Cardiff City - v - Leeds United ***Matchday Thread***

[BelfastAndy]

http://i65.tinypic.com/doqt6g.jpg


Cardiff defender Sol Bamba is set to return against his former side on Tuesday after being rested on Saturday.

Bluebirds full-back Lee Peltier should be fit despite a knock, while winger Junior Hoilett is likely to start.

Leeds defender Pontus Jansson could return to the XI after missing the win over Ipswich with a muscle injury.

Striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga returned to Germany on Saturday after the birth of his daughter but came back to training on Monday and will play.

Match facts

Cardiff have lost their last two home league games against Leeds - more than they had lost in their previous 22 home games against the Whites (1).

Since he left his job as Leeds boss in April 2013, Neil Warnock has won all three league meetings against his former side, including a 2-0 win at Elland Road last season with Cardiff.

Warnock's last two home Championship defeats on a Tuesday came as Leeds boss - he lost 7-3 to Nottingham Forest in March 2012 and 3-2 to Hull in September 2012, but has not lost any since (W6 D3).

None of Leeds' last 48 away matches in all competitions have ended goalless - should there be a goal in this game, it would equal their second longest run without an away 0-0 in their history (49 games between November 2007 and August 2009).

The Whites have won six of their first nine league games of a season in the top two tiers of English football for the first time since 1999/2000 in the Premier League (also won six).


1 - 1 - but hopefully Bamba will do his Bambi routine with Hernandez running underneath him...between his gangly legs.

[BenidormBlanco]

Sol Bambi and Lee Peltier in a joke back 4, we should score at least 3 against those clowns, hopefully that'll be enough;D

[spaldy]

think we get back defensively to clean sheets with this game.

e3xpect that Lasogga, Roofe and Saiz will be a little too much for them.

2-0

[BenidormBlanco]

is it TV or just radio tonight, anyone know?

[Rev72]

Tough tough game for our lads this one..would take a draw and a win on Sunday..but I would also take 2 wins :O

[Tichi1]

is it TV or just radio tonight, anyone know?

Its on Sky at 7.30pm

[BenidormBlanco]

Cheers Tichi, should be able to get a live stream then, happy days!

[Tichi1]

Should be a good game BB - Looking forward to it, hoping for a narrow win - but not the end of the world whatever the result - as TC says it's very early season! and as said elsewhere would happily take 4 points from these next two games irrespective of what Wolves or Cardiff do.

[jimmybn]

Cheers Tichi, should be able to get a live stream then, happy days!

Looks like streams available on wiziwig etc . Maybe some kind posters could post better if there is any.

Also as I'm in the Netherlands for the foreseeable future I see you can international stream for a fiver from the OS unless I'm mistaken ? I did it for the last games but this one I'm not sure ???

Love to put one over these tarts and their piece of dog Schitt manager. They are expecting a biggish crowd :) lets rub there dirty noses into the sheep Schitt they are.

time4tv has sky sports links

tends to warn about being deceptive web site (I'm on a Mac (run ******* too) so I don't know what it's like on a pc)

My other go to site is a Russian one

http://livetv.sx/enx/allupcomingsports/1/

For this and Sunday's I'm just going legit with NOWtv and buying the week pass for £10.99 that's 2 games foe £5.50 plus tomorrow's cricket.

Of course I'll do the K-sports radio Leeds audio as the sky commentary will be crap. Why I can't get radio Leeds in Scotland because of contractual ****e is a bugbear.

My last ever game at Elland Road was against Cardiff in the 70's. Been too long. Have never missed a commentary/watch or forum (mostly lurking) since then.

[magnificowhite]

Was it Phillips? Thought it was klich who slipped.

[BelfastAndy]

Get him off. Confidence will be gone. He'll empty someone then we'll be down to ten......

[Rev72]

This Ref's a w@nker by the way.

[norfolk white]

Messing around at the back just like Saturday again.

[Rev72]

Game over..can't see us coming back from 2 down.

Keeper should have done better.

[magnificowhite]

Oh dear

[do_ron]

Should have kept to my original prediction Andy

[CalverleyBoy]

I had just said I don't like the way this is going, we are going to get trounced its one of those nights and Preston have gone ahead as well how bad can it be

[Rev72]

Not good this..cooper very very lucky not to get a straight red.

[magnificowhite]

MOT

[magnificowhite]

This is a hard watch. We loosing in every department.

[Rev72]

No doubt at all Cardiff are a good side but ffs talk about giving out gifts to your opponents.

[BelfastAndy]

Rarely out of our own half

[Rev72]

Get Philips off he is not on his game at all tonight.

[Rev72]

We are making them look good here..very poor from us this half,gifted them the 2 goal lead.

[Rev72]

Need that half time whistle and regroup.

[magnificowhite]

Cooper gone what a dick

[spaldy]

wonder what subs TC will do?

[Rev72]

Coopers off..what a f*cking idiot!

No way back now.

A thrashing to come.

WTF will be on his way shortly....

[do_ron]

What a plonker

[BelfastAndy]

W4nker

[Orgoner]

Bit dopey - he probably should've got a red for the first yellow.

Oh well.

[magnificowhite]

He even slows a bit before he makes tackle. He was so late it was a joke.

[ColombianWhite]

What the **** is Cooper doing ,only on live now
WTF
Making life difficult for ourselves - damage limitation
MOT

[Rev72]

Talk about gifting your opponents 3 points.

Gifted them the goals and we have been far too casual..just not at it at all.

Damage limitation now me thinks :(

[norfolk white]

Why oh why does cooper do this, he constantly let's the team down.

[Rev72]

Bit dopey - he probably should've got a red for the first yellow.

Oh well.

Agree Orgs..he should have got a straight red.

[Orgoner]

He was so late, it was probably meant to be his first challenge in the second half....

[ColombianWhite]

Say it again some strange selections , I thought we had learnt from the Millwall game , we need to have controlled aggression and not get bullied , need a target man if it Lassango or Grot please
Come on Leeds !!

[spaldy]

Really a bummer. And he's the captain. at least turn the band over to pennington and give him a chance.

[BelfastAndy]

He fkn strolled over to your man winging down the wing as if he was going to bar for pint.

[Rev72]

[QUOTE=Rev72;38664063]Come on you Leeds..no Millwall type performance please..fight fight fight!!!




What were yer saying Rev ffs

[Rev72]

Best thing to do now is get p1ssed..somebody go to the bar and just fetch me the fecking bottle LOL.

[do_ron]

Same sh/t different season

[Rev72]

Hmmm..what do I do?

Go to the pub..or..stay here and suffer with the rest of you???

Decisions decisions.

[Rev72]

Same sh/t different season

Not as bad as most seasons Ron but it feels like we are a team that can be bullied..and that is a worry.

[ColombianWhite]

Pennington on
need a change up top also 4 -4 - 1
Come on
MOT

[do_ron]

Yes Rev I agree need to calm it down a bit and limit the damage

[Fisher]

He was so late, it was probably meant to be his first challenge in the second half....

Made me smile did that

[CalverleyBoy]

The only good thing to night is that Fing stupid advert has gone off this site

[spaldy]

Like Roofe but think Lasogga would have been a better choice for this game. they came out hard.

[CalverleyBoy]

At least Hull have equalised againat PNE

[magnificowhite]

Get lasogga on for alioski and drop roofe back.

[Rev72]

How the feck did we not score???

[Rev72]

Like Roofe but think Lasogga would have been a better choice for this game. they came out hard.

Agree spaldy.

[magnificowhite]

Good response from our guys

[Rev72]

We have had more shots with 10 men than we did with 11 :O

[ColombianWhite]

Bit better from Leeds
Come on 10 men
Need Lassonga to finish
Come on lads
MOT

[Orgoner]

Right.

Treat it as a 0-0.

Don't do anything remotely daft to pick up any injuries (or more cards) and use it as a training session to try to keep possession under pressure and move to support the player on the ball and defend as a unit.

If we happen to sneak one on the break, maybe then look to give them some grief (perhaps a long ball over the top?), otherwise simply get a grip, calm down and prepare for Wednesday.

On, errr, Sunday.

[Rev72]

Kill me now

[magnificowhite]

Carved us open so easy

[Rev72]

Haven't we made em look good tho.

[Orgoner]

Time to pick up the jumpers and ball and get the coach started.

Bugger.

[Rev72]

Here comes Grot...

[ColombianWhite]

Fecking too easy
Need to change things
Grot and Viera
MOT

[BelfastAndy]

Blow the whistle ballbeg

[Rev72]

This could get really really painful...

[ColombianWhite]

Get Alioski into the gym ffs
MOT

[Rev72]

Another 25 mins to suffer

[norfolk white]

Makes it worse when you know that smug **** Warnock will be crowing how good Cardiff are.

[Rev72]

Consolation goal.

Yippeee!!!!!!

[magnificowhite]

Well done roofe

[Rev72]

Makes it worse when you know that smug **** Warnock will be crowing how good Cardiff are.

That's what is p1ssing me off pal..we have made em look good!

[magnificowhite]

One back and viera on

[Orgoner]

Never doubted them....

[ColombianWhite]

Come on Lads
keep fighting
MOT

[Rev72]

Not using it as an excuse cos we have not been at it tonight but that Ref is a w@nker!

[spaldy]

that red card really hurt.

[spaldy]

the refs not the reason for the red card but just the same. it's painful

[Rev72]

Well we are having a go at least.

[Orgoner]

Yes - putting in a better performance now....

[Rev72]

the refs not the reason for the red card but just the same. it's painful

He is still a w@nker tho :D

And yes..its very painful :(

[spaldy]

would anything be sweeter than coming back and seeing warcock's smug face?

[Orgoner]

Is it just me, or is Bamba is doing a decent Ya Ya Toure impersonation.

Just me, then.

[Orgoner]

Are there any home fans there?

[Rev72]

Blow the whistle Ref..

[do_ron]

We’ll get the points for singing

[Rev72]

just 6 more mins to go.

[Rev72]

Are there any home fans there?

All gone to see the sheep :O

[do_ron]

What’s Leeds doing with 8 players in the box, feck all to defend push up and go for it

[Orgoner]

Bambinho

[Orgoner]

Hoilett's not been toilet either.

That said, if we had eleven.....

[t_bird7982]

Phillips not having his best game.....should have yanked him off....team's been guilty of giving the ball away cheaply & not enough aggression....move on, next game >:(

[Rev72]

Well thanks a lot Cooper you useless tw@t!

[ColombianWhite]

Only positives is we got Viera and Pennington some game time
Come on Leeds
MOT

[t_bird7982]

I guess our resident troll will on soon enough to offer his pearls of wisdom & gloat that he told us so :mad:

[Orgoner]

Anything positive?

I guess we drew the second half with ten men, but Cardiff were never really in any danger, were they?

On, on, on.

[t_bird7982]

Anything positive?

I guess we drew the second half with ten men, but Cardiff were never really in any danger, were they?

On, on, on.

We looked disjointed & made schoolboy errors giving the ball away too often & lacked the usual threat up front

[ColombianWhite]

Think TC is making mistakes away from home - poor selections , need to have players who can scrap first and the play later , need OKane back and would use Viera before Kilch
MOT

[WTF11]

Why would a Leeds supporter gloat when we lose in such a disappointin fashion?

If we lose and do so whilst fighting and doing our best, the worst you can say is the best side won.

When we don't turn up, we don't know if the best team won, do we?

And the "troll" thing, very old, very predictable and yet so deeply amusing.

I'm glad I amuse you as you certainly don't amuse me one iota :zzz:

[Rev72]

Just spare a thought for all those Leeds fans who travelled all that way and paid all that money to watch that pile of sh1te tonight.

[galwaywhite]

Very disappointing game. Again silly mistakes cost us.. we were right in the game until the first goal, and it just got worse from there. Bad decision making, bad passing and then the red. 10 men battled hard in second and made more chances than 11 did but the damage was done. Sunday game now massive.

[WTF11]

I'm glad I amuse you as you certainly don't amuse me one iota :zzz:

Sarcasm not so easily detected "down under"?

Thought Warnock was gonna shoot his load on the pitch after the game.

Seems we struggle against direct teams..like we did against Millwall and Cardiff tonight..need to adapt better and not let teams bully us.

Keeper was poor tonight as well.

[philipspark]

We missed O'Kane. Ref was dubious. The fact that they didn't have a single card. Either means they had perfect tacklers and no foulers or something else. Need Sheffield and Wolves to draw now.

[fredlufc74]

So we lost, it happens. Are we going to crucify any player that makes a mistake in a game now! Yes mistakes were made but lets not dwell on them.

As for slating the selection by TC. I think he has a better idea than all of us who plays for the team.

[Rev72]

Come on tho fred what Cooper did was inexcusable for a so called professional..yer captain as well..he left us up the sh1t creek without a paddle for the whole 2nd half..we have all rightly praised Cooper for his efforts so far this season but tonight was like the Cooper of last season.

I agree, especially with the time on the clock until the end of the half. But it is what it is Rev mate. Rash decision by our Captain, but others make the same mistakes and no doubt we will see others this season.

We have lost 2 games and are doing a lot better than I though we would at the start of the season.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

If there is one good thing about our squad this year, is that we have a variety of types of player, and what TC maybe needs to learn, remember this is his first season in English football, is what players in our squad, will be most effective against each opponent, maybe 1 11 full of pace and flair, another very solid and organised throughout, I don’t know the solution, I aint taken my uefa pro licences yet, however, we should give TC, and his players a chance, it aint like we are fighting against relegation, or in a boring midtable position, we are in a promotion battle, and that’s where we want to be all season, imo, we will be there all season, the club is good this season, we WILL be promoted, MOT!!!

[fredlufc74]

Having watched the match, where are people slating Alioski for going down to easily. I was swearing at the screen when he almost jumped to the ground after a few challenges.

No doubt he can play but needs to toughen up.

[Rev72]

So far so good fred and like you I think we are doing better than we expected..but that is the problem now isn't it..the expectancy levels.

Hate losing..but hate it even more when we gift our opponents the points like tonight and Millwall.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Rev we are still right up there, losing against 2 bogey sides is annoying, but when we beat the wendies, we will have had a very good first quarter of the season, 7 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses X 4 = promotion, even if the last 2 games are 1 draw and 1 loss, we will still be promoted! MOT!!!

[fredlufc74]

Hate losing..but hate it even more when we gift our opponents the points like tonight and Millwall.

Will alwsys be the same Rav mate. I'm gutted we lost but this team is quite new and they still have a lot to learn about Championship football, as well as TC.

But if they take anything away from this game then I hope both TC and the squad learn something. I will start critising then if they don't but not at the moment as we have only lost 2 games

[mick64]

I hope Christianson isn't becoming a" Tinkerman " manager, didn't think he had to make five changes tonight. By doing so it handed the initiative to the Taffies. Saiz, Lasogga and Vierra should have started. He has to learn fast that in this league you have to play your best eleven. Thought the Ref was a **** and gave us nothing all night. As for Cooper, so annoying that a lad who has improved so much this season can revert to type when the pressure is on, could have been sent off for the first foul but was plain stupid for the second card.on a night when Sol Bamber outplays our midfield on his own I think we need to put this performance to bed and learn our lessons. MOT.

[BelfastAndy]

We were beaten by a better team. They were faster, stronger and better technically.
