45+3mins)
Bluebird scorer: Omari Kellyman, 25 mins, Cian Ashford, 34 mins

A very good game so far. I think Doncster deserved their equaliser. They have a pacey attack and are causing us problems. Our defence looks a bit slow without Lawler in the centre. Kpacio is pretty quick but often gets caught out of position. As has been said before, I’d like to see him playing in a more forward position as he has the skill.
Looking forward to the 2nd half…. Fingers crossed we come out on top.

Totally agree

The word is sloppy. We were in total control at 2 v 1 and weve let them back it in to it. Need to step up a gear second half. If we are to be champions these are the games to be ruthless in.

They’ve played a very high line, and have pace. Surprising they’re struggling, bizarre league this. If you compare these to Stevenage.

Fish needs to come off.

They are pressing Kpakio as soon as the ball is going to him and he doesn't know whag to do.

Fish reaction time is so slow today. Their number 9 seems to have moved across to play on him.

Their number 7 causing Bagan problems everytime he gets the ball.

We have a very very strong bench

The goals against are a horrible watch. All 4 are jogging. All 4 are turning away like women.

Id get NG on and give Fish & Chambers a bollocking

NG and Lawler on. Good shout.

Unsure with Isaak was taken off

Subs: Tripple

Dylan Lawlor, Perry Ng and Chris Willock on.

Will Fish, Ronan Kpakio and Isaak Davies off.

Cian Ashford again with a scintillating run. He gets on the outside of his marker and drills a low cross. Yousef Salech goes to pull the trigger but Luke Molyneux sticks it behind for a City corner.

Unusual for BBM to make triple early subs. But it makes sense. Lawlor should improve centre defence and Ng knows his role and positional play…. Now lets go!!

Salech header over the top

GOAL! BLUEBIRDS!

Yousef Salech!

GOAL! Cardiff City 3-2 Doncaster Rovers (Salech 50)

Goal! Salech converts this time!

What a ball by wintle

Close! Omari Kellyman with a strong run through the middle. The crowd urges him to should and he obliges.

Lo-Tutala leaps to his left and tips it around the post.

Freekick City

A little stoppage in play here. Dylan Lawlor, who has been on less than 10 minutes, went down off the ball holding his head.

He looks like he will be OK to carry on.

Alex Robertson whips the free-kick straight into the goalkeeper's hands.

Saved easily

Alex Robertson goes in the book for a bit of a rash challenge in the middle of the park.

Double Sub Doncaster

Charlie Crew replaced a shock

Alex Robertson goes in the book for a bit of a rash challenge in the middle of the park.

Replay showed that he pulled out of it but the ref wasn't to know that I guess.

Ben Close goes in the book for pulling down Omari Kellyman.
