MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF C V LEEDS UTD MATCH THREAD

FA Cup 3rd Round
Cardiff City Stadium
Sunday 8th January 2023 KO 2PM


Leeds the away team have been given 6,500 tickets and sold them as soon as they received them live on Sky on a Sunday.
Leeds would of liked more tickets.

Cardiff City the home club fans have so far sold Just under 10,000 tickets.






Who is out and who’s not?


Kion will be his first day on the grass tomorrow, it took longer than we thought, with a slight hamstring strain. He is unlikely to be seen against Leeds.

Robbo is off ill and under the weather, unlikely you’ll see him. Gav has been ill, Cedric has been ill. Mahlon has had a scan on his hamstring and he could be four to six weeks out.

There’s a lot that’s been going around. They have pushed themselves to the limit. When your body is empty you’ll likely pick up some bugs. Robbo has been off since the game.

Mark Hudson

Big blow Robinson out?

He is. He didn’t train before the game, we weren’t sure he would make the game before it. The way he was and the way the pitch was, if we played him longer we might have lost him for longer.

I understand his frustration, he wants to make a difference but you can’t if you’re out for four to six weeks.

Leeds home this Sunday:



Yeah, 6,500 coming down. I watched the team last night. They like to play counter-press football. A manager that is extremely enthusiastic about the way they play. It’s something to look forward to.

When you play a Premier League team you will be an underdog, but we have focused on how we can get forward and pose a threat.

It’s a team that we’ve done well against historically and we look forward to it.

What a time to play Leeds. Half the team either sick or injured never know a squad like it. Not their fault but something not quite right. WATTERS a striker gone out on loan when present striker can't hit a barn door. I'm sure it wasn't Hudson choice to let Sean Morrison go. Tan saving money again after all he has no respect for the Sala situation the man has no pride what so ever just money is his main love I can see Cardiff City becoming the most disliked team in the football league. No principles just low life board and owner not interested in Cardiff City FC. Mark Hudson has his work cut out to keep the team in the Championship.

Convenient illness bug in the camp - more like Kipre, Robinson and others being saved for the crucial Wigan game next week.

Mark Hudson has confirmed:

Romeo is Out for 4 to 6 weeks.

So we got 1st team strikers unable to score and so we ship two out on loan ????????

Mark Hudson confirmed on Thursday that Cardiff centre-back Oliver Denham aged 20, has suffered a slight setback in his return from injury.

Denham has been sidelined with growing pains in recent weeks and had been working his way back up to full fitness at Cardiff's Vale training base.

But his first-team comeback may take a little longer than expected after a setback this week.

Got to give it to Leeds fans. More than 6,500 of them will travel down for FA Cup tie at Cardiff City Stadium tomorrow, Leeds could if sold more if City had given them more tickets.

Just over 11,000 tickets sold to Bluebirds fans at present.


Let’s see if Cardiff can do it again under this Regime and beat Leeds United.

Fleetwood getting through to the 4th round,
Wrexham getting through to the 4th round,
Even Blackpool beating Forest getting there ffs,
Move out of the way Leeds / Cardiff surely won’t let us down

4 nil

Latest odds

Cardiff - 16/5

Draw 11/4

Leeds - 5/6

Mark Hudson says it is unlikely we will see Kion Etete against Jesse Marsch's men. Callum Robinson will miss the game through illness, with others such as Gavin Whyte and Cedric Kipre also under the weather. Mahlon Romeo will also miss out due to injury.

Isaak Davies could be involved after building his way back up to fitness after six months out. Sean Morrison has now left the club. Mark McGuinness is set to be recalled from Sheffield Wednesday but not in time for this match.



For Leeds, four players have been ruled out. Patrick Bamford, Adam Forshaw and Luis Sinisterra will miss the cup clash, while Stuart Dallas has just gone under the knife.

Didn’t matter when McGuinness was coming back , he was cup-tied !

Curtis Nelson leads the Bluebirds out.

Tom Sang with a fine challenge on Gnonto to stop an early Leeds attack.

OJO terrible ball in

Summerville is released and Sang is forced to make a challenge from behind. He seems to take the ball but the referee sees it differently. Yellow card.

Greenwood stands a free-kick up to the back post and Bagan nods over the top for a corner.

Gyabi shows dancing feet to get inside the box and let a shot off. Credit to Simpson who flies in the way of it. Corner.

Sang miscontrols the ball at the back post and the ball falls kindly for Summerville, who hits his effort from inside the box over the bar.

YES YES

A decent start by the Bluebirds against a Leeds side with obvious technical ability

Leeds have been rattled by some good moves and a physical approach and whilst the game remains 0 - 0 anything can happen

AND THEN IT DOES...!

GOAL: CARDIFF CITY: JADEN PHILOGENE

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 LEEDS
Bluebird Scorer: Jaden Philogene (24 mins)

Gnonto in the book for driving. Tries to buy a foul off Sang. Referee is having none of it. Booked.
