Subscribed to Club TV for this....looking forward to the second 60 mins.....

[Maurice Swan]

Bagan's wing is all over the place...too easy down that flank....0-1

[the other bob wilson]

We're getting a real wake up call here - how can you be so sluggish after all of the physical training they must have been doing in the last three weeks?

Can't expect a lot the majority of this team struggled last year, hope for a better performance in the 2nd 60. plenty of individual talent available there.

[Maurice Swan]

Not impressed so far...NG and McGuiness ok....

[Sparticus_Mills]

So slow on the ball and very little movement upfront, other than Robinson.

well, that thirty minutes was just your typical modern day home performance by Cardiff City, albeit there were a few signs of improvement towards the end of the first half, but Rovers have been slicker than us and shown more of a cutting edge.

Well that's more like it

1-1, good finish by Robinson, but was there a foul in the build up?

[ccfcwelshlad]

This referee is a pain. It's a pre season friendly and he's constantly on his whistle.

Robinson is head and shoulders the best player on the pitch

[Maurice Swan]

!!! MIssed the goal......am out in the sticks and internet not good! From what I see....improved second period but still not over impressive....

[the other bob wilson]

Finished 1-1, a lot better from City in the second half - Etete had a couple of chances to win the game, but he's having a slow start to his season.

[Maurice Swan]

I hope for more this second game....

[Sparticus_Mills]

Robinson is head and shoulders the best player on the pitch

Totally agree with that, thought our fullbacks played well, but other than that, nothing stands out.

Tanner looking sharp

[the other bob wilson]

1-0 to City early on in the second game, good run by O'Dowda and Tanner finishes from twelve yards.

[City123]

I've never been particularly impressed by Tanner but you can't deny the end product so far in pre season, that's 2 or 3 goals and an assist now isn't it?

[2b2bdoo]

Interested to know how the new guys do.

O'Dowda looking sharp

O'Dowda looking sharp

yes he is
