Annis Abraham : CARDIFF CITY BACK DOWN TO EARTH WITH A BANG
” CARDIFF CITY BACK DOWN TO EARTH WITH A BANG ”
Personally I thought over all we deserved nothing from the game.
So Millwall win their first game from their last 9 games.
I bet City to win this game, I was given 12/5 odds

City were looking for their 3rd win in a row under new manager Russell Slade and What I do like about him is that he had tried to keep the same team every time and consistency can help big time usually.
Millwall had gone 8 matches without a win 😯
The match for me was always going to be a tough game at Millwall and both side were even for the first 20 minutes. Le a Fondre missed a sitter on the 20th minute and after that Millwall then stepped up a gear, it was then all Millwall for a while.
In the 37th minute, Le Fondre had a shot saved and then did a over head kick, it honestly looked like one of those attempts should of gone in.
41st minute Marshall was beaten and by a whisk Millwall missed going in to the lead.
0-0 half time and prob over all a draw was fair.
Millwalls goalie Forde made a couple of good saves.
Le a Fondre, needs to be taking his chances better.
The second half started with Millwall going forward and in the 54th minute a clear header from a set piece put Millwall 1-0 up and Marshall looked all over the place and was left sitting on his back side.
All you could hear from the ground then was Millwall Millwall Millwall.
Millwall then continued to press forward and had a shot of target, then 58th minute Millwall player Gregory had a shot over the bar,his finishing let him down,all one way traffic .
In the 61st minute Slade did a Double sub for Cardiff Nicky Maynard and Ravel Morrison on for Macheda and Le Fondre.
But it’ continued to be all Millwall with more shots at the Cardiff goal.
With 10 minutes left for me, Millwall clearly were deserving their lead and controlling the game., the second Hal so far they were far the better team.
In the 80th minute Milwall goalie Forde made a big issue of a slight challenge by Pilkington, pathetic in my opinion, nothing happened.
Millwall continued to go for a second goal and were more and more in control and should of by now been 2 nil up.
In the 88th minute Craig Noone fired a shot over the bar of the Millwall goal.
4 minutes of injury time and Millwall pressed again.
So Russell Slade’s first defeat and in my view we deserved nothing from the game.
Millwalls first win in their last 9 games, City can’t win away.
Manga man of the match, but over all a poor team performance.
Well it’s Leeds United next at home and hopefully the usual 3pts :thumbright: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:
