MATCH THREAD " CARDIFF CITY v BURTON ALBION " MATCH THREAD

Lots of chances

One or two groans of disapproval from the Cardiff crowd after a couple of passes go astray.

The pace has dropped after a quick start.

Swansea are 1-0 down at MK Dons.

Burton Albion have settled into the game, here. City's early dominance has relented

1-1 now.

Dam Burton scored 0-1

1-0 Burton. Naylor.

Tom Naylor drives into the box from the right and fires it into the back of the net.

Warnock unhappy

Akins has been really sharp for Burton so far, but Bogle matches him for work rate at the other end, winning a free-kick to relief some of this Burton pressure.

Neil Warnock not happy with referee John Busby. Or with his side at the moment.

Yellow card for Cameron Coxe

It’s been very flat from Cardiff in the past few minutes.

Warnock is ranting and raving at the officials, who’ve given every 50-50 call Burton’s way. But his team must offer more.

Newport lead at Leeds

Kennedy and Ward have swapped wings for the time being in the hope of some joy.

But Burton’s full-backs have barely moved. They’re defending and countering with a great deal of effect.

Newport lead at Leeds

Tomlin slices wide after a promising counter-attack, Much better from City.

So close for Cardiff. Lee Tomlin is teed up on the edge of the box but his shot is just wide.

Cardiff fans growing frustrated with referee here. A symptom of Cardiff's lack of thrust in final third.

Burton playing some nice stuff at times, one-touch and pulling the Cardiff defenders here and there.

But a great ball from Tomlin sets up Kennedy... and the Bristol City man gets it back... but guides his shot inches wide!

Good play though.

Some noise from the Canton Stand, as the fans try and lift their players. Halford and O’Keefe haven’t been able to dictate the game from midfield.

The absence of Ralls, Gunnarsson and Damour in that midfield is being felt, for sure.

Jackson Irvine curls a left-footed shot way over the bar from outside the area.

Burton lead 1-0 at half time

And deserve it

Looks like Omar Bogle has switched to left wing for the second half, with Danny Ward down the middle.

Coxe left for dead on the far side and another Burton attack is stopped by Richards this time.

Tomlin tries to set Ward on the run for a counter but the Bluebirds are thwarted. They can’t get anything going at the minute.

On target from Tomlin, but it was never going to threaten the keeper. Hopefully a catalys

Poor touch from O’Keefe lets Burton off the hook and the yellow shirts come forward again.

Ward just isn’t getting on the ball though, not even now he’s moved up front. Halford gives away a clumsy foul.

O’Keefe this time on hand to mop up when Cardiff’s defence was caught on its heels.

Connolly not having the best night tonight.

2-0 and that's all she wrote .. time to concentrate on league
