Match Thread #9: Cardiff City vs Bradford City Saturday 20th September 2025 3:00pm

Was Leigh injured? Missed it if he was.

 

Leigh must be injured. Not good whilst Pattison is out

 

Assume Leigh must have picked up a knock as it doesn't make sense for it to be a tactic change to me. Hopefully it is nothing too serious and just a precaution with Pattison out for at least another week.

 

Didn't Lewis Emanuel once score an absolute screamer at Cardiff many moons ago? I'm struggling to conjure up how good it was in my mind's eye, but seem to recall it being an absolute pile driver from a good distance.

That was as good a City first half away performance against a rated/well performing opposition as I've seen in many a season. Fast, aggressive, well drilled, comfortable on the ball, they look a very good team at the minute, long may it continue.

 

3*0 Deep joy

 

3 - 0

well they answered my query get in fella.

 

Kin hell!

 

Neufville again, ole, ole...

 

That’s another outstanding goal!!

 

It’s just great football.

Wing back play at its best.

 

Now its s different test. Can we show strong game management, dark arts, and be solid without just defending for 40 minutes…?

 

Trying my best to not get carried away, but bloody hell, this is some performance so far on the back of pecking the doggies to submission

 

We’ve gone from looking a slow side at L2 level, to a really rapid side in transition. Neufville, Swan, Wright in at Wing Back. Very, very different profile of player and it makes us a real threat on the break.

 

Watching with the Cardiff commentary. Much better and very complimentary to us (Although when you're getting spanked 3-0 at home you really must)

Remember when watching City was a “chore”?

 

If only !

 

The turnround in 18 months is nothing short of remarkable. I'll be honest and was very secptical when GA was signed but boy am I glad I've been proved wrong

 

I’m right there with you.

 

If anyone ever doubts how big confidence is in football this is showing how big it is, from the 20th minute last week we probably scored more goals from a passing build up than the last 12 months. It is night and day from the Doncaster match all over the pitch.

Hopefully Leigh isn't too injured as Power is now up to 4 yellow cards so only 1 away from a suspension.
