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

Genuinely not sure what to say which hasn’t already. Simply superb today. Every single player, the manager, the fans, OUR CLUB. Just wow!!!!!

Hard to single any of them out, but Power and Touray were class.

Keeping fingers crossed that the news of Leigh and Baldwin is nothing too serious. Both were also class today.

 

Brilliant performance again, only negative (as their goal was lucky after two bad bounces) was Baldwin limping off. Hope it wasn’t as bad as it looked. Leigh too. Didn’t see why he went off.

we’re just a bloody good team. Hats off to GA and the recruitment team. To be top after 9 games, and with Hudds, Barnsley and Cardiff dropping points today……superb.

 

2 consecutive games against the so-called favourites in the league and no player has been below a 7 in either game.

This style of play allows no passengers and all seem to realise this.

As mentioned before Swan has started the defensive side from the CF position.

And we genuinely have numerous players who can score the goals now.

It’s a real pleasure to watch at the moment.

 

Great result

And more importantly we've 40% of the points needed for safety

 

I always fancied us today as Cardiff play into our hands. Virtually all through Alexander's reign we've had no problem doing well in most of the big matches, where we have opponents who dominate possession.

It's the upcoming matches at now desperate Rotherham and Stevenage, which will dictate if we are genuine promotion contenders.

 

Saw him Dave, said he was stopping over.

 

Well what a team we have and when I say a team I mean the whole squad. Concerned about the injuries, hopefully none of them are serious.

Swan was just amazing as he has been all season. I could go on and on. Simple outstanding City!!

 

Absolutely superb performance. What a joy we are to watch at the moment, the only worry as others have said is the injuries that are mounting up again, especially at the back.

 

We have played now and beaten several of the big name clubs home and away...the botherers Cardiff luton wycombe stockport....this is a good side with the potential to get even better as the season progresses...GA has done an amazing job and I think our success is just at the beginning and will only get better...up the chickens

 

It went exactly as I was too cowardly to commit to predicting!

 

I couldn't go today... Or watch.

And worse only found out about the result at 17.30.

Over the moon. And an amazing surprise. Chuffed.

 

Cowardly , I said 1-2 so close enough . Have faith !

 

Dare I say it, we really do look like the real deal! That's what you call a statement win! We played some fantastic stuff, especially first half. Bring on the Mags!!!

 

What a fantastic performance from every single player. It’s games like this that make it all worthwhile.

 

Leigh came off with sickness apparently. Get him in a hazmat suit for the coach journey home, we don't want him passing it on!

 

If Carlsberg did away days…

Proper performance that.

only concern was we look knackered after 70 mins. Hardly a surprise given the shift they put in.

We are a threat on the break / in transition and have the ability to create excellent chances. Could have been 5. Could have conceded 3. But fair play. A great day. Fab backing. I’m hoarse now.

 

It could be energy expenditure. Hopefully nothing that is catching. It happens when you cannot replace body fluids. He is probably expending energy faster than he ever has.

 

Another cracking stat from Nathan.
