TROLLOPE MADE SOME BIG CHANGES TONIGHT AND WE STILL DID NOT IMPROVE INFACT WE WERE HORREDOUS

CARDIFF HAD A HORROR FIRST HALF SHOW 😯

Preston had lost five of their previous six league games
Pilkington,Wilson,Noone and Lambert all got booked as City players got frustrated and lost control of the game against one of the worst teams in the Championship.
Ex Cardiff striker Eoin Doyle was subbed second half, not a Championship striker.

We had No belief in our selves and looked awful at times.

Hugil 87 mins

Away Support 202(incl 50 comps)

Paul Trollope made some big changes with Kareem Harris and Emyr Huws starting for City.While Richards and Immers missed out, Rickie Lambert started up front again.But once again no starting place for Peter Whittingham.

Preston North End came in tonights game at Deepdale off the back of four straight defeats and currently occupy twenty-third place in the Sky Bet Championship table.

The couple of hundred diehard City fans who had made this long journey were hoping for 3pts as nearly every Championship club had taken them from Preston so far this season.

A lively start by Cardiff City, Pilkington with a shot with in minutes,Harris also making runs and Lambert passing well with Pilkington.

Preston then put the pressure on with young goalie Ben Wilson making a good save :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Preston then had Cardiff on the ropes for the next 10 minutes,with ex City player Doyle making all the runs.

City goalie Ben Wilson was booked for late tackle on Doyle outside the box as the forward looked to break in.

Preston were doing all the attacking, but thankfully Pilkington was popping up with some runs and shots :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

In the 36th min Tom Clarke scored for Preston, Ben Wilson did not do well 😮 1-0 😮 😮

Preston were looking sharper and fitter.

Then in 41st min Callum Robinson made it 2-0 Preston 😮 😮

Shocking first half.

Half-time Preston 2 Cardiff City 0 😮 😮
City changed at HT: Peter Whittingham & Craig Noone came on for Declan John & Emyr Huws.
Preston continued to attack with Gallagher hit the top of the bar from a free-kick 😮
Pilkington,Wilson,Noone and Lambert all got booked as City players got frustrated and lost control of the game.

Cardiff’s final change saw Joe Ralls make way for striker Gounongbe.

City just got worse

87′ Hugill cut inside before releasing a stunning drive from the edge that flew into the net! 3-0 😯
FULL-TIME PRESTON 3 CARDIFF CITY 0 😯 😯
