Annis Abraham : Today convincing/Best and dominated

My View/Opinion  

” TODAY CONVINCING/BEST AND DOMINATED ”

I have to say that was the best City have played under Russell Slade  

Fabio and Manga outstanding   

Mediocre Birmingham team.

Clean sheet for City  

Cardiff City 2 Birmingham City 0   

Crowd 20,602 incl nearly 1,500 Brum fans.

Cardiff City : Marshall, Fabio, Malone, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Ralls, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Revell, Jones.

Subs: Moore, Gabbidon, Adeyemi, Kennedy, O’Keefe, Doyle,

City went in to this game knowing that anything less than a win would give us our worst record at home for 25 years, whilst Birmingham had virtually secured any relegation doubts.

From the start City played attacking football and for the first 20 mins, both teams attacked each others end.
Not pretty football the first-half, but City players running for it and closing Birmingham down  

Alex Revell limped off in the 44th minute to be replaced by Doyle.
Did not look good for Revell.

The rest of the first-half was quite stale and the score-line suited the 0-0 scoreline after 45 minutes.

In the 50th minute Manga stopped a Birmingham attack and with in seconds, City had then taken a 1 nil lead thanks to Doyles first ever goal for City       

In the 68th minute Kenwyne Jones missed a sitter by kicking the ball over the bar,to be honest Jones missed a couple of good chances today  

City dominated the second-half, with Doyle being brought down in the Brum penalty are, for then Whittingham to slot home the penalty with ease, 2-0 City     

This today was by far City’s best home display under Russell Slade and we fully deserved the victory, in fact we could of won 4 nil   

We must not sell Manga and Fabio,they are City’s main players and were once again the difference  

My Man of the Match Fabio or Manga  

International break, so City’s next game is away to Reading Saturday April 4th
