FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 SOUTHAMPTON. Match thread.

[Former Labour leader]

Yes but it's only 1. They will be getting twitchy.
2-1 city.

What's your lottery numbers tonite.?

So Saints could have been out of sight but Horvath made save good saves and the 2x centre halves threw themselves at everything making some important challenges. I thought they eeee both immense today ! Please sign Phillips !! At half time , I said to my friend “I wonder if Saints will regret not taking their chances?” And as the second half progressed we got more and more into it !!! Ashford did well and great moment for him scoring the winner , Giles and Conte added pace and desire and looked confident on the balll ! A big shout out as well for Colwill who had a great 2nd half and must be allowed to play that role more offer … great day !

Top effort

We played very well today, but let's not ignore the fact that we could have easily conceded 6 or 7.

They had a good first half, but 6 or 7 is an exaggeration. Anyway, it's goals that count, not chances.
It was the most enjoyable game this season.

Not too much of an exaggeration- they created more chances in the first half than we've done all season.

Enjoyed the game today and the debutant's performances, and Ashford's goal, made it all the better, but being objective we were battered for long spells- a big deflection for the winner makes this season's team the jammiest I can remember. Who needs an excellent manager when we have this much luck?

[Dave Blue]

It was everything that has been missing at home. Rode luck incredibly but I’ve seen plenty of those the other way round over the years. We have been very fortunate at times this year but the commitment and some of the attacking intent was faultless today. Well done to them all.

[The Lone Gunman]

Cardiff did what they often do. They have a game plan, they stick to it and they work their socks off. They strangled Southampton. They barely gave them any time or space.

Good grief. Astonishing.

[MOZZER2]

And Cardiff have surely WON it.

That might be clever if that was anywhere close to being "what we often do".

OK, 4 or 5. But I agree it was a most enjoyable game from start to finish.

[The Lone Gunman]

It might also be clever if it actually happened. But it didn’t. Barely gave Southampton any time or space? Righto…

[NYCBlue]

Good grief. Astonishing.

He's failing at trying to be clever by quoting what I said about Real Madrid the other day.

Oh, I see. Makes a lot more sense. But you never know on this board.

He might also be a little miffed that I won $340 today after he posted this.

I put $20 on City at half time at 16/1.

[Alfresco]

The bookmaker under the Canton stand was very quiet during the halftime interval. Not many if any lumping on a City win.

Cardiff had to scramble for a last-minute shirt replacement for 17-year-old Luey Giles yesterday - because he wasn’t old enough to be allowed the SkyBet logo on his sleeve! https://t.co/CCuH4IkoGP

Spot on, I hope we beat them somehow, shatter his dreams, he misses out in the playoffs and gets the sack next season with a terrible start and never works again

It's coming true
