Agree, Siam. And without wanting to blow our own trumpets too loudly (oh, **** it, no one else will) we've both got a pretty god track record on this predicting lark. Penalties. Again. We win. Again. I feel a song coming on.
It's definatly not over, we held them for 45 mins in the second half last night. If we can do the same in the first half Monday who knows! All i know is we need the first goal up there. What happened with our bench last night?? Where was Rudy and Kev? Also why start Blake who has hardly played all season!! I thought Malky had a fully fit squad to choose from? We desperatly need wingers too!! The amount of times Taylor was out wide last night but with no one in front of him to pass it to
Kev had a hammy so was unfit to play. Thought Rudy would have been the plan B! He should be away, especially given green's dropsy! Second half was mutch better, though we were steam rollered in the 1st half.
Most people seem to have written Cardiff off, I still think we can do it. Just got to put the ball in the net! If Whitts had managed to score in the opening minutes it would have been a completely different game.
We sometimes seemes to thing we were playing Italian football last night. Lingering around (while WH attackers pounced on us), looking for the Hollywood ball. ON other occasions we played long and into Sam's hands. We were ruffled and whilst we didn't get the rub of the green there were times when we simply didn't deserve it. I'm pretty sure we've seen the last of Earnie on his home turf. I was an optimist when he arrives and whilst he's always tried hard it was a mistake to come back, even though her was free. We need a proper handful up there next year, someone who scares opposing teams, and I don't mean BEAST. Any ideas? Sam Vokes, maybe? Or will Wolves be keen to have him back from B&HA/
Its definately not over for the fact that its only half time but with west ham 2-0 to the good then its highly unlikely that big sam will let that slip on his home ground. I think they will actually score more goals at home, Cardiff's best chance was at home and you never turned up and took advantage of it, I think its all done and dusted myself and cardiff will have to have another go next season......
we need a stronger striker to play alongside mason and do his donkey work, miller had a gilt edged chance and showed why he's gone 20 games without scoring, he does all his work outside the box and when he gets his chance (1/2 per game) he fluffs it. poor first touch and wasted. turner had a goal bound header cleared off the line, both their goals were fortunate in that whitts had his shot deflected onto the bar, collisons ends up in the back of the net. mason had a volley he should have scored with, we were hard done by IMO, but west ham better on the day... gunnarsson played very well. the spine of the team is excellent and a solid base to build around if we dont go up....
I think you are being too polite. We were worse than poor. Where was our passing game? Where was our closing down? Where was our will to win? West Ham weren,t much better than us, they just wanted it more. Having said all that if we score first on Monday we could yet sneak through.
It's a big shout now! Maybe for the best aye lads, you'd only get murdered every week playing like that up here!.
