MY VIEW / OPINION:
CARDIFF AFTER TWO CONSECUTIVE WINS, AGAINST STRUGGLING CHARLTON ATHELTIC TONIGHT, COULD ONLY MANAGE A BORING 0-0 DRAW.
CARDIFF HAD ONE SHOT ON TARGET ALL NIGHT / CHARLTON NONE.
But 7pts from 9pts is still good over all, but Charlton were there to be beaten and looked poor.
It took nearly 70 mins to see a goal-keeper make a save and it was a good one from the Charlton keeper after Adomah shot.
The last 20 mins Cardiff piled on some pressure, but wasted some good chances.
First-half: both goal-keepers had virtually nothing to do for the whole of the first-half, high light was Glatzel bang of heads with Sam from Charlton, sadly both went of injured. Quite boring.
Charlton fighting for their lives against being relegated.
Cardiff made 3 changes for tonight, with the visitors Charlton making 7 changes from their last matches.
CARDIFF CITY 0 CHARLTON 0
H/T 0-0
Cardiff City
4-3-3): Smithies; Sanderson, Morrison, Nelson, Bennett; Pack, Bacuna, Ralls; Adomah, Mendez-Laing, Glatzel
Subs: Etheridge, Flint, Bamba, Smith, Vaulks, Whyte Tomlin, Hoilett, Paterson
Cardiff were the better team for periods, but Charlton never stopped and defended well.
32nd min Glatzel banged heads with a Charlton player Sam Field, Glatzel was clearly shaken up. Blood coming from his forehead as the medical staff bandaged it up.
Field went off replaced by Darren Pratley.
42nd min, Glatzel went ff injured and was replaced by Paterson.
I dont remember a save from either goalies.
H/T 0-0
The game continued like it was in the first-half, quite dire.
No one striking at goal from either side, the game was so close, nothing in it.
Charlton nearly scored, but thanks to Nelson blocking the ball, it was on its way in.
Charlton made two subs.
Then Harris took Bacuna off, Tomlin came on.
Mendez-Laing went off, Hoilett came on.
First proper save came after nearly 70 mins.
Joe Ralls slid in, Adomah and the winger swung a left foot at it and sent it across goal, but Phillips stuck out a big left hand!
What a chance by Cardiff! A cross was fired in from Adomah and Hoilett, unmarked controled it just yards from goal. He swiveled it and hits it but it flew over the bar!
Unbelievable miss.
Cardiff had a free kick
Well welll over the bar by Lee Tomlin, like a rugby kick
85th min Ralls came off, Vaulks on.
City attacked but another chance went missing.
My man of the match Nelson or Adomah
