MY VIEW: WELL IT WAS A " 9 " GOAL MATCH WITH A DREADFUL FIRST/HALF BUT BBM MUST HAVE KICKED THEM UP THE BACK SIDES And we improved drastically, but not enough to stop City losing.

It looked like many City players had already gone on holiday.

BUT ANYWAY GOOD BYE DIV3 /LEAGUE 1 /CHAMPIONSHIP NEXT SEASON :bluebird:

CARDIFF CITY CHAMPIONSHIP HERE WE COME :bluebird:

KELLYMAN HAS TO RETURN ABD TROTT SIGNED UP.

What is worrying is our New Keeper Tyrer aged 24 and was a free agent.

NO Callum Robinson, Trott, Wintle and Ng in the team or on the bench.

BUT 3 @CF11Academy players were on the bench in 16-year-olds Robert Tankiewicz and Paul Moreno & 18-year-old centre-back Noah Williams, who came on making his debut iin the 70min :bluebird:

MANSFIELD TOWN: POSSESSION 31% SHOTS 12 / SHOTS ON TARGET 10

CARDIFF CITY : 69% SHOTS 20 / SHOTS ON TARGET 7

FIRST-HALF: CARDIFF PLAYERS LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD ALL GONE ON HOLIDAY ALREADY :cry:

Cardiff looked asleep, 2mins Moriah-Welsh's excellent ball to the back post was headed home by Sweeney for an early opener at One Call Stadium! 1/0 :cry:

21mins: Lawlor / Kpakio mistakes and asleep, Mansfield split wide open our defence 2-0 :cry:

23mins: 2mins later 3-0 again Akins :cry:

The match just became slow and boring.

Cardiff never once made the Mansfield goalie make a save :cry:

SECOND -HALF:

57mins Tripple Sub Joel Colwiil replaced by Kellyman
Willock replaced by Isaak Davies
Turnbull replaced by Alex Robertson

60th min GOAL, Isaak Davies great shot :bluebird:

3/1

63 mins Tanner gives the ball away and Mansfield slice our defence open 4/1 :cry:

Our Goalie Tyrer was falling all over the place :roll:

66mins Goal Kellyman shoots :bluebird:

and goes through Mansfield goalie 4/2

70mins Bagan replaced by Noah Williams making his debut :bluescarf:

75min a low son shot by Mansfield and Tyrer as a goalie Hmmmmmm 5/2

82mins Kpakio scores :bluebird:

5/3

92mins Kellyman scores again 5/4 :bluebird:

MANSFIELD TOWN 5 CARDIFF CITY 4

H-T 3 / 0

Crowd 9,401

Away Support 1,554

At least the fans will go home happy.

4 goals in a 5-4, championship next season and most of them on the piss :laughing6:

Bonkers game. Free hit. Who cares. Four goals and up we go! People should not read in to this result in any way.

Only worry for me is the performance of the keeper.

It all turned out not as bad touches, but to let in 5 against mansfield is still a horror for the fans who travelled, but hey ho, lets make sure we sign trott if nobody else though

Not judging any player off the back of that, it was a chaotic end of season match.

We were way off it, probably due to the players having a few drinks this week (which I don't mind).

But at least they didn't give up and only losing by one after being three down after 25 minutes is alright.

Well done to Mansfield, deserved to win.

But not bothered by the result, looking forward to next season.
