MATCH THREAD: “ PORT VALE v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Nearly own goal by Chambers

Chambers is scaring me to death

Port Vale by far the better team

A free header for Vale

Chambers as centre half not for me I do think trott best player on the park for us at min

Agree on chambers at centre half, he just makes me nervous. Much prefer him in centre mid.

Still 0-0 more through luck than judgement.

We are very lucky Port Vale haven't scored yet

Trott gave the defenders a bollocking for not dealing with a corner

We are not defending these corners well.

Wintle was too late tracking the attacker

Two free headers. Wintles man, twice. This is my gripe with him, he's too soft. Great passer, getting handed off like a wet wipe.

Big difference today is that we are up against men and away from home. Peterborough also had a young team who tried to play football. We played great and were better than them but this time they are much bigger and more physical. I’m sure Bbm has a plan for this but it’s going to happen this year

Some great play by Port Vsle sees the ball played in, only for Chambers to intercept with a header that isn’t that far wide of the Bluebird post with Trott scrambling

The resulting corner sees Port Vale with a free header, but thankfully it’s no goal

Port Vale come back again, and currently they are on top of this game with (thankfully) no reward

LATEST SCORE: PORT VALE 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY ([37 15 mins[/i])

Out muscled in midfield wintle nowhere to be seen

Defence is awful, all over the place.

Chambers looks SO unfit!

Chambers is having a mare.

We need a couple of real tough players

Chambers is NOT a CB. Everyone can see it. Hope the manager is not going to be stubborn and carry on playing him there.

Shocking dive by Tolaj

Tanner needs to come off, he’s having a mare

Only good things so far:


It's 0-0

Trott looks good

Getting every pass wrong in the final third. Getting every second ball wrong in defence.

Tanner needs to come off, he’s having a mare

Agree, his final ball has been shocking

Our overall play in the final third is abysmal. How about having a shot on target?

Joel Colwill lucky not to get booked

Tanner needs to come off, he’s having a mare

Agree, his final ball has been shocking

It's not only him they're all usless tonight getting ball in middle... not one decent ball

Turnbull and Davies on half time please!

Chambers is having a shocker, tanner and Willock abysmal so far

Port Vale will be livid they're not winning yet

A lot of work for BBM to do at half time

A lot of things have to change or we're losing this

The Bluebirds a little lucky to go into half-time level

I’ve been impressed with Port Vale’s attacking, but with a little more application, we could have gone into half-time in front

Brian Barry-Murphy with some talking to do right now!

HALF-TIME SCORE: PORT VALE 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (45+2 mins)

Really lucky it's nil nil they've out muscled us in midfield playing 5 in midfield against 4 always have the spare man needs changes half time

It’s all about one thing and that’s because they’re too physical for us.

They’re bossing the midfield for that reason.
