To draw tonight at Championship Leaders Burnley and even nearly snatch the winner, for me shows Slades team have come along way in the last year.

Just under 300 City fans sang for 90 minutes and out sung the Burnley home crowd.

City tonight played good football against the leaders Burnley and should of been at least one nil up by half-time, as the game went on in the second half-half, City defended well against the Championship Leaders and even nearly won it.

Before tonight Cardiff had only lost 3 in their last 16 games.

BURNLEY 0 CARDIFF CITY 0

Crowd 15,740
Away Support 277 City Fans

Team : Marshall, Peltier, Manga, Morrison, Malone, Dikgacoi, O’Keefe, Ralls, Lawrence, Immers and Pilkington.

Subs : Moore, Fabio, Whittingham, Noone, Gunnarsson, Ameobi and Zohore.

City went in to this game full of confidence after beating Derby County on Saturday,but tonight they were facing Championship League Leaders Burnley at Turf Moor who were unbeaten in their last 17 games.

Cardiff were wearing blue tonight. So presumably third kit will now never be used.

Both captains tonight are in goal. Tom Heaton for Burnley, David Marshall for Cardiff.

Early pressure from Cardiff, Okeefe, Pilkington and Lawrence all have shots blocked or saved.

City continued to pile serious pressure on Burnley.

Cardiff deserved to be at least 1 nil up and had played some nice football.

Half-time Burnley 0 CCFC 0

Burnley came out stronger the second half and Cardiff looked strong in defence.

Pilkington went off injured and was replaced by Gunnarsson, big loss for City.

As the game went on it became end-to-end, but cut out chances became few and far between.

Finishing by City was starting to become sloppy, but our defence continued to be solid.

Gunnarsson, Zohore and Noone came on for City as subs. Pilkington, O’Keefe and Lawrence went off
Lex Immers in the 86th minute had a clear chance and kicked it over the bar.

87th min, Zohore hit the cross bar.

WELL DONE RUSSELL SLADE & CARDIFF CITY,EXCELLENT POINT.

Full time BURNLEY 0 CARDIFF CITY 0.

Man of the match Lex Immers.
Up next Fulham away this Saturday.
