Cardiff City get the points but boy did we struggle

‘ CARDIFF CITY GET THE POINTS/BUT BOY DID WE STRUGGLE ‘

By Annis Abraham

WE ARE NOW TOP 6.
Cardiff City for me today struggled big time against a worse than dreadful Bolton side, this certainly won’t get the City fans rushing back to watch us.
Also for me both teams looked less than ordinary and even though I am not convinced we deserve to be there, City have climbed in to the top 6 so as they say the table does not lie.

And as they Say 3 pts are All that matters.

Cardiff City today,travelled to bottom of the table Bolton, who were without a win in their last 11 games,failed to pay their players,their fans already feel they are down and are looking at a winding up order, so for me this surely was 3pts in the bag.
Both teams ran out to a near empty stadium.

City started with the best football seen in over a year, leading up to Tony Watt scoring his first goal in the 13th minute.
Then minutes later a wonder shot from Bolton’s Madine made it 1-1.

Fabio replaced the injured Peltier in the 22nd minute.
For some reason Cardiff just went to sleep,letting Bolton do all the attacking.

How were not ahead? Darren Pratley had an effort deflected onto the bar and the rebound was cleared off the line…

Half-Time Bolton 1 City 1

Both teams came out and attacked each other and in the 53rd minute after Scott Malone shot, Bolton scored and own goal 1-2 City.

in the 64th min Tony Watt had a goal ruled out for off-side.

Then City went asleep and Bolton equalised in the 72nd minute from a free-kick 2-2.

82nd minute Pilkington scored a volley 2-3.

With in minutes Marshall made a good save.

Bolton had a player sent ff in injury time.

Man of the Match Tony Watt.
