MATCH THREAD: BRISTOL CITY V CARDIFF CITY ' MATCH THREAD

Ralls whips another teasing ball into the Bristol box, but O'Leary claims.

Bristol win a freekick in a decent position.

It's about 30 yards out.

Probably not the right angle for a shot, so Scott instead drives a cross towards the far-post.

Can't find a Bristol head. Goal kick.

Bluebird faithful in full song, as they get behind their team

Bluebirds in the ascendancy and need to take advatage of a Bristol team that go close with a nicely floated free kick from the 22 yard line ( )

LATEST SCORE: BRISTOL CITY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Collins wins another Cardiff corner.

Doyle to take.

corner to city doyle takes it

even stevens

McGuiness heads goalwise. Goalie easy saves

Doyle delivers a decent corner that is beaten away before being sent in for an impressive melee that results in two headers from the Bluebirds that is eventually cleared

LATEST SCORE: BRISTOL CITY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Doyle's delivery looks very impressive so far.

Corner is whipped in at pace towards the near post, and Martin does well to clear.

Cardiff eventually work the ball back into the box, and Flint tries to tee up McGuinness with a cushioned header across the box.

The Irishman's header is on target, but not nearly powerful enough to trouble the keeper.

Atkinson is down receiving treatment and there's a break in play here.

Atkinson is unable to continue.

Not 100 per cent sure what the issue was, but he was down for some time.

He's replaced by Vyner.

Pack launches a long throw, Flint heads on and McGuinness tries to steer one in at the near post, but it's saved.

Cardiff hit the post

mguiness hits the post

Chance!

Pring lofts a ball into the back post and O'Dowda tries to get on the end of it, but it's steered wide! Best chance for the Robins so far.

Pack launches a long throw, Flint heads on and McGuinness tries to steer one in at the near post, but it's saved.

A great throw in from former Robin, Marlon Pack that sees a save from McGuiness

This is good, determined stuff from the Bluebirds, who are subduing the Bristol support

Bristol are not without threat mind, and the Bluebirds need to keep their concentratiin and focus at the back

LATEST SCORE: BRISTOL CITY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Collins booked for a heavy challenge on Kalas.

collins booked ref gives a yellow nothing in it

Decent start by City. My main concern is the presence of Pack, giving away cheap free kicks. Would have liked wintle in the team instead of him.
Doyle very promising so far.

Bristol City another change

Collins tries to slot a ball down the flank for Harris, but O'Leary comes out decisively and clears.

Harris then tries his luck from 30 yards but it's saved.

good try bristol player injured off the pitch came back on and went down king the cheat

Collins booked for a an elbow that was more clumsy than malicious and soon after Bristol's Scott goes down and makes a meal of a challenge he (Scott) put in on Collins and came off worse

Moments later, Bristol's Wales international Andy King is taken off for Jay da Silva in their second injury substitution

An odd one with King, as he goes off and then falls back on to the pitch with his serious injury (broken bootlace, I think)

LATEST SCORE: BRISTOL CITY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Get in.

Collins. 1-0.

Impressive today.
