MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v STOKE CITY " MATCH THREAD

Oh lovely from Ralls, who slots a pass in to Kaba. But his shot is miscued and Bonham touches it wide. Goal kick given, though.

We are so shit at home.

Its all Stoke

So, so predictable this performance. No energy or clue at the moment

A hopeful ball down the line looks to have released Ralls - but Connor Taylor does well to stymie the attack.

28 mins gone, Stoke are in control , City need to get stuck in

Romeo with a poor pass to Ng high up the pitch. Cardiff gift a throw to the visitors in their own half

Kaba



1-1

Full-blooded from Ralls. Goes in hard on Connor Taylor and misses the ball - right in front of the away fans - it's a yellow card.

Cardiff look to break and Wintle tries to spread with ball with a low, volleyed pass. But there's too much on it for O'Dowda and Cardiff lose possession

O'Dowda does brilliantly again up against Hoever. The ball is shepherded out for a goal kick.

Another fortuitous chance almost falls for Kaba. Etete places the ball through a couple of defenders' legs and his strike partner looks to be in - but Bonham is quick off his line to gather.

Wintle with a stunning cross-field pass to Kaba, who drives at the defender before cutting inside. He looks to shoot but the ball is just nicked away from him.

Etete goes in the book for a heavy challenge on Pearson.

Ralls, Etete, Sawyers all been booked for reckless tackles

H-T 1-1

Sounds like we're lucky for 1-1!

Not a great half. Awful first twenty yet again. Scored out of nothing. It's a game there to be won but will happily take this scoreline too.

Kipre drives through the middle, powerfully, and tries to slide a ball into Wintle, but there's too much pace on it. Right idea, though.

That ball from Morgan Fox to Campbell, over Ng, is killing Cardiff. campbell just cannot take it down quickly enough and it's a goal kick. But Stoke are definitely targeting that area.

What a miss! Ng with that trademark diagonal ball into the box and Kaba latches on to it, but he miscues it slightly and Bonham saves brilliantly with his leg!

Great work from Romeo. Slides in to stop Tymon's cross, but it's a corner.

Corner to Cardiff. Fantastic work from both O'Dowda and Romeo.
