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

I think we caught them on the break.

 

Yeah, nah.

Sarcevic is very much a round peg in a round hole and suits that position to a tee.

I don't think Halliday/Neuf is a bad possibility at all, and we might end up trying it fairly soon given Sarc's injury record.

But Sarc is still good enough to be in our first XI most weeks, and I wouldn't want to underestimate the impact of having Power and Sarc playing in a lineup that also includes far less experienced players like Bobby, Tyreik, and even Swan.

He's a winner and we've been winning since he arrived.

 

“You’re just a sh*t Newport County” love it.

Which are few and far between these days?

 

“Nick Powell coming on, he should be in a retirement home”

 

City fans…wow …..hats off.

 

First rendition by City fans “ We are top of the league” ……F@ck off in the background made me chuckle …listen.

 

A few chuckle comments. Liked the bereft “Cardiff fans fans singing about Kier Starmer”

 

And the lad singing the infectious Will Swan ole! Brilliant

 

Yes, though i suspect teams are soon going to have to start matching us up rather than trying to play their own way so we might start to see it more. Donny and Wimbledon showed the blue print of letting us have more of the ball and try and bully us on the break (that said, we had some of our bigger beasts in for those games so maybe not)

 

Another

They are coming across as a really decent set of fans ?

 

In the main, the older gentleman at about 18 minutes in was more deluded than the dogs, he was totalling the score up for them to win somehow

Not sure how they had a penalty that was a bigger one than ours, there isn't a bigger stonewaller than that! Every set of fans are the same though, always the refs fault when they get outplayed.

 

No probably not, they would have both had the pace to get away from the man and score

 

Sarce’s nous got that penalty no question.

 

Yes, I browsed their forum and Vlogs in the week before the game and saw their reactions during and after the game.
They're not antagonistic or belligerent in any way.
Listen, I'm as bad as anyone when it comes to putting down our rivals, but it's just going with the flow on forums, social media etc. But sometimes when you come across genuine fans with no animosity, it's therapeutic in a way, and makes pleasant reading.
I guess they may have some genuine rivalry with Swansea and that may raise the temperature somewhat but they have been nothing but civil and largely complementary about us.

 

Yes it’s refreshing KK. Hats off to them.

 

Stupid tackle from their point of view

 

Not much history between us is perhaps why

 

In those conditions yes . Even the Cardiff fans on a vlog I’ve just watched recognised Sarce “ old manned” him by pulling the ball back knowing his momentum would clean him out because the ground was soaking wet.
