” RUSSELL SLADE LIVES TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY ”

AFTER GRABBING 3pts FROM A MUST WIN GAME

Cardiff City players walked out to a more than half empty stadium and were booed by some of the fans at half/time.

Thankfully a Joe Mason goal saved the day.

I must say what a boring game, but we won and City climb the table to 9th, 4pts off play-offs.

CARDIFF CITY 1 BLACKBURN 0.

Crowd 14,385 Away Support 480 Blackburn approx

City Team : Marshall, Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Malone, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Noone, Pilkington, Watt and Mason.

Subs : Moore, Fabio, Dikgacoi, O’Keefe, Whittingham, Ameobi and Macheda

City today faced a Blackburn side that had just come out of a transfer embargo and had been struggling to put a quality side together,apparently their football lately has been at its lowest for years. So today City had the chance to get back on track and nothing but a win would be accepted by the Cardiff faithful.
A bright start from City and for the first 25 mins City once again did all the attacking, but only making the Blackburn Rovers goalie make one save. For the rest of the first half the game became quite a bore, with some City fans even booing the team off at half-time.

Half-time City 0 Blackburn 0
A quite start,but thankfully after a shot by Noone saved by their goalie which rebounded out for Joe Mason to score 1-0 58th minute.

A great shot by Tony Watt in the 71st min, saved by the Blackburn goalie.
77th minute Peltier went off injured to be replaced by Fabio.

80th minute Okeefe was brought on for Joe Mason

87th min Ameobi on for a tired Tony Watt
FULL TIME CARDIFF CITY 1 BLACKBURN 0
