Match Day Thread Cardiff .City v Middlesbrough, Big Team...Fug Me?......

Agreed on the ref. Penalised Moore for ................ being a centre forward but let's them get away with obvious fouls. A candidate for addition to the Stroud and Hooper club.

A poor goal to concede. Vaulks lost his player and, overall, is having a poor game. Pack for Vaulks if no improvement.

Need to increase the pace and get our wingers and Wilson on the ball earlier. Trouble is they will look to waste time at every Warnockurtunity. Like using the towel to dry the ball for a defensive throw in.

 

Glatzel on for ............................................................ Murphy.

Didn't turn up again.

 

Desmond's hammie has gone again. Bacuna to right back.

 

Ojo!!!!!

 

Disappointing.

 

Horrible game
The ref was terrible.
Ralls and Vaulks were ineffective - they can’t be paired together again
2 points out of 12 at home.
Not good enough by a long distance.

Thankfully we’re away in next two games

 

They were always going to be tough to beat today. We couldn't find a way to counter their gameplan on our own patch - it's not as if we didn't know what to expect.

Don't want to come down too hard on individuals but Vaulks and Ralls together in midfield doesn't work. Ralls is always busy, but Bacuna would have been a better option than Vaulks alongside him going forward. He's far more dynamic than Vaulks, and he would have worked well with Wilson who was virtually having to play on his own behind Moore and eventually Glatzel.

A lack of meaningfull connectivity between defensive mid and attacking mid meant the ball kept on coming back at us.

Murphy offered very little again though I was quite impressed the way he helped out Bagan in defence. At least that side of his game was better but his lack of confidence going forward was evident again - I'd throw Whyte in there and give him a chance in this congested fixture schedule.

We don't seem to have too many problems at the back with the Morro/Nelson partnership in the middle and the revelation that Bagan has been on the left. Tutu probably out for the next one shows how vulnerable we are at RB. Bacuna will probably fill in again but I'd rather have him in midfield than back there.

All in all 2 points dropped rather one gained for me - perhaps I'll feel better in the morning.

 

You want to outlaw drying the ball with a towel ?

 

Yes when it is blatant time wasting in a defensive situation. Even we didn't do that under Warnock.

 

Well, I've heard it all now.
