Match Day Thread Cardiff City FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 10th August 2024 - KO 12:30

Absolutely. Noticed that. Was nice to see. Some quality link up play that's really hard to stop. He was like his old self today. That side of Hume, Roberts and Brown is up there with the best in the league.

We are honestly a proper DM, ST away from pushing IMO.

Assuming we keep everyone. Which, as we know, is unlikely. Would love it if we did mind. Give it a proper go.

 

The view of the game from the captain

 

I predicted Clarke would get off to a flyer and then leave late in the window. Really hope that isn’t the case…

 

Well a nice away win with a clean sheet will undoubtedly make all the forums and doubters extremely happy.
Then on the other hand..........

 

Absolutely over the moon with the start.

neil to improve, Ballard to come in, hopefully a striker and the more time with this system the better it’s going to get.

Mayenda very poor today for me

 

hopefully it goes the same way as your Rigg prediction!!

 

This lad is growing on me. Like his attitude seems very honest.
Winning as we did without the ball for long periods will do everyone's confidence the world of good.
RLB can rightly say. Stick to the plan and keep working it works.
Loads more to come I think

 

Rashford just missed a sitter, Mayenda's wasn't.

 

The commentators kept missing the point saying Clarke was quiet.

He doesn't have to have the ball, he occupies two defenders just by being there.

We pushed up the right a lot more and, when we did switch, Clarke had more room.

Teams hate it when both wingers are 'alive'.

 

The same way as most of my predictions tbf

On Rigg - still feel he’s unlucky not to be starting games.

 

I still think he leaves. I know the club are trying to ask him to stay till Jan but I think he will go at the end of this window.

 

to be fair both Browne and Jobe were good today. Neil was a bit off it. But I don’t know who I’d be dropping to bring Rigg in after today

 

same. And goals like today will only accelerate it.

personally would rather it happened like now rather than in two weeks. So we can spend the money on a striker

 

I think Clarke stays

 

I hope so.

 

Rigg over Jobe but that’s just a personal opinion, I’ve always thought that but the club clearly don’t which is fair enough. We’ve got a couple of excellent prospects there though, definitely.

 

Jobe 8 and Cirkin 9.

Actually Patto was immaculate so a 6 is harsh.

 

Jobe was class today, looked a different player than last season - he could be huge for us this season

Rigg played well when he came on, came on at RM - going to be hard for him to displace the CM 3 of Neil Browne n Jobe but its a long hard season so he will 100% play his part
