MY VIEW TONIGHT : A VERY TIDY & PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE BY CARDIFF CITY AND YES WE ARE TOP OF THE LEAGUE AND DESERVEDLY SO.

THE LEAGUE TABLE NEVER LIES :bluebird: :bluebird:




We’ve scored 35 goals at home, more than any other side in the EFL

That's 9 WINS / 1 DRAW from City"s last 10 home games :bluebird:


Barnsley had only Won 1 Away game in their last 8, whilst Cardiff had Won 8 / Drawn 1 in their last 9 Home games.



CARDIFF CITY POSSESSION 63 % SHOTS 15 / SHOTS ON TARGET 6

BARNSLEY 37% 6 AND 4



My Man of the Match Joel Colwill :bluebird:


With in 3mins :bluebird: GOAL! Cardiff City 1-0 Barnsley (Ng)
Omari Kellyman sweeps the ball out to Ollie Tanner, who finds Perry Ng on the overlap.
The right-back does well to control it first time, before rifling it into the roof of the net from a tight angle. Top finish!


15mins: Open goal, What a Miss by Tanner.

29mins: Great shot by NG, just over.

36mins: Save! Nathan Trott has had precious little to do so far, but he had to be on alert there.
Davis Keillor-Dunn with a thunderous effort from 20 yards and the 'keeper had to fly to his left and tip it over the bar.

Robertson, looked like he might be sent off for a 2nd yellow card, thankfully Ref never.

45mins: GOAL! Cardiff City 2-0 Barnsley (Willock 45+1) :bluebird: :bluebird:
GOOOOOAL! Chris Willock!
Right on the stroke of half time. Cardiff win possesssion after a scrappy Barnsley throw-in and Omari Kellyman carries towards the visitors' box. He slides in Chris Willock, who has only Tennai Watson to beat.
He shimmies and sits Watson down before picking his spot in the bottom corner. Cool finish.






First/Half City 53% Possession Barnsley 47%

City 6 Shots Barnsley 4



46mins: Turnbull on / Robertson off


Barnsley got more in to the game.

But GOAL! Cardiff City 3-0 Barnsley (Kellyman 63) :bluebird:
Gooooal! Kellyman with a lovely finish.
David Turnbull spreads the play out to Chris Willock, who chops back in-field before slotting Omari Kellyman in.
Kellyman does well to take a touch with his right before quickly sliding the ball beyond Owen Goodman into the bottom corner with his left.


70mins Triple Sub:Ollie Tanner off, Cian Ashford on.

Joel Colwill off, Isaak Davies on.

Omari Kellyman off, Callum Robinson on.


77mins Ronan Kpakio on for Joel Bagan.


Robinson had two good shots in last mins of extra time

Dominant night really and looked like winning ever since the first goal.

Barnsley were poor, but we made the most of it.

Good to score four goals.

I think tonight showed the skilled passing and timing of kellyman up front , this is such a quality he has and set up some lovely passing for the goals , and I know salech is a good finisher but he isn’t so great with his touches on lay offs , kellyman was class tonight
Hope salech recovers soon and is getting a well earned rest
Yes me too Monty , see you at burton :bluebird:
Annis hopefully see you at Plymouth :bluebird:

BBM taking Robertson off at half time was top management. Not the first time he's done it either. I bet it pisses Robertson off, but excellent decision making for me!
