MATCH THREAD: “CARDIFF CITY v SHEFF UTD " MATCH THREAD

Moylan stabs a pass into Cian Ashford, who is central and 25 yards out. He lets the ball run across him before firing low. It's too close to Cooper, though, who dives low and gathers comfortably.

Great save! Joel Bagan chops in from the left and whips a dangerous right-footed shot bound for the top corner. Cooper flies and palms it away!

Yes 2 /2

Ashford

Perseverance from Tanner paid off there.

Perseverance from Tanner paid off there.

Fair play it did

Rubin Colwill releases Tanner, who is in a footrace with Mark McGuinness - the former Cardiff man just about wins it and slides in with a good tackle. Tanner would have been in, otherwise.

Another breakaway from the hosts. Cardiff look dangerous when they do counter.

It's Rubin out to Moylan, who tries an outside-of-the-boot cross in towards Salech and Colwill, but there's too much on it. Goal kick.

Very entertaining from both sides, United have come to attack

United player should off been booked

We're the better team. Come on boys, a win is on the table.

H/T 2/2

Enjoyed

Fair scoreline over all

Cardiff finished the Stronger team

A chance to take a breath. Quite the half that was.

Brilliant first half, opening them up with ease. 2 outstanding saves from their keeper from Moylan and then Bagan. Cut out the silly mistakes at the back and we win this.

We're easily the better team so far, feels like we've had about 15 shots.

Two uncharacteristic mistakes by Robertson punished but otherwise very pleased.

We are the better side and played some lovely football at times but we cant defend like those first 15 mins. Penalty a little harsh but didnt need to challenge.

The key difference is that every team in the championship can expose you defensively. We were outclassed in that first 15 minutes and Robertson was exposed in the 6 and Osho looked indecisive again. Could be a long season!

Poor internet again today but that was one of the best first halves I’ve seen for a while, despite some schoolboy defending and poor passing

Two good goals for us, interrupted by two defensive howlers from us that included an obvious penalty

Moylan and Bagan combined very well on the right and if Salech took a chance and ran into the goalmouth a little more, he could have had a hat-trick already

The Bluebirds were the better side, but defensive frailties exposed us again

Thoroughly enjoyed the game (so far) though!

HALF-TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 2 SHEFFIELD UNITED (45+2 mins)
Bluebird scorers: Jack Moylan (2 mins); Cian Ashford (30 mins)

We are the better side and played some lovely football at times but we cant defend like those first 15 mins. Penalty a little harsh but didnt need to challenge.

Sorry to say but that was a nailed on penalty & we can't have any complaints about it.

We've played some great football but our set piece play has been pretty dismal.

From 15 minutes onwards we settled into our rhythm. We’re much better when we’re on the ball in their half, with the ball well away from our goal. We’re not going to be a team that goes 1-0 and hangs in for the result, that’s for sure!

Out for a smoke...First ten to fifteen minutes all over the place couldn't win the first ball or the second ball but the two center halfs don't know eachother really nore has the new boy gone through any play I'm guessing.

After that we have dominated really so enjoying it so far. Although I have no doubts with them playing two strikers one on each center half they will probably get a chance over the top of us. We can win this if we get a grip of the midfield in the 2nd half and keep winning the battles. The set piece have been awful at times again though . Delivery like something from a Sunday league

Bluebirds

Jamie Shackleton and Kalvin Phillips on for the visitors.

Crowd looks awful on CBS.

Playing well though. Give them two goals.

A good start by City

Tanner shoots, saved

Jack Moylan puts Japhet Tanganga under pressure and the Blades captain is forced to head out of play. Barry-Murphy leaps and punches the air in appreciation of Moylan's pressing.

End to end

Cardiff having more and more off the ball
