MATCH THREAD: : " BLACKPOOL v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

1-3 to the Bloobirds (philogene 2 Wickham)

We're off! Cardiff in their moody grey strip, playinf from left to right as I sit.

Rogers bursts down the right, it takes a good tackle from McGuinness to stop him.

Sawyers with a little chipped ball into a dangerous area. Nelson has to clear. It's a throw-in for Cardiff and Romeo will take.

Cardiff lose possession and Patino earns a free-kick. They reset.

Bit of danger there. A lobbed through ball over Perry Ng allows Rogers through, but his shot is horrendous. It hits the corner flag, almost, much to the delight of the Cardiff fans sitting beside me.

I hate to say it but I agree with Sir Alex here, hate the grey, players vanish when they're in the shadows.

Ralls does well to nick the ball off Bowler high up the pitch. It falls to Wickham, who shoots from 20 yards but it's well over the bar.

Another ball into Poveda over the top of Ng causing problems. Thompson lashes a shot and Kipre clears.

Patino hits a low cross and it's spilt by Allsop. Luckily for Cardiff, Ng is there to clear.

Wigan losing 1nil

Reading wining 1nil

Bowler with a good run down the right for the Seasiders. He cuts inside and unleashes a shot - but it's blocked by a brave Wintle header. Corner ball.

Huge chance!

Philogene works his magic on the left. He hits a low cross and Ralls gets a foot on it - it drops to Wickham just five yards out, but he steers it inches wide of the post!

Looks like the balloons have destroyed Wickham’s ability to finish basic chances

Wickham should have scored that

A strange start from the Bluebirds with some probing attacks nullufied by some strange goal keeping from Allsop

A free-kick finally given as Romeo is bundled over. A decent ball sees a Wickham attempt thwarted before the ball goes up and Allsop gives it away too easily

The Bluebirds go back up the field and should really have scored through Wickham

Patino booked. Huge tackle, feet looked up in the air. Visiting fans calling for a red, but it's just a yellow.

GOAL! BLUEBIRDS!

Great 'strikers goal' from Connor Wickham and one that needed a 6' 4" striker to take...!

That's just the tonic the doctor ordered...!

Patino challenge on Wickham. Studs high - Could have been red? Escaped with a yellow card

Two-footed tackle on Wickham by Patino sees the Blackpool player lucky only to receive a yellow card...

Joe Ralls playing very well so far today...

What a strike from Kipre. Great work from Romeo to win the ball high up and Kipre rifles a shot from 25 yards which stings the palms of Chris Maxwell.

City well on top now

Wow, Philogene dazzles again. Sits down two defenders before smashing a low shot - which is deflected for another City corner.
