MATCH THREAD: “ CARDIFF CITY v PRESTON MATCH THREA

Kion Etete is clearly pushed but the referee waves play on and it's another goal for Preston...

Very poor from the referee and linesman and Etete is booked for querying just after Erol Bulut is booked for showing passion on the touchline...

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 PRESTON NE (40 mins)

Our defending is awful

Unbelievable 2nil

Confusions, frustrations.

What is wrong with this club playing at home? Nothing up front and how many times have we said this?

2-0, and should have been a free kick.
What a joke of a referee decision that is.

Two hands on Kion, pushed through the back, nothing given.
They go and score.
Absolute joke.

The push on Etete before the goal was obvious. Shocking refereeing. 2 nil is not deserved.

Game over

Please don’t keep saying give the manager a new contract. No Rubin and negative team selection.

As soon as we conceded one goal they have been all over us

Please don’t keep saying give the manager a new contract. No Rubin and negative team selection.

How is this on the manager? They've had two shots and scored both. Referee to blame for the second

Huge tackle from Collins on Potts there to stop another breakaway from the visitors

H-T 0-2

Unbelievable 2nil

But it's not unbelievable. Like I said after 10 minutes we're just too slow going forward and nobody crosses the ball.

How we are 2-0’down is madness.
They’ve literally had two chances, scored both. Absolute sucker punches.

Don’t even get me started on the foul in the build up to their second.
How the referee has not given it, is absolutely madness.

We were in control for 30 mins

Then collapsed

As I said team selection. Colwill and Ramsey on the bench!

City booed off at h/t and then the ref was

Hopefully not see Bowler come on 2nd half I said before he should be sent back

I’d be getting some subs on pronto

How did that happen...?

In control for large periods but two goals down at the break...

HALF-TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 PRESTON NE (45+2 mins)

Need calm heads at half time. To be two down is undeserved. We have to up our tempo and go out them all out second half. As daft as it sounds I can still see us winning this game as we haven't played that badly

We were just too slow going forward with zero crosses into the box & never looked like scoring. How long have we said that possession stats doesn't win games if you don't score when talking about other teams? It applies to us as well.

Can see both Ramsey and Colwill coming on at HT

Bulut out!

Preston have done absolutely f**k all and have run away with it.

The issue here is Bulut and his tactics and selection. Too weak up front, not enough width and no wing play, no crosses into the box.
Yes, we dominated play for 30 minutes but got nowt.

Bulut won't take risks with his formation - Etete clearly needs another front mam with him and Bowler needs to play on the left.

Anyone bar Bulut can see we need to play a 442 at home. He's not making the best job with players at his disposal.

We lose this and its 14 defeats already this season. I think Bulut is on thin ice.

Ramsey coming on

Ramsey coming on

Good to see...

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 PRESTON NE (46 mins)

Millar gets the better of Ng and hits a cross/shot - but Alnwick parries away.

Siopis with a shot from 20 yards, but it's too easy - again - for Woodman.

Wilson-Esbrand's first contribution sees him chop inside and hit one from 30 yards. Blocked.

Completely. Classic example of INSANITY. Play the same formation and keep getting the same sh#t results. How the fk do Wintle and Etete get into this team?
