MY VIEW: PRESTON NE versus CARDIFF CITY
Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2020 1:13 pm
After a bright but fairly tame start, the game got to half-time without any real incident the than the injury to Greg Cunningham that saw the welcome introduction of City new boy, Harry Wilson and a half- chance for Moore
Half-time: Preston NE 0 - 0 Cardiff City
The second half was a different animal and was helped when City took the lead through a fine goal from Sheyi Ojo and made by Keiffer Moore
The defensive performance of today cannot be underestimated and it plays almost as big a part in any team's strategy as the attack and once the Bluebirds took the lead, the whole team contributed to maintaining it to get City's second away win of the season
This was overall a display very reminiscent of performances from the latter part of last season and City looked as comfortable as they might controlling Preston to plenty of ball but few real chances
It certainly is an odd day, as had City lost or drawn, I feel sure there would be some very vocal individuals decrying all that City do; such is City's style of play that the result is all empowering and thankfully today all was good
Final result: Preston NE 0 - 1 Cardiff City
