FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 ASTON VILLA.

MATCH FACTS

• Cardiff have failed to score in three of their last four home league games against Villa, although three of those matches were played in the 1970s.
• Villa have won seven of their last nine league games against the Bluebirds, keeping seven clean sheets in that time.
• Cardiff have kept just one clean sheet in their last 14 home league contests.
• The Villans could win successive away league games for the first time since September 2014.
• Villa won just twice away from home in the league in 2016, with both wins coming under Steve Bruce.

Really looking forward to today. Last chance for Warnock to assess what he needs in the next couple of weeks

Gonna be tight, but this game is winable

Rudy Gestede to Boro, £6 million. :hehe:

We're a right basket case of a club.

Murphy, Peltier, Manga, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Harris, Hoilett, Zohore.

Subs; Wilson, Richards, Huws, Connolly, Pilkington, Noone, Lambert

Aston Villa: Bunn, Hutton, Chester (C), Baker, Amavi, Gardner, Westwood, Adomah, Bacuna, Grealish, McCormack.

Subs: Gollini, Ayew, Cissokho, Elphick, Tshibola, Agbonlahor, Hepburn-Murphy.

I hope Grealish has a close eye kept on him.

Send for reinforcements. Big Villa following.

Yep, one or two players looking over their shoulder, hopefully putting in a good shift to impress Warnock.

Jolly good show by Ralls.

I have no reason to believe that we can't hold onto this lead.

Is that you, Cnut?

Anyone know why Noone came on as sub?
Hollet injured maybe?

Too quiet on here, no info anywhere else.


I only know Noone is on because SSN just reported he had an attempt blocked on the line.

Lack of a decent striker has been our downfall for several years - even when we won promotion.

The Wales Online coverage (Chris Watham) is OK. here:

Hoilett was injured. Tried to carry on but then subbed. Doesn't appear to be too serious.

Good stuff from City. Ken doing well overall but should have scored a couple.

very sketchy at the moment feeling a goal against us soon..

Villa should have had a pelanty acc to SSN - shirt pull by Harris. Ref and lino consulted but gave nothing.

Well done City.
Things continue to feel like we are a club on the up.
Game in hand to play when we've further strengthened/clicked too. Nice.

Brutal, i`d say he`s a little bit upset. Shame he didn`t give Grealish a minus mark.

You must be mistaken. Noone scored for Villa.
