Francois Zoko, the goalscorer, is coming off. It's Nile Ranger who comes on. With fresh legs he should be able to pressure Cardiff at the back a little more.

Most of Blackpool's team are camped well inside their own half now. It's only Ishmael Miller who is up there to chase the ball down. Which he is doing, very, very slowly. Blackpool are close to a victory here.

Their last league win was at Wigan in April. Only eight minutes plus injury time to go.

Craig Noone has some nice touches in the Blackpool final third and finds Federico Macheda, and Donervon Daniels makes an awkward challenge as the Italian bears down on goal. The referee points to a corner and Ishmael Miller headers it away with some gusto.

Then, Cardiff's David Marshall clearly handles the ball way out of his goal, collecting Miller's header. One each then.

Ishamel Miller is denied contact on what would surely have been a goal-bound volley by Bruno Ecuele-Manga, the ball falls back to to John Lundstram, he fires in the rebound but it's blocked by Aron Gunnarsson, with David Marshall scampering across his line.

There's a storm brewing between David Perkins and Gunnarsson, as the two clash off the ball.

Francois Zoko is bundled over from behind by Fabio and that's a yellow card for the former Manchester United left-back. An untidy challenge.

Cardiff have got about 20 minutes to find a leveller. There's some better build-up play from them down the Blackpool left, with Adam le Fondre involved already. Crisp passing picks out Aron Gunnarsson, but his shot is blocked.

Not a good night for league leaders in general - Burton are now 2-0 down at home to Cambridge, with Ryan Donaldson on target.

A double switch for Cardiff as the Bluebirds look for a way back into this one. Adam le Fondre comes on for Joe Ralls, and Craig Noone for Ravel Morrison.

Federico Macheda should do better here and really Cardiff should be level. A great cross from Joe Ralls finds the Italian with a clear sight of goal and he fluffs his lines.

Blackpool fans who were in the process of leaving when the goal went in seem to have now congregated in the corner of the stadium, close to the Cardiff goal and presumably close to the exits.

Goals in Scotland too, as leaders Dundee united are hit with two in as many minutes from Kilmarnock.

I was beginning to wonder whether Blackpool had lost their way slightly since the not-so-dramatic-really protest drama, but Francois Zoko's goal says otherwise. A lovely bit of quality there. They've not won all this season Blackpool and this could be a big result if they can stay in front.

After a Cardiff corner, Ell Parish releases the ball quickly and it eventually finds its way to Francois Zoko, whodrives into the box and fires low and hard past David Marshall.

Chris: Walking out may only further stiffen Karl Oyston's resolve. Always support your team. Protests before and after the game still get your message across. Worked for Bolton fans, even eventually worked for Blackburn.

It's Kenwyne Jones who makes way as Federico Macheda comes on for Cardiff. You remember him right?

Cardiff are beginning to have a greater say in things here. Ravel Morrison and Fabio show great movement and invention to fashion a chance on goal, but Fabio's shot is deflected wide. John Brayford has a pop as the resultant corner leads to a half-chance on the edge of the box. That too is deflected wide.

Another corner, but this one is nipped in the bud by the referee. Pulling in the box.

As the camera pans around the stadium the stands don't look considerably emptier. The 'Oyston out' chants continue and the fans who have decided to leave are, let's say imploring their fellow Seasiders to follow them. Some others are milling around enjoying the limelight.

Cardiff swing in a corner, which is cleared by Ishmael Miller. It's broken the game up a bit all of this.

Since half-time there had been plenty of support from the Blackpool fans but moments before the moment, chants of: 'We want Oyston out' starts up again.

So far there is some movement on the way to the turnstiles. Some of those have gone out onto the pitch and the game has been stopped. All those who are leaving have got banners, letting their feelings be known in no uncertain terms. But it's not masses though.
