1-0

[Maurice Swan]

lovely layoff by Madine....Bacuna....GOAL

[Maurice Swan]

very scrappy....Tomlin looking lost....wingers not running....just as i say that, great run by Tomlin...Madine unlucky......good save.

[NYCBlue]

Pretty even so far. Madine should’ve done better there. I think we’re going to need a couple more goals. Can’t see us keeping a clean sheet tonight.

[celticknight]

Looks like a typical cold, damp, miserable Tuesday evening Championship match so far.

At least we're winning at he moment.

Defence looking a bit creaky but if ever we needed a clean sheet, it is tonight.

[WJ99mobile]

nice to see stoke Subs doing a proper warm up where we’re just hitting it back and forth aimlessly.

[WJ99mobile]

Also where’s the rivalry gone. The atmosphere is flipping shocking considering how much Cardiff and Stoke hate each other

another "look at me ref," who will give us nothing.

[WJ99mobile]

Ref is a ****

[Jimmy the Jock]

Warnock may be gone but his footballing style lives on .
This is shocking . Hoof ball in the main , no plan B , doesnt look much like there is a plan A either.

[Freitag 4.17]

We're due about 33 shots on goal before the end of the game.. any... minute.. now..

Poor show this after looking promising last week.

[The Hooded Claw]

Tackle!
Hoof!
Jump!
Repeat...

[Jimmy the Jock]

We have been better second half. Played a bit of football here and there.

[Heathblue]

1.0, 3 points, clean sheet, Job Done

[celticknight]

Winning ugly. It's a sign of champions, you know.

[blue lewj]

I think he's asking them to play some football.

We're still coughing up possession but we used it better than they did when we had it.

3 points and a clean sheet. Got to be happy with that even if the performances wasn't vintage.

[Philbccfc]

ref had a good game , (for stoke)
