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

It’s all calmed down now match mainly in midfield

Stoke called for a penalty by Kumas down

Def not

Stole had a very good chance

Cardiff need to go back to attacking

Stoke player getting treatment

Stoke have had the last 10mins but nothing to worry about

I think Salech is going to do well in this league, seems built and up for it

Dam dam

You could see it Cardiff just defending

I would still like a 3rd to give us a bit of breathing space

2-1 and it becomes edgy

GOAL! STOKE!

Lewis Koumas with a well taken effort!

The Bluebirds need to take the sting out of this game now and settle down. Stoke are starting to find their feet!

LATEST SCORE: STOKE CITY 0 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (42 mins)
Bluebird scorer: Rubin Colwill, 7 mins, Yousef Salech, 20 mins

Stoke get one back, it's been coming.

I really should shut my mouth

Def

Riza has let us sit back and Stoke took control

El Ghazi is pointless at this level

Was offside just! But slack marking .... meed to be bit quicker when attacking.

We totally allowed Stoke back in to the game



H-T 1-2

Koumas tearing us apart

Stoke finished the stronger

Ramsey is gassed !!!!!!!!!!

Koumas is lively!!

El Ghazi is pointless at this level

You mean the guy who put Rubin Colwill on for his goal?

It’s moments that win matches and Anwar El Ghazi had one!

Half-time whistle goes with the Bluebirds in front!


HALF-TIME SCORE: STOKE CITY 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY (45+ 2 mins)

Riza has let us sit back and Stoke took control

Not sure you can blame Riza for that, Stoke woke up after going 2 down & our defence was weak from the start. We did seem to slow it down a little though. And Stoke had the ball in the net first but it was disallowed.

Decent first half.

Two great finishes for the goals. Salech is showing the difference a proper striker makes, just watch his movement and it shows what we're missing.

Good goal from them to be fair, Koumas is causing us problems. Half time came at the right point for us, they were building momentum.

Can't see Ramsey playing much longer, looks off the pace at times.

I thought we slowed it down aswell just pointed out our attack needed to be quicker and we will score again.

And nothing else, barely helps the rightback, Koumas is killing us down there. He isn't good enough anymore

Rinomhota needs some help on our right hand side.
El Ghazi is a hindrance.

I think it was just Stoke upped their game after the crowd got on their backs.

It was also Riza who has us winning 2-1 at half time....

Agree. Not the biggest fan of Meite but at least he does the defensive work.

If we play like we did the first 25 mins We will Win

Ramsey is gassed !!!!!!!!!!

We’re winning and both Rambo and El Ghazi have played their parts!

I’m not sure anyone expects Rambo to last 90 minutes and it would be a daft thing at this point in his long recovery from injury; but it so far appears that Omer Riza has made the right decision by playing both from the start with (good) options to bring rested players off from the bench

After last weekend, I think the Bluebird players have done well to rebound and put in this performance (so far)

It wasn't a criticism its an observation, we were sitting deeper and deeper, he is knackered ... Thats all, of course he is going to be he hasn't played for a long time
