    Cardiff desperately need a goal.

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff are 15 minutes away from failing to score a single goal during the festive period.

    They surely need to risk conceding a second in an effort to score.

    They are toothless.

    Isaak Davies has given Blackburn something to think about with his pace.

    Mark Harris turns and shoots, but his effort is as weak as my New Year's resolution willpower.

    Andy Legg

    I don't know why Callum Robinson is holding his hands out (he looked upset at being substituted), he's had a poor game, he's given possession away three times in a row which led to the goal.

    Another half chance for Ben Brereton-Diaz, but his shot is straight at Ryan Allsop.

  9. YELLOW CARDSpublished at 65 mins

    Mark Harris is booked for an angry reaction.

    Cardiff need to keep their composure.

  10. CLOSE!published at 64 mins

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Ben Brereton-Diaz should make it 2-0 after timing his run perfectly, but Ryan Allsop gets down to make the save.

  11. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Sheyi Ojo is seeing plenty of the ball since his introduction.

    Cardiff have reacted well to going behind.

    Andy Legg

    I'm surprised Jaden Philogene hasn't come on.

    Mark Hudson has got to try something, he's got to get the goal back.

  13. SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 59 mins

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Rubin Colwill, Sheyi Ojo and Andy Rinomhota are all on for Cardiff who switch to a back four.

    Gavin Whyte, Jack Simpson and Joe Ralls make way.

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Tyler Morton's cross is ideal for Sam Gallagher, but he mistimed his jump and headed over.

  18. Postpublished at 52 mins

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    I'm not saying the game is over.

    But of the 10 times Cardiff have conceded first this season, they've picked up just a single point.

  19. YELLOW CARDpublished at 51 mins

    Blackburn 1-0 Cardiff

    Ryan Hedges booted the ball into the crowd celebrating Rovers' opening goal and he was booked for it, apparently.

    It was all down to giving possession away from the centre circle.

    Callum Robinson has given that ball away so easy.
