” CITY FAIL TO DELIVER IN A MATCH THAT THEY SHOULD BE WINNING ”
After last weeks excitement, back to reality under Slade and the football that’s keeping our fans away.
Plenty of controversity today, but not good football.
Lex Immers came on as a sub and was hard working and was box to box, first impressions looks very good.
All the hard work was done at Wolves and then we lose 2pts today
Russell Slade stuck with the same team that had won away at Wolves
CARDIFF CITY 2 ROTHERHAM UNITED 2

Cardiff City Team : Marshall, Peltier, Malone, Connolly, Manga, O’Keefe, Ralls, Noone, Whittingham, Pilkington and Mason.

4th from bottom Rotherham arrived today having lost 3 of their last 4 games,whilst City were on a high after the mauling of Wolverhampton last Saturday.
So City fans were high in expectations and nothing less than a win would be accepted today.
For the first 20 mins there was no chances really created.
Then in the 24th min Malone header to Pilkington who slotted it home 1-0.
City went to sleep and bang 44th min Rotherham tore our defence open and they slotted the ball away to make it 1-1.
Stats City 57% Rotherham 43% possession
Half-time. CCFC 1 RUFC 1
Second half City still sleeping and with in 4 mins 1-2.
Some Quality by Rotherham- and it was coming, we’d lost our way.
55th min good save by Marshall.
58th min Lex Immers comes on for Joe Mason and with in seconds Immers wins the ball and knocks it down for Pilkinton’s second goal 2-2.
Immers was getting stuck in and was running every where.
83rd min Manga missed open goal.
Peltier sent of for a second bookable offence in 84th min
85th min Fabio on for Noone
My Man of the Match Pilkington.
