MATCH THREAD: “ CARDIFF CITY v PRESTON " MATCH THREA

Marlon Pack lumps a hopeful ball forward and Moore challenges and wins it, but is flagged for offside. Would have been in there.

We should be hammering them by now, brilliant over all football by Cardiff

Cardiff look to break but just as Bennett tryies to play Murphy through he veers offside. bennett wins a throw-in though.

What a one sided first half so far

Nice little passage for Preston there, but it ends in a lobbed ball into Ched Evans dribbling out for a goal kick.

How the hell is this still only 1nil

Boro beating Reading 2-0

City the more dominant side so far and playing some nice football; although Preston have had the odd foray into Bluebird territory

5mins till h-t

Preston just getting back into this. The high-octane style of Cardiff's press just catching up with them a tad.

The second-half, we must continue to play like we did and we will score more goals

H-T 1-0

It almost sounds churlish to be a little disappointed with a half-time lead; but the Bluebirds cold/should have been ahead by more; or was that Moore?

A good first-half performance, where the Bluebirds were the dominant side and left Preston looking for the ball on several occasions

Lost our way the last 15 mins, but how the hell its only 1-0

Signs of old Marlon starting to creep back in too many easy back passes.....Pass it forward.

Front three defending from the front has been excellent.

As I said after the last game, we look a different side playing 3 at the back and I am also impressed by Dillon Phillips in goal. He looks so assured.

C'mon City Onwards and upwards

Wow... oh to have a competent manager.

Starting both halfs well... getting the best out players.

I'm sorry to bring him into but just how bad was Harris?

McCarthy proving to be a masterstroke just wish he had come in earlier i feel we would have had a much better chance at playoffs.

Even if Harris was slightly competent to have got the odd win during those bad runs we would be right up in the mix by now.

And another great early goal in the second half, as Josh Murphy is fed from the right and cleverly strikes the ball past the Preston keeper from outside the lefthand side of the box...
