Attendance: 14,295 (648 Cardiff City fans).
Referee: Mr D Webb.
The unbeaten run now stretches to six games with the win over the Blueirds today, it wasn't a classic although did slightly improve in the second half, which didn't take much give the first half was just dire.
A grey old day could just about see the snow on the hills near Horwich although they were soon to be obiliterated by low cloud which a cold rain.
Two changes Cannon returned for Evans and Woodburn for Browne who was on birthing duties as his partner was firing one out.
The first ten minutes were disrupted to a head inhury to Eoodman making a brave clearance at the feet of an on rushing City player, the keeper seemed to receive a cut around the eye, the lesser spotted Cornell got ready to make his league debut but Woodman played on which is perhaps as well as he won us the game.
Wintle looked to be through on goal however the massive frame of Bambo denied him, Parrott curled narrowly wide from a short corner whiclt Philogene went ever so close with an effort fromoutside the box. Decent player this lad. The two forwards caused us issues mind you our inability to pass to anyone in a white shirt may have led to that.
Bambo narrowly wide at just on half time, dare to think what those who were watching the international feed thought of the first 52 minutes
Luckily there was some entertainment in the second half Cannon fired straight at Ainwick whilst Woodman had to make a brilliant save from Kaba, also saved well from a free kick from NG.
We took the lead moments after Alvaro had had a glorious chance following a cross field pass from Potts, scuffed his shot wide, but gave us a slight bit of momentum, which led to the goal, ball over the top Cannon got the better of Kipre sent McGuiness the wrong way before blasting home.
By this time City had substitued Saba seemed a strange decision to me, but Philogene was causing us loads of issues, into four minutes of stoppage time Alnwick flattened Cannon who was through on goal, red card, Luthra came on to make his debut he palmed Whiteman's free kick straight to Evans, job done two up, game set and match
