Cardiff City knew going into this game, that they would go three points clear of their place with a win.

Neil Warnock made one change from the team that won at Barnsley, with Loic Damour replacing Aron Gunnarsson.

Etheridge, Manga, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Damour, Bryson, Ralls, Paterson, Hoilett, Ward

Attendance: 25,210 with 1,305 Cardiff City supporters :thumbright:


The match started evenly, with Callum Paterson shooting wide after five minutes

The first yellow card came after 14 minutes when Armand Traore was booked for Forest

Manga cleared a Dowell effort into the box after 19 minutes. It was a good free-kick move by Forest

Cardiff City took the lead after 24 minutes when Junior Hoilett headed in after a Sean Morrison flick-on from a free kick :ayatollah:

On 29 minutes, Forest should have been level but Murphy shot over the bar from ten yards out

Forest thought they should have had a penalty in the 35th minute when Manga appeared to handball in the penalty area

Cardiff City made it 2-0 on 38 minutes when Danny Ward scored a brilliant goal from more than 20 yards :ayatollah:

Two minutes were added at the end of the first half

Half time - 2-0 to Cardiff City thanks to goals from Junior Hoilett and Danny Ward :ayatollah:

Joe Bennett required medical treatment on 56 minutes after falling awkwardly

With half an hour to go, Forest had the majority of possession but were struggling to trouble the Bluebirds

Walker should got a goal back for Forest on 61 minutes but Etheridge saved comfortably after a poor shot

Paterson headed just wide from a corner in the 63rd minute

Paterson booked for time wasting in the 66th minute

Morrison made an important block from a Carayol effort in the 72nd minute

Manga shoots straight at the goalkeeper on 75 minutes

Peltier replaced Bamba in the 78th minute

Halford replaced Bryson in the 82nd minute

Forest nearly got a goal back in the 83rd minute, but Dowell mis-kicked from close range

Gounongbe replaced Ward after 85 minutes

Six minutes were added at the end of the match



FULL TIME: Cardiff City come away with a very efficient 2-0 win at Nottingham Forest and move three points clear of Sheffield United in third :ayatollah:

Neil Warnock was (rightly) ecstatic when he approached the remaining fans at the end of the game and they showed their appreciation in true City style! :ayatollah:

A happy day for Neil Warnock (he got his tactics spot on), for the players (they did their jobs and some more) and for the attending fans (who played their part in getting behind their team in a way we need more of at home) :notworthy:
