My View/Opinion

FOR ME CARDIFF CITY PLAYED WELL TODAY/ CONTROLLED THE GAME AT TIMES/BUT BAD DEFENCIVE MISTAKES & EVEN WORSE A PLAYER SENT OFF DID NOT HELP.

Then ex Cardiff City player Rudy Gestede sealed it for Villa with a penalty.

CITY STARTED BOTH HALFS WELL,ATTACKING FOR THE FIRST 5-10 MINS & EVEN HAVING GOOD PERIODS DURING BOTH HALFS. 😥 😥

CARDIFF CITY ARE NOW BACK IN THE BOTTOM THREE
First-half City played really well,but Warnock will be fuming with his defence, as City made careless mistakes.

For me Aron Gunnarsson,Rickie Lambert and Junior Hoilett stood out :bluebird:

For Cardiff fans this was one of the biggest away games of the season and with both teams having big name managers in Neil Warnock and Steve Bruce it was sure to be one hell of a game.
Both teams had not had the best of starts this season,but today was the chance for one of them to go in to December on a high, hopefully it was going to be Cardiff City.
City started really well and for the first five minutes really went for it, as the match went on Villa took control and scored easily in the 25th min 1-0 Villa 😥

Fair play to City, City came straight back in to it and Rickie Lambert scores 1-1 :bluebird: :bluebird:

Villa then took control again and bang in the 39th min ,Kodjia headed Villa into the lead 2-1 😥

City played well first half,but defencive error cost us the two goals.
