No seven decades of Cardiff v Johor Darul Tazim, TOBW?
Are Johor Darul Tazim a team or just the one player?

Champions seven seasons in a row? Blimey. Should be reasonable opposition then.

The #Bluebirds will field two different XIs for each half of our clash against Johor Darul Ta'zim this evening.
Here is how we line-up for the first 45! #CityAsOne pic.twitter.com/S7GMinI3LS
who is playing left back?
Tsunoda?
mafico?
352 with Willock and Tanner wing backs?
Tsunoda injured.
Giles on.
Was really hoping Tsunoda could make an impact in preseason. He’s off injured after 23 mins.
Different season. Different league. Different manager. Different left back.
Same woeful defending.
Colwill just kicks him![]()
Looks like Mafico tucks into central midfield when we're in possession and then drops into left full back but Kpakio isn't doing the same thing on the other side.
0-0 half time. Early impressions, the BBM revolution has not reached the wingers yet when it comes to crossing - it’s been as disappointing as last season. Some nice examples of playing through the press, but only two real scares for the Malaysian team when Etete shot wide and their keeper made a good save from Willock. Up the other end, they hit the side netting in the first minute and Horvarth’s made a decent save with his legs. Think Kpakio and King have been impressive, but it’s been typical pre season friendly stuff in the main.
The ref (who is very card happy) brandished a red card after the whistle at the end of the first half. I think it was one of their players, but Etete was involved.. commentators didn’t seem to know what was going on.
Be disappointing if either team is down to ten.
It will make a nonsense of BBM's plans for the game. Not what either manager would want.
The ref had an interesting attitude to carding players too. Chambers given a yellow for being wrestled to the ground at a corner.
Colwill given a yellow for kicking the legs away from one of their players who was away from him on a dangerous break. (Colwill needs to practice the innocent look and the 'what, me ref?' gesture).
A lot of fight from Rubin Colwill there for the goal, hopefully he remembers to do that in League 1
Isaak Davies not involved at all?
