Cardiff city post match thoughts

[NorthWestCorner]

Years of conservative rule has now caught up with is I'm afraid

Shopping in the bargain bin and taking big risks on older players no other club will touch.

I'm firmly convinced and have been for a long time that Rob Scott is trying to take us down from the inside to atone for how we treated his my way or no way brother when manager at DV.

Today was men against boys. Boys who aren't invested and not prepared to do what it takes to be a L1 player.

The 3rd goal had the stadium laughing at the manner of it.

We have no attacking players. Dan Gore cannot do it all himself.

How do we get better at attacking when nobody in the management team had any playing experience as such.

Cardiff didn't break out of 2nd gear and we just got dizzy at how they passed in and around us.

All I can say, those who wanted Paul Warne out, this is what the alternative was always going to be.

Never under PW did we not turn up and have our bellies tickled like too often we do these days and it's embarrassing to be a miller.

Further displays over the next month and I think it's going to get very toxic very quickly to those upstairs...and thats sad. We could have been so much more than what we are but we weren't prepared to risk it when Dikho and Taverner should have been Rotherham players

100% correct. Chances spurned and the rug pulled from under the feet of the managers who showed potential. It even went off last season when TS sold Rathbone from under the nose of Evans on the eve of the season.

The signings this year have been a mixture of desperation and absolute football naivety. The two Dutch players look like they would do well in a junior school team.

It is pure mismanagement.

I?d say the same but I?m still waiting for your clock to be correct.

Maybe change batteries.

Cool.

So you think Rob Scott is doing it on purpose? 🤣🤣 I?ve read some **** on here but this takes the biscuit.

I?m just on way back very poor and the young ones are being let down by the experienced ones.
Lack of urgency is not acceptable.
Worrying.

Totally agree. I can accept defeat but I can?t see any light at the end of the tunnel whatsoever.

[Stansmate]

We all know what the real issue is - TS has done his bit and should let go now.

Even if the management team gets the bullet , does anyone have any confidence in him getting it right - I think not - his judgement has never really been good , just fell lucky with Warney.

Cant rule out if he stays that we could end up an Oldham or similar

But yet again there will be the so called ? expert millers fans ? who?ll just bury their heads in the sand

Pssss poor times ahead methinks and demos are on the horizon

We're in this mess because we haven't recruited properly.

Knowingly going into the season absolutely threadbare and so lacking in quality at CB is criminal. Exactly how long have we had the knowledge that Odoffin and Humphreys wouldn't be here this season?

It's the same upfront. We start the season with only two fit senior strikers, one of which is Hugill! And then we go and sign Etete, a player who comes with questionable ability and a poor fitness record. If someone tells me we're relying on dross like McGuckin and Kayode then we'll be in L2 next season for sure.

Two weeks of the transfer window left. We desperately need reinforcements in key areas or we're going down.

The shame of it is that the average age of Cardiff's starting 11 was 22 years old. Six of their match day squad have come through their academy.

I was sat with my brother-in-law, who's a Cardiff season ticker holder. A quick 5 minute chat with him identified that with their young defence (19 years old average) and 'keeper with poor distribution, despite being instructed to play the ball out from the back, when they are pressed and put under a bit of pressure they make mistakes. I think we did this three times in total (?) - twice Cardiff made a mistake (giving the ball back and a throw in in the final third). Surely, a bit of pre-game planning would have identified this as an opportunity. Instead, we chose to put them under very little pressure when on the ball at the back.

Hamshaw seems rattled on the after match interview.

The illuminati on here will no doubt throw cold water on this but the same excuses as Evans got derided for last year are coming out all ready.

This is a **** show - amateur hour

4 games,2 wins,2 defeats,get a grip for f8cks sake,and now apparently the head of recruitment is signing bad players on a purpose because his brother has hard done by !!

[Citizen Erased]

Even poor chefs have to be able to buy or at least supplied with the ingredients in order to cook, be that at a Greasy Spoon or some Gourmet Bistro joint.

Our chefs have had a cheese slice and a packet of biscuits supplied to them and seem to be expected to make a dinner for 60 and it taste like fine dining....

Yes we beat a L2 team but only after penalties and scraped a win against 10 man Port Vale.

One shot on target in our last two league games. Does that worry you at all?

[Pocket rocket]

So Rob Scott is doing it on purpose?
The management team are cronies.
Hamshaw needs to go after 2 wins 2 defeats.

Everyone I present the most fickle fan base in the country.

It may only be 4 games in but for anyone with any football knowledge they can see the failings and the looming relegation.

But hey, let?s focus on the fans being fickle

[Shark27]

Being a Rotherham fan is so boring. Knowing that we are going to lose before we kick off is not how it used to be. We used to think we could have a fighting chance but these last few seasons we pretty much know that games like these will result in no points. For the Stevenage game there was hope of a win as but as soon as we play anyone half decent away pretty much ends with the same outcome.

Home games have no atmosphere apart from away fans. Young fans will stop coming to watch the Millers. My kids soon got bored albeit they aren’t that interested in football. I’m going the same way.

[Lolmorgan]

We need a Viktor in goal,a Dave Watson & Paul Stancliffe in defence, Johnnie Quinn & Gow in midfield & Rod Fern & King Ronnie in the forward line.Have we got 15,20 million that should sort it..
