Good win today. Second half not as good once Carayol went off but we got it done. Mustapha has scary pace and will put defenses on alert when he plays. Thought Iorfa offered a lot in an attacking sense and makes a good wing back with slightly less defensive duties. Well done lads
Look that's some decent win if you ask me - considering the Norwich defeat / much changed vs Cardiff and a tough place to go. Massive fan of Carayol as mentioned before when he's playing his A - game / good day. Very good win, however only really worth it IF we back it up with a H win vs Hull...... lets see what happens Sat. COYB. Pleased with that..... On the 1% chance we're capable of going on some form of run ( be just our luck and sum up the season if Carayol gets injured in training now ) that it's important Cardiff beat Bristol City tomorrow to PERHAPS open some kind of door. As pathetic as we've been, as a fan you've got to have some form of hope at times. That said, it's the hope that ruddy kills you.............. I just want us to win every game like everyone of you!
Late to today's party and hello we won away to in form team. Stretchy got it right, and I wish I had his optimism! Very good 3 pts and what a find Mustapha is. One gets that feeling that if only half of our talented injured like Huws etc hadnt missed half the season, we could be way up there. Lets keep the spring in our stride and go on a good run...and finish just off the play-offs! Surprised Celina was rested but nice front line depth to squad now. well done all.
90 minutes of utter ****e you should have been three up at half time and spent the second half sending the ball towards the Moon as did we, dire, see you next season
I'd love to share stretchy's optimism, but realistically, if we did make up the points gap to Sixth, one of the teams 7th-12th will probably make it up as well. Looked like a good win and good performance today, the question is will it last? I have no faith left that it will.
Mike - I don't believe in zillion years we'll make the play offs, but I truly believe we will hang on there, and will not be more than 6 points off. There will be lots of twists and turns . As I write this, there's probably 8 or 9 teams fighting for that one play off pace (I think the top 5 are home n dry)
If we can finish in the top 10 and above Norwich it won’t have been a total disaster this season, at least progress on last years mess. Decent enough performance today and for the last three games to be fair, let’s back it up with a decent home win next Saturday! All those that think Mick will be done at the end of the season..... I’m not so sure.
I like this point of view - people have often got their knickers in far big a twist this season that necessary. * We operate on a tiny budget * have had often 6 + injuries for every single game of the season * With a horrible atmosphere for the players to play in at Portman Road / Mick issues Yet, we still find ourselves ahead of massively overbudget Norwich and in a decent position given the season. I like it! Put yourselves in the mix, ask questions..... all you can do!
Well called Stretchy and with Cardiff winning, we are somehow six points off sixth. I highly doubt that we will put together a winning run that will be required for a realistic play off charge, but at least we are closer to bothering the top of the table rather than the clubs around the relegation zone.
Worth noting that since being dismantled by Fulham at the turn of the year, we've conceded 4 goals in 8 games.. (One of which was in the 96th minute up in Norfolk) Now if only we could return to putting the ball in the net with some of the regularity that we saw at the start of the season.
I wonder if we COULD perhaps try - Bart Spence / Vickers / Chambers / Knudsen Carayol / Skuse / Connolly / Celina Waghorn / Garner Could be very well balanced and make us an absolute threat going forwards. Would love to see that. Massive fan of Carayol when he's having one of his on days. Absolute baller.
Have to say I prefer Iorfa as an attacking threat over Spence. 3 at the back for me at the moment. Don't agree with needing Connolly and Skuse as holders in that system though.
