IN A WET AND COLD CCFC STADIUM, CITY

My View/Opinion

By Annis Abraham

” IN A WET AND COLD CCFC STADIUM, CITY DREW TO LOWLY MK DONS ”
The play offs look a far distance

In a wet and cold Cardiff City Stadium, players were slipping, getting stuck in the mud and not able to run at pace without falling over.
The crowd in attendance was no more than 10,000.

For me this became anyone’s game as I felt who ever put the ball in the net first would win the game.

Tom Lawrence did well on his debut and looked quite useful.
CARDIFF CITY 0 MK DONS 0

Crowd 13,833
Away Support Aporox 450 MK Dons fans
CARDIFF CITY TEAM: Marshall, Fabio, Malone, Connolly, Manga, Ameobi, O’Keefe, Ralls, Whittingham, Lawrence & Pilkington.

Subs : Moore, Peltier, Dikgacoi, Gunnarsson, Macheda, Immers, Zohore.
City went in to this game on a high,undefeated in their last 3 matches and facing MK Dons who had been taking a few hammering of late including a 0-5 home defeat by Burnley and a 1-3 away loss at bottom of the table Bolton which had left MK 1 point above above relegation.

The football was dire with no creativity and it really was like watching paint dry.
To be fair the weather was not helping at sll, but it was the same for both teams.

35 mins one and City no shots on target, but then a bit of life to the game, Whittingha pass to Lawrence who hit the post

O’Keefe had a header saved by the Dons keeper in the 43rd min.

45th min Whitts missed a sitter and shot over the bar.

Half-Time City 0 MK 0

The rain continued to poor down.
City had their first proper shot and it was a good one by Malone, which was superbly saved by the MK keeper .
City continued to go forward with a Pilkington volley saved.

Nicky Maynard missed a one on one with Marshall.

In the 63rd min Lawrence was down Ref played on and then when Ameobi had it with a clear shot on goal which he put in the net, Ref blew up for Lawrence down, City crowd were fuming.
77th min Kenneth Zohore made his debut and replaced Ameobi.

86th min Macheda came on for Pilkighton.

My Man of the Match Sammy Ameobi.
I nearly gave it to Tom Lawrence as he had a very good debut.
Next up Charlton Away Next Saturday.
