My View/Opinion
CARDIFF CITY TONIGHT ALWAYS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE GOING TO GET THE 3PTS & ARE NOW 5 MATCHES UNDEFEATED IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP
CARDIFF CITY ARE CURRENTLY JOINT 3RD FROM TOP IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, YET THE CARDIFF STADIUM WAS TONIGHT LIFELESS & LOOKED LESS THAN HALF FULL
Sean Morrison was magnificent tonight. The skipper was winning absolutely everything in the air
Yes over all a very flat game, but positive is City never had to change gear
First-Half: Very scrappy and lacked quality, BUT Cardiff City in the last 10mins took total control of the game, with Armand Traore and Sean Morrison scoring the goals
Bolton were very poor and never tested Etheridge in the first-half.
Neil Warnock made big changes tonight with Madine out injured, Warnock started with Kenneth Johore and Jamie Ward upfront, whilst Sol Bamba was on the bench.
CARDIFF C 2 BOLTON W 0

Marko Grujic, Callum Paterson ,Jamie Ward,Junior Hoilett ,Kenneth Zohore.
SUBS: Brian Murphy,Sol Bamba,Joe Bennett ,Loic Damour,Liam Feeney,Yanic Wildschut ,Anthony Pilkington.
After only 12mins new striker Jamie Ward was injured and had to be subbed with Wildschut coming on.
In the 20th min Brilliance from Zohore. He held the ball up marvellously despite the attention of Beevers and played a perfectly weighted through-ball in for Wildschut, who’s one-on-one with the goalkeeper, but he hit it straight into his leg
The game was becoming a bit lifeless along with the stadium, with no quality on the pitch, very scrappy.
Then bang 35th min from no where City went 1-0
with Armand Traore scoring for City
Traore looped the ball over the Bolton goalie
Cardiff took control and nearly scored a second Morrison headed towards goal following Traoré’s flick-on, but Alnwick tipped it wide.
44th min 44 - GOAL!!! Sean Morrison marked his 150th Cardiff City appearance with a goal! 2-0 City
Bolton were yet to really test Etheridge.
H/T 2-0
With in mins Manga headed on to the Bolton crossbar.
Most of the second-half was very flat.
Pilks came on for Zohore.
Yes a flat game over all, but 3pts are what matters
F/T 2-0
Sean Morrison was magnificent tonight. The skipper was winning absolutely everything in the air - and that’s not easy against a side as physical as Bolton.
MY MAN OF THE MATCH SEASN MORRISON
