STALEMATE AT CCS
Cardiff City were held 0-0 by Ian Evatt's Blackpool this afternoon. Rubin Colwill pre-match. Player Ratings: Nathan Trott (7) - Made an exceptional save to deny Bowler. Looked more confident in himself after a shaky few weeks. Distribution was improved. Perry Ng (6.5) - Just too slow on the ball, and final delivery lacked much quality. Defensively sound. Will Fish (6) - Similar to Ng in many ways, some real frustrating and unnecessary shots from distance stopping Cardiff in g

TEN MAN CITY PUNISHED
Cardiff City were beaten 2-0 by a ruthless Wycombe Wanderers this evening. Gabriel Osho receiving a red card. Player Ratings: Nathan Trott (4.5) - Didn't command his area at all, flapping at a couple of balls. Feel he could do more for at least one goal. Distribution wasteful again. Perry Ng (6.5) - Could possibly question his positioning for the first goal. In general, got forward well and defended decently. Dylan Lawlor (7) - Some impressive passing on display, and carried
