Match Thread " Cardiff City v Bristol Rovers "

Robinson the stand out by far imo, always looking to do something or make a run, passing been pretty solid as well

Full time in the first 60 minute game and it finishes 1-1.

City struggled the first 20 minutes but grew into it and were the better team in the second period of 30 minutes.

No major surprise there. Robbo will be an important player again for us. Not just his goals but his link up play and assists.

Tanner is looking good

O'Dowda, Tanner, Colwill and Ugbo showing good quality in the first half

Collins is a bit rusty, which is understandable.

City have been totally dominant so difficult to judge the likes of Goutas and Benjamin.

Half Time in the second game and a dominant City lead 1-0

Looks like King, Davies and Campbell will be coming on for the second half.

Davies, Campbell, King and Watters on for Ugbo, Collins, O'Dowda and Goutas for the final half an hour

Big mistake by Benjamin and it should be 1-1 by Marquis' close range effort is off target

Watters has a close range shot saved

Colwill found with a lovely pass from Watters and he spins his defender in the box, but his shot is blocked.

Joel Colwill and Tom Davies on for Rubin Colwill and Xavier Benjamin for the final 15 minutes
