TEAM NEWS “ CARDIFF CITY v NEWCASTLE UNITED “ MATCH THREAD

25 mins.

We have held our own against what looks like a big strong Newcastle side. Newcastle seems to just have the edge as they look a bit more sharp going forward. When we go forward there seems to be a lack of support. Hopefully as we gain more confidence we will become a bit more of a threat going forward.

Shelvey MOTM so far. He is dominating the middle and putting in some defence breaking passes.

Newcastle have got away with quite a few worse than dirty fouls

That should have been a straight red for the kick on Camarasa

How did the ref miss that

Blew up for the original free kick & turned away.

HT 0-0 .

H-T 0-0

A good half for us although I think Newcastle edged it. It will be interesting to see how Newcastle come out 2nd half and how we react as I'm expecting a different tactic from them.

Blew up for the original free kick & turned away.

Just watched the replay & he was looking straight at it, or through it.

Arter is class. Like a second captain. Always speaking to the ref (seems respectful) and all over the place.

Murphy, improve his delivery and what a player.

Lastly, we're supposed to be dirty. f**k me. All Newcastle have done is kick us. Red tmfor Kennedy without a doubt. Manquio possibly off too, pulled Murphy to ground every time!

Pundits before game saying Newcastle top 10! Wow. Thought Rafa liked to play football. What was that?!

Harry Arter is everywhere!

Dennis wise saying that Kenedy will get 3 games respectively for that. Coming from him. Lol.

I know. I thought we were the 'dirty' team? Wow. They've killed it every time.

Straight red no doubt but could he see through the player ? Unfortunately lino in opposite half so couldn't see it.

Camarasa looks a player too.

Doing the simple things. Just keeping the ball moving. Proper midfielder.

We're doing alright but this newcastle side has been pretty poor. Our midfield is already looking much better, arter breaking up play and camarasa dribbles and passes well. unfortunately our attacking still needs much improvement.

70 mins.

Newcastle down to 10 men and up against it as Cardiff have dominated 2nd half. Just lacking that killer instinct up front.

We need a striker!!

PEN MISSED NEWCASTLE

FT 0-0.
