MATCH THREAD: " BOURNEMOUTH v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREAD

COME ON THE MIGHTY BLUEBIRDS

A couple of heft challenges in early on. Cardiff drive up the right hand side but Ng concedes a free-kick. Begovic will take.

Joe Jordan is in the Stand, will be Bournemouths assistant manager

Phillips tries to pick out Josh Murphy with a long ball, but it's overhit and trickles out for a goal kick.

Game just settling into a pattern here, Bournemouth looking very comfortable on the ball, Cardiff not pressing with the ferocity they were against Preston.

Going to be a different type of match

Brentford 1 Sheff Wed 0

Dillon Phillips comfortably saves from a Stanislas free-kick from range.

Bournemouth the better team early on

Going to be a different type of match

Got home just in time and City appear to be giving Bournemouth a lot more respect at the start...

I'm sure there is a game plan and I'd walk away with a draw right now; but a win would make my week!

That was the first real chance of the game, Phillips used both fists to get rid of the ball

Yes we are Chris, better team than Preston

Cardiff look to break after a Marlon Pack interception, but Harry Wilson's errant pass cedes possession to Bournemouth and Ng commits another foul to stop their breakaway.

Ng given a couple away now

10mins gone Bournemouth the better team so far

NG another foul

Ng goes through the back of Rico once again. Free-kick to Bournemouth on the near touchline.

Rico whips in a lovely ball and Lerma is unmarked and powers a header over the bar. Worrying before the official flags for offside.

Harry Wilson has two goes at crossing it in but neither can find the target. Goal kick.

Cardiff now pressing

A bit of a midfield battle.

City giving away to many free kicks

Adam Smith hauls down Josh Murphy on the far touchline and it's a free-kick in a decent position for City. Harry Wilson to take.

Cleared easily.

City need to get it together more

Stuttering start here. Vaulks goes through Billing this time and it's a Cherries free-kick on halfway, but Flint mops up to win possession back.

City need to improve

Bournemouth looking more confident so far

Pack does well to spin his man in the middle of the pitch, but Perry Ng is offside as he tries to find him with the diagonal ball.

NG having a nightmare game so far against better opposition

Billing tries to slide the ball in behind the City defence, but Morrison does well to sniff out the danger.

Perry Ng squares a ball inside to Josh Murphy 30 yards from goal, but the birthday boy fires his effort miles wide.
