MY VIEW TODAY CARDIFF CITY SHOWED THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY AND DESERVEDLY TOOK THE 3PTS


BBM made 5 changes :


Cardiff started the day 2nd from Top against a Mansfield side in 13th and on a run of 3 defeats in a row.


A WELL DESEVED WIN / SALECH COULD OF AT LEAST HAD A HATRICK:

Excellent passing and football like we were in September.

Cardiff had dominated and deserved their lead in the 34th minute after brine and time again Salech had headed at goal

GOAL! Cardiff City 1-0 Mansfield Town (Fish 34)
Joel Bagan swings in a corner to the front post and Fish gets in ahead of his man and buries a header smartly into the bottom corner.

A WELL DESERVED H/T LEAD 1-0


Mansfield were the better side for long periods m:

62mins Joel colwill replaced Isaak Davies

Willock replaced Robinson


GOAL! Cardiff City 2-0 Mansfield Town (Salech 69)
GOOOOAL! Salech finally gets his!
Rapid breakaway from Cardiff. Dylan Lawlor drops a fantastic ball over the top of the defence for Ronan Kpakio, who does excellently to lob a cross to the back post.
Salech nods home from close range!


City then created chance after chance

Salech should of scored again.

80 mins Robertson replaced Turnbull

86 mins Cian Ashford

90 mins Kellyman replaced Salech






CARDIFF CITY 3 MANSFIELD TOWN 0

H-T 1-0

Thought we moved the ball so much quicker today and it makes such a difference, credit to turbull he gets some deserved stick but thought he was a lot better today and to be fair we could have scored 5 or 6,

We certainly did, like we did in September

A great win, very solid all around. Some real strength off the bench, also.

We need to win that game in hand.

Excellent today, more goals would have been nice but everyone would have taken 3-0 before the game.

The massive difference in this league is our defence, we struggled to score last year, but also conceded for fun. We are free scoring some games but also not conceding many

Stevenage are an example of what a good defence can do, only a point behind but run a tight ship.

Pleasing to see Turnbull finally step up, brilliant today along with so many. If they got a goal back we could have been in trouble, their keeper in fairness deserves credit

Good game from everyone & even the ref did well being invisible for most of the game. Mansfield had a good 15 minutes at the start of the 2nd half but we weathered the storm & they have their keeper to thank for it only being 3-0 with some excellent saves.

The right sort of performance against a team that sit back.

We were patient, but effective.

Very happy.

I think a few of our lads are struggling with the switch to L1 from U21 and the championship. They definitely let a bit more than the championship

Warnock's promotion team ( i know championship) would be unbeaten in this division as they were ruthlessly professional and physical.

I must be watching a different game. Turnbull is a half hearted player who wants out imo. Yes one cracking shot, but there were many other opportunities to shoot. Doesn't want to tackle and gets caught in possession. Him and wintle don't work too static. Kapakio needs to be starting as a winger. Looks dangerous going forward compared to Davies and Ashford.
