MATCH THREAD: ‘ LEEDS UNITED v CARDIFF CITY ‘MATCH THREAD

It’s all Leeds

Come on City

Bluebird subs...

Romeo and Etete replace Ng and Ugbo...

Rinomhota and Etete on for Ramsey, Ng and Ugbo

I need a can

We need a lull in the play.

Come on get a 3rd

Need to kill the game off.

Etete makes a smart move but is unable to stop the ball going out for a Leeds goal kick...

The Bluebirds need some respite as the nerves start to be felt; but we should remembrr we are still a goal ahead and we'd have taken this position before the first ball was kicked...

Dan James and Gnonto go off for Poveda and Gelhardt...

LATEST SCORE: LEEDS UNITED 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (82 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Bowler (23 mins), Ugbo (39 mins)

Leeds huff and puff with intent but starting to look a tad jaded and frustrated...

Their support trying to boost them but currently drowned out by the travelling Bluebird support...

Taking Dan James off was a good move for us.

Never been so stressed in my life lol come on City

Taking Dan James off was a good move for us.

Very little end product on him.

Ampadu looks very good.

Six added minutes

The referee having a blinder here, thank goodness, as another Leefs player goes to ground looking for a penalty that clearly isn't...

The commentator said (in the first half) "There's the first Liam Cooper flop. I'm only surprised it's taken 39 minutes!"

6 minutes added time...

LATEST SCORE: LEEDS UNITED 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (90 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Bowler (23 mins), Ugbo (39 mins)

Bowler gains a foul on the half-way line, as the Bluebirds attempt to keep the ball up in the Leeds end...

Etete playing well and being a nuisance as the click ticks down...

LATEST SCORE: LEEDS UNITED 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (90 mins + 4)
Bluebird scorer: Bowler (23 mins), Ugbo (39 mins)

GOAL - LEEDS UNITED EQUALISER...!

Another Leeds melle around our box sees the equaliser squeezed in past the lefthand post...

LATEST SCORE: LEEDS UNITED 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (90 mins + 5)
Bluebird scorer: Bowler (23 mins), Ugbo (39 mins)

Sit back for the whole game bar two chances what do we expect. Good defending at times but nothing going forward and can't string 5 passes together although wasn't expected anything today so good point.

2-2

Has been coming

Gut wrenching

Fair play. We have given everything today. Leeds are a quality side. We aren’t going down. And if we can get some extra players in then we are going to be a handful for most

Would have taken a draw before the game. Can’t be too disheartened.

Gutting way to concede and time of it. But would have taken a draw and many positives from today

Gut wrenching

It is. But we would have taken a point beforehand I think Chris.

Decent performance and two goals.

Leeds had to go balls out to get a draw, some good stuff from City. A few players looked great, a few looked a bit meh. Im happy with a point, think a full Leeds team beats us

I believe our squad will get stronger before the transfer window closes and I think Leeds and Leicester will get weaker so a more realistic championship set of squads will emerge. We did really well. Leeds have top top players. A draw was a fair result but we will a challenge for all this season.

A disappointing end to a good game we led 2 - 0 at half-time...

Most of us would have taken a draw before a ball was kicked and I had £5 on a Bluebird win, so ultimately disappointing...!


FINAL SCORE: LEEDS UNITED 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (90 mins + 6)
Bluebird scorer: Bowler (23 mins), Ugbo (39 mins)

Hope we put a performance in against QPR with how well our first half was!

Bit hard to take is that, realistically though a point away from home - against a relegated side, is a decent result.

Some superb individual performances, Adams has got some engine on him.
