But in my opinion made hard work of beating a very very poor Leeds side,but at the end of the day 3pts are 3pts,so well done City,City not really tested today though,but as they say, you can only beat what’s put in front of you.
You have to say Well Done Slade, 9pts from his first 12pts.
” CARDIFF CITY 3 LEEDS UNITED 1 ”
Crowd 24′,220
City line up v Leeds: Marshall, Brayford, Fabio, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Pilkington, Le Fondre, Macheda. Subs Moore, Gabbidon, Connolly, Ravel, Ralls, Jones, Maynard.
Cardiff City brimming with confidence after winning their last 2 home games on the trot, faced a Leeds United team who had not won since the beginning of September.
One minutes silence for the British Soldiers Poppy appeal from the fans turned in to City fans calling Leeds fans scum for singing during it,but apparently it was the Leeds fans on the concourse singing we are Leeds.
Leeds fans taunted City fans with you use to be Blue,now your red. :bluescarf:
City started the game brightly and had the ball 99% of the first 15 mins in the Leeds half, Peter Whittingham had a free kick saved.
Whittingham was given a free reign by Leeds and they were allowing him to much space,I think Whitts should of taken advantage of it.
There was Strong appeals for a penalty from the City support as Macheda appeared to be held back inside the box,but nothing was given?
City had a a free kick,Whitts took it and Le Fondre headed it well wide.
First half for me,Leeds were not just poor but very poor and City failed to take advantage of it.
0-0 half time
Ralls come on for Pilkinghton.
First 10 minutes City in control again,but nothing really at the end of it.
As time was going on,it was all Cardiff and in the 60th minute Manga made it one nil City.
Russell Slade went mental running down the line.
Then within minutes Macheda made it 2 nil City.
But City let Leeds back in with a goal,a scrappy goal in my opinion and no need for it. 2-1 City.
Kenwyne Jones came on Macheda in the 74minute. Ravel for Le Fondre in the 80th minute.
Leeds then had a mix up in their defence and Yes 3-1 Cardiff City, Kenwyne Jones scored.
City not really tested today.
The last 10 minutes City passed well and over all it was always City who were going to Win.
3pts for City against a very very poor Leeds Side,next up Bolton away Tuesday night,then Brum away, 6 more pts available.
