MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v BURNLEY " MATCH THREAD

I think we surely have to cut BBM some slack on the defending?! I can’t remember us having such an injury crisis to this extent ever!!!

Well its a Strong Cardiff team today

Strong on paper, but not strong if your 2 centre backs are playing with an injury.

Burnley with 11 men behind the ball for the next hour & we won't be able to break them down.

Derby Won last night, Burnley beating us, Preston Winning, Who was saying that we are not in a relegation battle already

Joel Bagan is strong to win the ball high up the pitch. He clips a floated cross in to Rubin Colwill, who has to put all the pace on his header. He sends it over.

Fish left on his own Non Stop, we look DREADFUL DEFENDING

No leadership either
Absolute shambles.
Ashford, Tanner , Colwill

Such a high line only 1 defender we lose the ball then 1-1 . Happens to often this season.

Any bets on us coming back to win this? Thought not! We can't defend for

No leadership either
Absolute shambles.
Ashford, Tanner , Colwill

Web won't get one as BBM does not want a Real Strong Leader

Rubin Colwill uses his tricky feet to fashion some space and dink a cross to the back post. Moylan gets up but Kyle Walker expertly heads clear.

Ollie Tanner wins a corner for City.

YES WEVE SCORED RUBIN

And it looked Off side

2-1
Fortunate goal, well take it
Colwill -I apologise , for the time being

2-1
Fortunate goal, well take it
Colwill -I apologise , for the time being

Would have been disallowed by VAR but we'll take it. Maybe not on 4th viewing.

Goal given to Tanner.

as deflected off him

Would have been disallowed by VAR but we'll take it. Maybe not on 4th viewing.

H-T 1-2

ALL TO PLAY FOR

Need to get Bielik off at halftime for Scanlon and put Bagan back in the centre. There's 0 pace in this CB partnership and it's an accident waiting to happen!!

Waiting to happen?

We need to defend on the counterattack. NH and Began need to help out.

Yeah agree . Both CBs are clearly struggling

We are so vulnerable on transition. This problem is not being sorted, yet with the ball we are excellent. Take a draw now if we can get it.

Draw,yes please

There is a Burnley player on the goalline too.

Waiting to happen?

I meant before the game even kicked off!!

Lawlor, Bagan or Osho need to partner Fish and Bielik you could see that wouldn't work and that's without them both carrying knocks.

Both like to be aggressive and win the ball and neither have pace.

And? There has to be 2 which can include the keeper but he was well ahead. Anyway I said maybe not after seeing it again, could have gone either way even with VAR.

Apparently we haven't beaten them at our place since 2012.

Dont worry on 80mins salech will come on and its all hands to the pump throwing crosses in on a wing and prayer one will land on his head!

Huge double chance for Cardiff! Willock's cross to the back post finds Ollie Tanner, whose diving header is tipped half clear, but only to Moylan, who has an open goal to turn into. But he can't get enough on it and it's cleared off the line by Ekdal!
