what does Bell have on pearson
Silly comment. Bell has been poor played as a CF, which is not his position, hopefully tonight back in his preferred role he will do much better. If he does not we have Mehmeti on the bench.

Looks fair enough, hopefully King's positional know how will make up for his lack of pace alongside James.
Good to to Wells start and Bell back in his proper position.

Cornick needs time, remember how long it took Nahki to fit in
Wells was played out of position by our genius manager at the time. Cornick just looks cack, love him to make me eat my words and score the winner tonight mind.

I like that look of this lineup to be honest. Whatever happens I would like to see Wells lead the line from the start, fancy him to get on the scoresheet tonight.
I too very much would like to see Wells start as the CF, surely NP won't make the mistake of playing Sam Bell there again?

Big results if they stay as-is.
Massive, London City lose 1-2 so City Woman now 6 pts clear of them and GD is now 1 better too.

Sheffield just taken the lead against London City 1-2... could be a dream day for us.

actually 0-3 (was 0-2 at HT), Harrison scores.

City women go 0-2 on the stroke of HT, (Clinton double) and Sheffield Utd level against London City 1-1.

City Women have early 0-1 lead at Palace, but London City also 1-0 up at home to Sheffield Utd

The exertions against Man City were I'm sure certainly a factor, with 2 or 3 perhaps either mentally or physically not at their best.
Add to that the baffling decision to play Sam Bell as CF, when he really struggled in that role v Hull. I'd have started Wells, or even Cornick there instead of Bell. I think Bell has a big future, but he needs to play off a CF, just not his game to play as the CF.
The injuries hampered us, Scott dropping back when Williams went off curtailed our attack as Weimann, despite working tirelessly as usual, was not at all effective.
Then the decision to belatedly bring Wells on for Bell, but at the same time take off Tanner and drop Sykes (who for me had been our best player and the most likely to create something) to RB was a counter productive call. Cornick was hopeless, all over the place, lost possession several times, never seemed to get the ball under control. As someone else said in the match thread, struggling to see how he offers any improvement on our starting 11.

FT 2-0, can not really have any complaints. Sykes best City player today for me.

******* short corners
So stupid not to swing it in, with stand-in keeper.

Cardiff keeper red carded for handball outside the box, but all too late for us.

Cornick loses the ball again

Cornick has been massively underwhelming since joining.
Yes, still no idea what position will be his best. Jack of all trades, master of none it seems to me.

Mehmeti loses the ball again, has looked like a league 1 player today.

FFS, Mehmeti given a great chance by brilliant carry from Scott and he blazes it over the bar - really poor.

Cornick so slow to get a cross in

game over, Max beaten at his near post from 20 yards.

Bit of luck that will be the end of Bell at CF for a while
Should never have started there, didn't work at all v Hull, no idea why NP thinks it might have worked against Cardiff. The lad has a bright future, but a CF he is not.

Cornick & Wells on, Bell & Tanner off, presumably Weimann to RWB
-
Bell running away from Weimann's chip, he does not know how to play CF
-
Mehmeti with a decent FK, but good save
-
Cardiff 1-0. Now FFS get Wells on for Bell or Mehmeti.

Think attack will be our best form of defence tonight, so let's get at 'em, COYR
