Bacunas place surely up for grabs for next Saturday. Surely he’s short of match fitness.

Moz is back! Our captain immediately makes a huge block to stop a dangerous counter. (0-0)

County concern

Bit of a breather as Bennett receives treatment after going down following a clash of heads.

Seems to be okay and Cardif will now have a chance to take a drinks break.

1nil City Joe Ralls


A stunning strike from Ralls

Nearly two

Ralls receives the ball at a similar range as last time, but decides not to shoot on this occasion, instead squaring to Bacuna inside the box.

Bacuna tries to set up Collins, who's lurking in the box, but his pass is astray and Cardiff are penalised for a foul.

H-T 1-0

Opportunities at both ends

61st min:


Plenty of subs for Cardiff

Vaulks, Wintle, Harris, McGuinness, Bowen and Tomlin replace Bagan, Bacuna, Pack, Ng, Morrison & Ralls.

Another good save

Cardiff win the ball well in midfield and break.

Vaulks gets a shot away but it's well turned round the post by Day.

Corner comes to nothing.

70th min: County changes

ON: Hall, Karadogan, Trialist 2, Livermore

OFF: Norman, Haynes, Hylton, Bennett

2nil Cardiff

Mark Harris

Lee Tomlin came on in the 61st min, by the 87th min Tomlin was limping??

Hopefully it was just a kick rather than a knee / calf / hamstring. We need him on bench

Ryan Giles has looked good

Going up as champions

A much better performance with Mozza back in the side
NG, Pack,Ralls Giles all played well.

Giles, bagan, ralls all played well. Harc to pick a man of the match

Looks like Tomlin has pulled a hamstring. MM stated after the game

Giles has put more dangerous crosses in this pre season than any of our wingers did all last season.

Get another like him on the right hand side, Moore and Collins will bag a shed load.

Looks like Tomlin has pulled a hamstring. MM stated after the game

Both Colwill and Murphy are also doubts for next weeks' game, with Kieffer Moore and Isaac Vassell also unlikely to play a part, although all have returned to training.
It's like an episode of Casualty.

I wonder if it's roughly the same covid/injuries amongst the other clubs in our division
