Match Thread " Wycombe Wanderers v Cardiff City "

Fantastic scrambling from Ojo. Cardiff again caught on the counter and Ebou Adams cannot stop his man. Hanlan looks to be in on the far side but superb sliding tackle from Ojo stops him!

Ojo plays in Ramsey down the right and the skipper for the day crosses the ball in. It's headed clear to Adams, who smashes a volley 30 yards over the bar.

Close! Grant with the cross and Ramsey tries an audacious chip over Stryjek - but it's cleared off the line!

Dale Taylor has a pop for Wycombe and it's deflected off Goutas - fortunately it goes straight into Allsop's hands.

We have a stoppage here for an injury to Hanlan.

Adams is forced to knock the ball out for a corner after some neat play from Wycombe on their right-hand side. Corner to the hosts.

Lovely one-two between Ugbo and Ramsey and the latter shoots first time. Stryjek holds it comfortably.

Ugbo heads back across goal from a cross and Jack Simpson gets a toe on it - but it's deflected out for a corner. City pushing here.

H-T 0-0

City still struggling upfront

Not the best game to watch

City are playing well but struggling to break down the Wycombe defence.

Simpson is struggling at the back.

Good first half from Ramsey, Ojo, Grant and O'Dowda.

On the basis of that half, have we improved much on last year? Not much. Ramsey looks head and shoulders above everyone else though. Adams however had confirmed my suspicions that he is not good enough. Yet again we need a number 9. It's all pretty stuff but nothing killer into a striker. Worrying really.

See its all about opinions, as I think Simpson has been steady,Grant quiet, Ojo an enigma, and ugbo has nothing in him to say he is better than Etete.

Good halves for Ramsay, Adams, Goutas, Odowda, Wintle.....

Can't say I'm impressed as yet!
We haven't made their keeper work much and the defence making a few missed tackles.
Yes we are the better team, with some decent build up play, but still appear to be lacking that punch up front.
I'd prefer to see O'Dowda in a more attacking role and Grant play more central.
Finally, uncertain about this midfield combination.
Should improve second half!

To be fair. We don't look like we've gotten out of first gear.

A 6/10 so far. Solid but unremarkable. Need someone to grab this game and wake it up a bit!

pre-season I know but we are looking very average 5 halves of football played now without a goal is concerning

Jacobson's set-piece effort is over the bar.

Same team

Good from Cardiff. O'Dowda, Ramsey and then Grant combine and the latter lifts a cross to the back post. Ugbo heads it at goal but it ripples the side-netting.

Allsop off, Alnwick on.

He’s gotta change it up now

Ramsey spins his man and lets one fly from 20 yards, but it's blocked.

Jacobson gets a standing ovation from the whole stadium as he's replaced

Robinson and Rinomhota on for Ramsey and Adams

Ramsey and Adams off.

Rinomhota and Robinson on.

McCleary pulls a shot wide of the mark.

Stunning ball down the line from Robinson and Grant has the freedom to drive towards the box. He unleashes a vicious shot and forces Stryjek into a very good save.

First proper shot of the game.

Fantastic effort from Jack Grimmer, who smacked a left-footed half volley on target, forcing Alnwick to dive and tip over!

Robinson and Grant are going to be very good up top. If Ojo plays like he can will also be an asset.

It’s not all doom and gloom.

Preseason under Warnock (year we went up) wasn’t great.

Etete, Tanner, Collins, Romeo and Evans on for Ugbo, Grant, O'Dowda, Ng and Ojo
