I always say it's all about fitness.

Roma are behind us in preparation for the new season too, their season starts a week after our first league game.

But a good confidence booster for the team in the last friendly.

Agree with most you say but not sure Ng would have been sent off. Penalty awarded so would it have just been yellow. Grey area of the law

Yes totally agree Annis. I thought Tanner had a great game today also.

Well done Cardiff ,thought Roma were poor to be honest.Dont know much about about them but was that strongish side.
Once again well done Cardiff

Watched the game via Portuguese channel Sport TV 2.

Great result too....

Plus we saw new players like Ellie King... Olay Tenner....Ezak Davey and last but not least... Runna Cackio..

Or was that just the foreign commentary

Just got home,

we dominated that game apart from 5/10 mins when they missed there penalty,
osho my man of the match and Ashford a close 2nd great fitness performance,
but we are desperate for fresh faces as soon as.
