MY VIEW/OPINION

" IN A NEAR EMPTY CARDIFF CITY STADIUM/ CITY TODAY "

CARDIFF CITY SAW OUT A HARD FOUGHT WIN. :ayatollah:

A MASSIVE 3PTS AGAINST PLAY OFF RIVALS IPSWICH.

RUSSELL SLADES NAME WAS SANG TODAY BY THE DIED HARD CARDIFF FANS AND SO IT SHOsULD BE.

Even though Ipswich came for a win there were long periods of the game that were non eventful play.

Cardiff looked tired,did the high tempo Leeds game take it out of them?

3 hard fought points. :bluebird:

Russell Slade had to bring in Simon Moore to replace Marshall who came down with a virus last night.

CARDIFF CITY 1 IPSWICH TOWN 0

Crowd 15,175
Away support Approx. 1,200 Ipswich fans

Cardiff City : Moore, Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Malone, Whittingham, Ralls, O'Keefe, Noone, Immers and Pilkington.

Subs : Wilson, Morrison, Gunnarsson, Dikgacoi, Lawrence, Zohore and Ameobi.

City started this game still licking their wounds after their shock home defeat on Tuesday night to Leeds United,so today was about putting it right in front of the Cardiff Fans against fellow play off hopefuls Ipswich Town.
As City ran out to a near deserted stadium both teams for the first 15 played some good football and by the 18th minute a corner by Whittingham was headed in by Manga to make it 1-0 City.

Some good Football by Cardiff in the first half.

Ipswich came to win and this was keeping the game open, the first half finished with City deservedly going in 1 nil up.
Half-time CCFC 1 Ipswich 0 :ayatollah:
Ipswich started the second half looking for the equaliser and Malone kicked the ball of the line in the 57th min.

For the 20 mins we did not get the ball in their half :shock:
Then Scott Malone had a shot wide in the 65th min.

68th min Whittingham free kick saved.

71st min Whittingham off injured and replaced by Gunnarsson.

At times the match had boring periods.

82 min Pilkigton came off for Dikgacoi.

Full-time CCFC 1 Ipswich 0

My man of the match BRUNO MANGA. :thumbright:

Up next Reading away Next Saturday. :ayatollah:

Can't underestimate that win today, anything less and we'd be falling away. A huge win :ayatollah:

We deserved it, but it was scrappy.

What a great chance we have, and we can go to Reading confident :thumbright:

Disagree on MOTM, Peltier got my vote.

came to the football today, even though the schools were probably pushing the egg all week.

Why the negative headline and the pictures of empty parts of the ground.

Why cant you just embrace that we won and are doing well.

From what I have hered the atmosphere was decent again today.

Some people just need to have something to moan about

The atmosphere at times was dead,but when it did get going it was not bad for such an empty stadium, or did you not hear it yourself?

So what did you think of the game if you went?

As to negativity,dam right, the crowd was a disgrace for our team/club as they deserve far far better :thumbright: :thumbright: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird:

I didnt go today obviously hence my 'i hered' the atmosphere was good comment. Not sure what your trying to get at there though as Im sure Im not the only one who's missed games this season through other commitments.

My point is your constant negativity about our crowds is boring, just let it go and focus on the positives. We won today yet your title is named 'in a near empty cardiff city'.

I think Annis summing up is a fair reflection. I would add that for the first time in years I was confident we would hang on for the win as we seemed able to go up a gear if we had to.

Thought the Ninian was a credit to the atmosphere but again I'm left wondering where is the Canton?

The negative is again Ralls whose passing at times was awful and Malone who shit out of tackles again today.

Still the work rate was there and my MOTM was Lex who ran his socks off.
