MATCH THREAD:: " CARDIFF CITY v WEST BROM " MATCH THREAD

What kind of team has MM put out there. Weakest I’ve seen us field in a very long time. Plan seems to be to park the bus to not concede and hope to score from a set play. Plan went out of the window within 5 mins. Going to be a long evening.

Karlan Grant again cuts inside and tries his luck, the carbon copy of his goal, but this time Flint gets in the way.

Cardiff throw-in. It comes after Collins tried to play in Giles behind the Baggies' defence.

Vaulks to launch one.

A decent series of attack, including a corner, sees a Bacuna header saved by the WBA keeper

A little bit better from the Bluebirds


LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 1 WBA

Off the line!

Vaulks crosses one this time and Bacuna thunders a header back across goal, but it's denied by some good defending.

Cardiff pressure

Another Baggies breakaway through Ajayi on the right.

It finds its way over to Robinson on the left and he drags it on to his left foot in the box, but his shot from a tight angle is saved well.

Collins booked for his challenge on Conor Townsend in the air.

Sadly, James Collins is havung a bit of a mare here. Whilst huffung and puffing alone up front, he is constantly giving the ball back to the opposition to turn attack into rapid defence and has now got himself a Yellow Card for a foul on the WBA defender

Giles lays it off to Vaulks, who hammers it straight into the wall. Sigh.

City earn a free kick on the edge of the WBA area and their player gets a deserved Yellow Card

The resulting kick is back-heeled to Giles who batters the ball into the WBA defensive wall before it is cleared away

WBA then run straight through the City midfield to threaten again but the ball is out out for a corner, which is them clearedcaway

HALF-TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 1 WBA

0-1 half-time

Mick resign you dour, depressing dullard.

To be fair, the last few minutes were a lot better and we had opportunities to draw level...

Or WBA had chances to pull further ahead...

Hmmm, glass half-full or glass half-empty...?

Chris think the question need to ask yourself is? If you were him would you do any better with the kind ball hes getting plus playing on his own must be fun for him? There is no qouesion with the play.... we've almost got in but the final ball is not there as per usual.... only good thingbus they've not done a lot and we've still got moore Harris and colwill to come on... besides Collins giles is suffering from same problem lack of decent ball ... tbh games been boring be glad to get home later tonight

First 25 mins was dire, but in fairness City (despite lacking quality) came back into it.
With a bit of luck it could (and maybe should) be 1-1.
Mc Guiness needs to start every game. Giles and Bacuna have done quite well, and Collins works hard. Not a fan of our “style” of football but come on Cardiff!

We have done well to get back into it. From the off we looked nervy and an paid the price for it.

There is still hope we can get something from this. However, I can only see that happening if the Baggies drop a gear and make a few mistakes.

1st half dogshit can it get any worse I doubt it. Even a corner be a bonus or there keeping having to make one save

Still got big guns to come on if mick plays them?

Just hoping for a flick on from a throw in or a set piece and a goal all this line up is and system he's playing irrelevant who comes on but yeah unless he changes the formation god knows

City stepping it up early in the second half and go close with a genuine chance...

Brown then puts one over the bar via deflection and the resulting corner is pushed out, sent back in fir another (corner) but that is cleared also

Better though...

Nelson this time does excellently to bully Callum Robinson off the ball as he tries to pull away down the right.

Own goal Nelson 0-2

GOAL (WBA)

Judt when it looked like the tide might turn, it seems WBA had other ideas and the increased their lead through an own goal from Curtis Nelson

Moore and Harris warming up on the sideline...

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 WBA

What the f**k was that about like ping pong between our own players and Nelson sliced it in our net. Jesus wept I can't help but laugh how shit this is

Bloody hell

Dont get it they go 2 up and wba react with 2 subs what does mick do? SFA pathetic.

A smart interception from Aiden Flint keeps WBA from going further ahead

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 2 WBA

Massive chance.

Robinson breaks and ghosts into the box. He has Albion players queuing up to score, but his cross hits Flint and is cleared.

Should have converted that.

What a joke.
