    We've had plenty of reaction to the Championship team of the season which did not feature any Cardiff players...

    Dean Roof: Cardiff best defensive record but Terry who had a lengthy spell out injured gets in? Behave

    Jonathan: No Bamba no party

    Stephen: Carson for Ruddy. Bamba for Terry.

  2. Still to come this weekend...published at 20:37 British Summer Time 6 April 2018

    It's a jam-packed Saturday in the Championship featuring all 11 remaining games.

    There are two early kick-offs as relegation-threatened Barnsley host Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United at 12:15 BST and Norwich play fourth-placed Aston Villa at 12:30.

    There's a huge match at the bottom of the division with in-form Birmingham facing bottom side Burton. Time is also running out for Sunderland who visit Leeds.

    Fulham look to make it 19 league games unbeaten at Sheffield Wednesday and play-off contenders Millwall at Bristol City meet at The Den.

    Yep, it should be a cracker Steve, and we've got it all covered on the BBC Sport website and app from 12:00.

  3. Half timepublished at 20:34 British Summer Time 6 April 2018

    Cardiff 0-0 Wolves

    Wolves end this half well with some neat passing movements from one end of the pitch to the next before Mike Dean blows his whistle.

    That's about as nervy a first half as you'll ever see.

    Wolves just do not look comfortable at all when Cardiff have a set piece. Every time Neil Warnock's side play a long ball into the box, the Wolves back line is far too easily beaten.

    It's pinball in the box and somehow the visitors clear it away again.

    Meanwhile at the other end, Romain Saiss unleashes a powerful shot from long range which sails high and wide into the stands.

    A waste.

    Kenneth Zohore wins a free-kick after being brought down by Romain Saiss.

    Yanic Wildschut fires a tremendous shot and John Ruddy matches it with a tremendous save.

    This is tense.

    Callum Paterson whips the ball across goal and no one's there, but Cardiff build up again and Joe Bennett fires inches wide of the post after a defensive mix up from Matt Doherty.

    It's now Cardiff's turn to win possession and push towards goal. Craig Bryson is found in acres of space and, yet again, it takes about three Wolves players to clear the danger.

    Willy Boly is the one who sends the ball back again. Nervy stuff for Wolves fans. And the boss.

  10. Intriguing clash of stylespublished at 20:16 British Summer Time 6 April 2018

    With Wolves dominating possession and territory, the visitors have rather taken the sting out of the atmosphere here.

    It's an intriguing clash of styles. The patient, technically accomplished league leaders against Neil Warnock's more abrasive, direct Cardiff side.

    Leo Bonatini has gone down again, this time holding his leg after a challenge from Sean Morrison.

    The forward, on loan at Wolves from Al-Hilal, looks in some discomfort.

    Leo Bonatini goes down holding his head after a challenge when the visitors make another break forward, but the Brazilian sheepishly gets back up, still clutching his head as his side keep the ball.

    The tempo of this game has slowed down considerably.

    Cardiff 0-0 Wolves

    Diogo Jota picks up the ball and tees up the onrushing Benik Afobe into the Cardiff box but Joe Bennett is on hand to neutralise the danger.

    It's died down a tad at the minute with either side looking content to keep possession.

    Cardiff 0-0 Wolves

    Cardiff are dominating much of the opening 20 minutes and Wolves do not look comfortable when the Bluebirds push forward.

    Both sets of fans are in fine voice this evening, but the travelling support will have seen little to be positive about from the last 10 minutes after such an impressive opening few minutes.

    Conor Coady loses possession in such careless fashion and Cardiff capitalise, feeding through Kenneth Zohore who flashes wide of the mark.

    A rare lapse from the Wolves captain.

    Cardiff 0-0 Wolves

    A Cardiff free-kick sails into the hands of Wolves keeper John Ruddy.

    The bumper crowd in the Welsh capital fell silent before Joe Bennett fired goalwards - a bit like he was attempting a conversion.

    The atmosphere is electric inside the Cardiff City Stadium, with the home crowd in good voice after a flurry of set-pieces for their side.

    The pre-match predictions of a record league crowd look accurate too - it looks like at least 30,000 in here.

    Cardiff 0-0 Wolves

    Goodness gracious me. Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves has almost scored a worldie from about 30 yards out.

    All his goals have come outside the box this season and it shows as he fires with tremendous accuracy and forces a save from Neil Etheridge.

    After another corner (have you lost count already too?!), Diogo Jota tries his luck with a fierce shot from the edge of the box and Etheridge saves again.

    Cardiff win a corner of their own as Willy Boly nods Aron Gunnarsson's long throw away. It falls to Sol Bamba who's in acres of space and Wolves need three men to block his shot away.

    Yet another corner follows, which an unmarked Bamba nods well wide of the mark. It's all happening here!

    Wolves have the first chance of the game as Benik Afobe bursts into the box from the right wing and Cardiff just about clear their lines for a corner.

    It comes to nothing for the visitors and, in the midst of sending the ball upfield, Wolves captain Conor Coady clatters into Junior Hoilett. Tasty!
