MATCH THREAD: " DERBY COUNTY v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Kpakio finds Cian Ashford on the edge of the box and the forward lashes a low drive. It's blocked.

Fraulo booked for a nasty challenge on Robertson.

Come on this game is def there to be won

Rubin Colwill off, David Turnbull on.

Cian Ashford off, Chris Willock on.

It’s even stevens

Moylan goes down after a driving run. Lewis Travis with the challenge, but the Irishman is back up on his feet. He has gone more central since Ashford and Colwill's departures.

David Turnbull with an excellent defensive set filling in at left back there. Wins Cardiff a goal kick from Fraulo.

Moylan, who is more heavily involved in that central role, hits one from 20 yards with his left. Nice strike but always rising. Goal kick.

Derby double sub

Moylan down injured & is coming off, the younger Colwill takes over from him & Tanner is subbed at the same time.

Moylan has to come off, slight knock?. Joel Colwill coming on.

Isaak Davies also on for Tanner now

The game has gone a little flat compared to the first half.

Chris Willock chops in from the left and whips a fierce cross to the back post. Just a little too high for Salech.

We've done our best, taken the lead twice but as usual, our defence has let us down.

If Derby take the lead for the first time, it's game over.

Time you filled your glass up, it's half empty......

Derby
Johnston has just fired over the bar after great work from Hedges.

Morris bullies Kpakio off the ball and suddenly Cardiff are exposed. Again the hosts don't make the most of the opportunity and Cardiff recover.

Max Johnston booked - pulling Willock's shirt on the breakaway.

Willock draws another foul, this time from former Cardiff loanee Sanderson, who gets cautioned.

We look like we're playing for a draw now.

I know it’s an emergency right now, but when everyone is fit, Kpakio should be used as a winger rather than a full-back. It’s such a difficult level to learn your trade as an attacking full-back. Take the pressure off, let him develop with some cover behind him, or loan him out to a level where he can really express himself and continue to progress. I’ve no doubt he’s going to be a top player, probably Premier League level in the coming years.

Why do we prefer to play for a draw instead of trying to score? We got to their area but refused to get it in box? If you cant back yourself to keep opposition out whats point in playing? Yes great point but could been better they were there for the taking.

Fantastic Result.

Anyone suggesting we could have won it were probably suggesting we were gonna lose due to the defence.

We will be much happier than Derby.

Low crowd for them??

I don't know what to say about him it's not a lack of quality he looks like he totally switches off at times. I don't think he needs to express himself it's a lack of discipline, risky passes in the wrong area and a lack of awareness the header back to Trott was criminal. Going forward he's obviously a top player

Why do players just turn back on the attacker? If he faced him and put foot out its blocked 2 of them just turned and didn't attempt the block?

Just watched the goal again and you're spot on.

Ashford let us down, he should have put his body on the line, but he stuck a lazy leg out and turned his back to allow him to equalise.

Tanner's work for our second goal on the other hand was superb, working back to win the ball, then starting the move. Tanner never lets us down with his desire and work rate. He would have blocked that shot in Ashford's position. How anyone can criticise Tanner is beyond me.
