What a load of bullshit, nobody on that pitch gave a toss contrary to what we were told after these talks. Gutless, clueless and as usual hopeless going forward. With Hobbs now apparently out for the season I can't see where the next point is coming from. The only reason I'll attend the remaining 3 home games is because I have a season ticket, otherwise I would not waste my money on watching that garbage. Barmby needs to step down, I admire him as a man, and a footballer but this opportunity in management has arrived too soon, I'd love to see Mick McCarthy, he may not be the most thrilling choice but he knows this division inside out. About the team, how does Cameron Stewart continue to get a game? He's ****ing ****! I'm not the biggest fan of Garcia but at least he'd put a shift in. Olofinjana is one of the most talented players in this division and a darn sight better than Evans and McKenna but he can't get on the bench for some reason, people who say he had a stinker in the Blackpool game and justify this as a good enough reason to leave him out are morons, it was his comeback game he needs a run of games to get his sharpness back. Jay Simpson isn't a world beater but **** me he's a hundred times better than that shower of **** Cullen, why is he our plan B in attack?? Listening to the Pompey game the other night Burnsy said afterwards that he can't see there being money to spend in the close season, if this is true I'll seriously worry about our prospects for next season. If the Allams lose interest and spit their dummy out cos they can't have the stadium we're screwed. We've completely thrown away this season after being in an excellent position in January, I lost faith a few games ago and realized the play-offs were out of reach, hopefully the deluded among us will now wake up and smell the coffee.
Do you know a thing? Did you watch the same Blackpool game as me? Olofinjana has shown nothing. Firsly how can you say the players don't try? How do you know that? Are you in that dressing room? Secondly how can you blame Cullen at all for today? Just because play offs are out of reach does not make us ****.
People may disagree with me but I thought the effort was there today, worryingly it wasn't enough and Coventry worked us out and stopped us playing. After the own goal went in you could see Rosenior trying to gee the players up and we looked to be showing more purpose going forward, the final touch let us down again. No qualms with the result, but having watched the game with someone who was at Pompey mid week and they said the effort was streets ahead of then.
I think them spending £50m of their own money and (potentially) saving the club from liquidation gives them the right to do whatever they want with the club. Equally, you have the choice whether or not to vote with your feet about the product that they are trying to sell you. It looks like the years of mediocrity may well be returning. That's what happens when you try and run a club on an even keel. There are more than 3 bigger clubs in this division based on fan base and, everything else being equal, that suggests that we shouldn't expect to be promoted any time soon. Everything else is ambitiously spending somebody else's money.
You clearly didn't read the post! So because Oli had a bad game in his FIRST GAME BACK he should be discarded? He was one of Cardiff's best players last season, why do we need 2 holding midfielders at home to Coventry? At least he has something to offer going forward you goon. Did you not go to the game today? They didn't give a ****. I'm not blaming Cullen I'm just saying he's **** and shouldn't be our plan B in attack. Well no, not making the play-offs doesn't make us ****, playing **** makes us ****.
Oli should have been in the team as soon as koren was injured. Even in his **** performance against Blackpool, you could see he can pick a pass and offer that link from the middle to the forwards.
Olifinjana was not setting the world on fire at Cardiff, many Cardiff fans where not his biggest fan, was far to inconsistent. Cullen is not ****, we just don't have a plan B tactically and we need to figure one out. Barmby will hopefully learn that.
Right I'll chip in my two cents... 1. ANYONE who thinks Oli is better than McKenna is deluded. Other than what 2/3 games this season... McKenna has been play of the season candidate throughout, does his work without anybody really noticing! 2. Cullen may not be sh**e... but he's not good enough for this level! He's not a plan B and the fact he got preference upfront to Matty Fryatt who was shipped out to the left wing was an absolute disgrace. 3. To be honest we didn't even treat today as a league game; as I said to the gents sat behind me it simply felt like Crawley again where we'd put out a team (inc. bench) that wasn't our strongest and couldnt win the game. 4. Im getting sick of saying this every single week and after Tuesday I thought my problems had been sorted... but apparently not because blind-arse Barmby can't see this! WHERES JAY SIMPSON?!
This Cullen/Fryatt thing is nonsense though. None of know who has the best left foot out of McLean, Fryatt and Cullen so who are we to say it's a disgrace that he put Fryatt out to the left. NP used to do the exact same thing when he played a front 3 (Barnsley Away and West Ham at home in particular). Feel free to criticise stuff we actually can have a clue about but this is a bit silly.
Well I disagree with it, mostly because he's 19 but also because I think he shows qualities a striker should have. I think in a proper attacking team he would score goals.
I think my problem is that I continue to think that he's about 21, he seems to have been in his teens for yonks. Still, I don't think he should be making the team ahead of a certain Nuclear Power Plant employee.
Cullen tends to be playing slightly deeper than the other two when we do it. I know he wasn't yesterday, but I think that was partly due to the fact Evans was hobbling around telling the bench he needed to come off even before Cullen was brought on so we were being forced back all the time.
Cairney should have come for Evans and Fryatt and Mclean should have stayed where they were, I couldn't believe it when Cullen came on Fryatt was moved out wide. Ridiculous.
