FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 DERBY COUNTY. Match thread

Leaders Cardiff will be without midfielder Craig Bryson for Derby's Sky Bet Championship visit.

Bryson joined Cardiff from Derby last month on a season-long loan and can not play against his parent club under the terms of the agreement. But Joe Ralls, who missed the midweek win over Leeds, could be available after returning to training. Jazz Richards (ankle), Aron Gunnarsson (hip/thigh), Callum Paterson (knee) and Kadeem Harris (knee) remain out.

Mason Bennett will be absent from the Derby squad with the knee injury he sustained against Brentford in midweek. The striker had to come off after only 12 minutes of the 1-1 draw at Griffin Park but the good news for the Rams is that tests have shown he suffered no serious ligament damage.

Johnny Russell is fit but has been left out of the last two matchday squads. Derby boss Gary Rowett has refused to elaborate on why and it remains to be seen if the forward will be involved on Saturday. Midfielder George Thorne has had a bout of illness and will play for the under-23 side on Friday afternoon but could still travel to south Wales.

Opta stats

The Bluebirds have lost two of their last three home league games against Derby (W1), as many as they'd lost in their previous 14 games against the Rams.

The Rams have never won back to back away league games against Cardiff.

This is the fifth consecutive meeting between these sides in which Derby will be managed by a different manager - Paul Clement, Darren Wassall, Chris Powell and Steve McClaren were in charge for the four games in the previous two seasons, and Gary Rowett will take charge of the Rams for this game.

This is only the second time Cardiff have gained as many as 23 points from their opening 10 league games - the other season was 2006-07 in which they also won their 11th game.

The Bluebirds have lost only one of their last 12 home league games (W8 D3), though this was against last season's Championship winners Newcastle (0-2 in April).

Derby haven't kept an away clean sheet in the Championship since January, conceding in each of their last 14 games in the competition.

Interesting to see how we line up. With Bryson and Gunnar out were going to be light in midfield

Half time. Roy Keane just left his seat to get a prawn sandwich. He don’t look impressed.

Tomlin to come on to get closer to zohore. Needs support. Derby sitting deep. Not sure who I’d take off though. Over to you Neil.

That's a decent point, they didn't turn up to win the game, they turned up to shut us out and it worked. We move on.

Would have started with tomlin in behind zohore. Far too isolated.

We could easily have lost - they hit the bar and Etheridge made a great save. Derby worked very hard and came for the point they got - we got into some great positions but didn't test their keeper. That is a good point, and other results too show the nature of this Championship.

I did think Zohore was well marshalled and didn't do a lot. Tomlin looked a bit lost.

However, 7 points from the last 3 - I'd have happily taken that.

What was up with that free kick Tomlin took late on? I thought it looked to be in a perfect position to go for goal.

Zohore continued his education today as Davies and Keogh had him in their pocket.

Derby came to battle and were a big side that we struggled to impose our game on.

We weren't quite at it today. It happens. Look forward to the next game now :ayatollah:

He also had Ledley sat in front of him with the 2 centre half behind for almost every header, Thought he was very isolated today.

Overall a good point. Would like to have seen fresher legs, and seen Ward or Bogle, actually go for the 3 points, but Derby were good and organised.

NML is so exciting, looks to make something happen everytime he touched the ball. Him or Pelts for MOM.

I think the break has come at a good time. Recharge the batteries and go again.

Well, that’s our own fault for lumping the ball up to him, constantly.

Neil’s Long-ball tactic isn’t dead it seems.

Interesting take from Davies on his battle with Zohore and how he thinks he won it. I hope Ken and the club read this and work with him on adapting to these challenges. It was clear Davies was stepping in front of Ken all game so he needs to learn how to deal with this in future:
