it was just a **** performance be it tiredness, mentality whatever it happens in a 46 game league we raise them up after sunderland just to tear them down it was an awful off day we move on plymouth at home is a biiig one now
Aren’t we just commenting on the game as we see it Good performance Praise Bad performance Criticism there’s no positives I can see from this game? Can you ?
nah it was utter ****, worsened by another probable horror injury to a new signing you have to hope its a massive one off, repeat it next week and well.. the home form has to improve surely it cant stay like this.. like surely
with tonights game the fully uptodate home table cardiff move up a few places please log in to view this image portsmouth, oxford. their home form is remarkable.. how? almost as many points at home than we do in total
We beat Sunderland because their keeper put the ball in the net, we didn’t get that luck tonight and we can’t rely on it saving us. I just can’t get over how poor we are in the final 1/3 and in the box. A team at our level should do better at crossing, execution of the final passes.
to be optimistic.. we still have the bottom 4 worse away teams in the league to come to the kc... 3 of whom are below us in the league.. please log in to view this image
We probably need to win all 4 of those just to be in with a chance of getting off the foot of the home form table, which is absolutely shocking.
Doesn't fill me with much optimism when over the last 10, all our 3 wins have been away from home, 2 of them against promotion/play off teams. Seen the script too many times.
Only saw the last part of the game, by then it was clear that they were sitting deep and shutting us out and we didn't have enough to break them down. Not hugely surprising under the circumstances but we have to stop getting into that position against poor teams. Think we all knew it was likely though. Any time we're expected to win it always bites us in the arse. It's incredible that people were penciling in 6 points from tonight and Plymouth given our record. On Kamara, I can't comment on his overall performance but that moment at the end was so typical of him. He had loads of time to get a ball in but hesitated and faffed until eventually he gave the ball away, seemingly just because Cardiff were appealing for offside and for some reason he couldn't just crack on with getting the ball in and let the officials worry about whether he was offside or not. We're often told that it's just his style that looks a bit languid and he is actually trying despite how it looks, but sometimes it's pretty clear that that lack of urgency directly causes him to lose the ball and it makes it hard to accept this "it's just his style" thing.
Cardiff are so extraordinarily mediocre. They didn’t have much confidence going into tonight and we could have won in second gear, unfortunately we didn’t get out of first. We showed good quality to get into excellent positions in the final third but we never pick the right final ball or the final pass is over hit. Tonight feels like one of many missed opportunities. We can’t keep passing these up or it will only take one of the bottom 3 to hit any sort of form and we’ll be in real trouble.
Before that though he'd put a first time ball in but Pedro and Crooks didn't anticipate it, so I can understand some indecision when the opportunity comes again. Honestly thought he and Amrabat gave us impetuous which was lacking, but it's a game of opinions I suppose. What's not an opinion though, is that we didn't lose tonight because of Kamara.
