Trott Debuts as Cardiff City Secure Hard-Fought Point
IslandStats.com
Nathan Trott made his Cardiff City debut on Thursday night, helping his new side to a hard-fought goalless draw and a valuable clean sheet against Port Vale.
Manager Brian Barry-Murphy made three changes to the team that faced Peterborough on the opening day, with Trott coming in for his first start. He was joined in the starting XI by the returning captain Calum Chambers and winger Chris Willock.
The match at Vale Park was a physical affair from the start, with City striker Yousef Salech receiving a kick to the face from Port Vale's Jesse Debrah just two minutes in. Fortunately, Salech was able to continue, and the game settled into a tight, cagey contest.
Trott's performance was a solid one, as he commanded his area and ensured City secured a clean sheet. The point on the road is a positive result for the Bluebirds, who will now turn their attention to their Carabao Cup Round One clash with Swindon Town on Tuesday.
