CARDIFF CITY TONIGHT DID ENOUGH TO WIN BUT
My View/Opinion
BY Annis Abraham
CARDIFF CITY TONIGHT DID ENOUGH TO WIN THE GAME, BUT HAD TO SETTLE FOR A DRAW
Not good enough though as if you keeping losing your away games, you have to win your home games
Cardiff had over 60 per cent of possession and 17 shots to Forest’s six.
To be fair to City tonight we saw some great football for at least 70mins of the game.
City now 6pts below 6th position
CARDIFF CITY 1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1
Crowd 15,461 Away 900 approx
Cardiff City Team : Marshall; Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Fabio, Noone, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Pilkington, Jones, Watt.
Subs : Moore, Malone, Macheda, Whittingham, Ameobi, O’Keefe and Mason
The pressure was on today for Russell Slade to deliver a home win and please the die hard City fans.
Cardiff went in to this game on the back of 2 away defeats on the trot,but with a very good home record, Forest also with a good home record but not so good away.
In the 9th min a hell of a run by Forest opening City up and ending with a great shot 0-1 Forest but thankfully minutes later a move started by Gunnarsson and ending with a cracking goal by Gunnarsson 1-1.
After 30 mins City had dominated with 68% possession and 9 shots
City continued to impress right up to half -time with Fabio, Gunnarsson, Ralls and Noone all playing well.
Half-tme City 1 Forest 1
To be fair to City they continued like they did in the first half.
64th min Ameobi came on for Kenwyne Jones.
68th min Gunnasson went off injured replaced by Whittingham
81st min Macheda came on for Craig Noone
City deserved to win tonight and will feel they lost 2pts
My Man of the match Craig Noone.
Final Score CCFC 1 NOTTS FOREST 1
Up Next Blackburn this Saturday at home.
