MATCH THREAD: " OXFORD UNITED v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

Metre just a little bit to slow

Cardiff fans very loud

Chambers FFS, if we play along the back because you are supposed to be a ball player, play the fcuking ball !!!!

Throw to Oxford and Will Vaulks launches it in, we know how dangerous that weapon can be. Meite clears it.

Goutas forced to clear a cross with his head. Another long throw comes in from Vaulks. Half cleared from Bagan and Goodrham volleys well over the bar from 25 yards out. Gavin Ward has already given a foul to Cardiff in their own area, though.

All Oxford at the moment. Cardiff not got out of their own half in the first seven minutes.

As maybe expected, the home side start the game with purpose but the Bluebirds defence are up to the task so far…

A decent in-swinging corner for Oxford looks dangerous but is cleared upfield…


LATEST SCORE: OXFORD UNITED 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (8 mins)

Nothing from Cardiff after 10 mins

As soon as Cardiff get the ball, the hosts set up in two deep banks of four, with Harris pressing the centre-backs on his own. Cardiff have trouble breaking down that sort of low block with a lack of pace.

Not liking this so far.

I have to say though Oxford look like a league 1 Club

Just No Quality from both sides


Real dearth of quality from both teams so far. A lot being contested in the middle third of the pitch.

Meite had two chances then

Not liking this so far.

TWO SHIT SIDES

A good effort sees Meite go close and the Bluebirds almost follow up with a goal…

The closest yet to a goal for either club…


LATEST SCORE: OXFORD UNITED 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (15 mins

Oxford in their last 6 games have conceded an average of 4 goals per game

Willock and O'Dowda combine on the left, the latter sends in a low cross which is cleared. Better from Cardiff.

20 mins in Cardiff now look the better side

Cardiff controlling the game now

Robertson whips it in - Vaulks heads clear

Cardiff just passing it about now

Some great play sees the Bluebirds steam up field and a great switch of play threatens Oxford; but the cross is mis-handled by Willock, who only succeeds in giving the ball to an Oxford player…

The ball is won back and recycled though and the Bluebirds and Colwill in particular, finally start to threaten properly….


LATEST SCORE: OXFORD UNITED 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (21 mins)

Meite working hard but needs to learn to finish

Cardiff controlling the game in Oxfords half

It’s all Cardiff but needs to be in the box

O'Dowda is found on the overlap again and sends in a dangerous cross - but Meite overruns it.

We’re doing well but everything is so slow
We should be putting 2 or 3 on these. They are shocking

We offer nothing in attack…. Their no.7 is lively but they seem to be the same nothing in attack

Oxford now having a spell with the ball

Every club beats them so come on Cardiff
