'MATCH THREAD :CARDIFF CITY v SHREWSBURY ' MATCH THREAD

Someone tell them that Kenwynne doesn't play for us any more

Good to see Kennedy on

Have to laugh at some of the predictions on here, such as City to win by four or five goals. Can only assume that some posters have been watching a different Cardiff City to me this season.

Noone on for Fabio .

and people wonder why mecheda isnt in 1st team?

Fabio to Macheda and a terrible finish

The clueless tw*t is playing Kennedy f*cking LB.

Honestly the guy infuriates me. Useless tw*t.

Has Ameobi got two left feet??

No doubt Slade will find positives from this game, he always does.

I cannot see where the club is going from here, Tan has lost interest and seems to take pleasure in inflicting pain on the supporters.

Slade is just a puppet and in my opinion is well out of his depth.

The future is bleak I am afraid

What f*cking shape are we playing with No one and Kennedy on the right wing?!? Wtf?!?

Why is Revell and Ameobi still on the f*cking pitch.

Mason on now for Revell

Kennedy is right back

Time to go f**k this shit I'm watching awful football

What f*cking shape are we playing with No one and Kennedy on the right wing?!? Wtf?!?

Honestly its a f*cking joke mate, most managers would just throw caution to the wind and go for it, not our Russ he thinks the best option is to play a Winger at RB fs. The sooner he's gone the better

there is just no urgency and havnt been all game!

Can't we put Slade out on loan?

Can't believe Kennedy is right back. It's a joke right?

3 mins added on time ...

3 minutes added on at CCS

3 weeks wouldn't make a difference.

FT = 0-1 .

Worth remembering this is a Shrewsbury team 20th in League One, and they lost 7-1 to Chesterfield last weekend.

Shameful and embarassing.

Great advert for Welsh football, Swansea and Cardiff both stuffed today

Cardiff City’s Emirates FA Cup campaign ended on Sunday evening, Shrewsbury Town coming away from Cardiff City Stadium with a 1-0 win.

Russell Slade made nine changes from the Bluebirds last outing, a home victory over Blackburn, for this FA Cup Third Round match.

The first chance fell to the visitors as former Wrexham striker Andy Mangan wriggled free but he couldn’t hit the target in the first minute of the game.

City’s first chance came in the 14th minute when the strike duo of Federico Macheda and Alex Revell combined, with the latter eventually having an effort blocked. From the resulting set piece Bruno Ecuele Manga saw his half-volley drop just wide.

Target-man Revell then had another chance as the Bluebirds worked the ball wonderfully down the right-hand side with Scott Malone squaring for Revell, and he went close from six-yards. The striker, who recently returned from a loan spell at Wigan, had a further opportunity moments later. Macheda’s long-range effort was spilled by Halstead, with Revell’s shot from an acute angle saved by the Shrewsbury ‘keeper.

The lively Sammy Ameobi couldn’t have gone much closer when he hit the post from Peter Whittingham’s lay-off; in the closest the two sides had come in the last major action of the first half.

The deadlock was finally broken in the 62nd minute when striker Mangan rose highest at the back post to nod home Scott Vernon’s cross into the corner.

Former Manchester United man Macheda had City’s best chance to level the match, but he found his shot saved by Halstead. Despite late pressure, the Shrews held on to end Cardiff’s FA Cup hopes for 2015/16.
