    Cardy got away with it tonight- big time.

    I have already read some of tonights after match comments on here , and I can?t think of a word strong enough to sum up that shocking performance. We were cruising in the first half, took our two chances well, and then it went haywire ,as soon as Cardiff pulled a goal back.
    In the second half there was only one team in it, and wanting to win the game. That team wasn?t us. Cardiff deserved a draw , and had they converted that glorious chance at the end , they would have finished with a draw. They dominated the second half, as we surrendered possession , and the territory to go with it.At the other end, Foster again, could have been a hero to the Clarets who made the long journey to the Welsh Capital. Instead he fluffed it. Surprise , surprise. Chuck in a couple of stupid , unnecessary yellow cards ,and that sums it up.
    When the team came over at the end to acknowledge the travelling fans, Parker looked really embarrassed to be going home with the win. He knew it, and so did we. Despite the welcome three points, I left the stadium feeling more than a bit disappointed with the performance. The fans deserve better than this . I know one thing- I couldn?t watch this every week.

    That won?t go down well on here Mal - when I say it a win is a win ffs

    On my part I could t agree more I posted a few times now that Parker could go for me.

    We always struggle when they bring big strong boys on and we simply get overrun , also when we eventually do change personnel we don?t change shape or stabilise to compose ourselves.

    We shrink like violets and concede possession all the time inviting teams in.

    If we?re going whole hog for last night the defence looked poor - Esteve - Pires and Roberts struggled badly - after 5 mins of second half wide men ineffective - gone not involved no outlet or offer as they get pushed off and bullied - hence we retreat backwards and are under pressure for long periods.

    I posted the other day if we don?t go up Parker will be gone and if we do go we?ll get smashed playing like this and he?ll have to go anyway.

    He?s brought Edward?s in and I like him but he wasn?t the answer for us , we already have a benson for impact ( similar players in my eyes ).

    Moan, moan pfhucking moan. We beat what’s in front of us and winning ugly wins promotions. In the bar last night on one screen Arsenal were dismantling PSV 7-1, Real were playing Atletico Madrid on another, we are miles off elite status but this season’s job is to get back to the EPL and we are in with a chance. I had a few bevvies last night, remind me did we win last night?

    Your face and mind change with the wind - read some of your posts leading up to the Preston game amd then how you changed your tune when we got spanked - last night first 45 we were decent and looked like a team who could hurt teams - someone switched a switch and we shrunk like violets and looked like a bottom of the league team,

    No
    One expects all teams to just roll over as you always so quaintly put it , what I will tell you if the results don’t pan out to your liking - you’ll be the first to moan and groan - let’s be honest players are $hite and it won’t be long before the managers $hite aswell.

    People are entitled to opinions even if they don’t just fall
    In line with your own you know .

    You most definitely should have been a politician

    Pragmatic attitude is my modus operandi army88, I go match by match and believe if we had a proper number nine we would pi$$ this league. To keep persevering with Foster is madness because his stats don’t warrant inclusion. Regrettably our recruitment staff have let us down, a number nine was our January priority and they went out and signed another winger who duplicates what we have in abundance.

    Words just fail me after reading the 1st 2 posts, and thanks for being the voice of reason BT

    Some of our fans are entitled and clueless who just want and expect us to turn up every week, smash the opposition and stroll back into the Premier league playing amazing football, well life just isn't that simple

    Stop bloody moaning and support the manager, who is doing an unbelievable job after the sh!t show of last August

    If I hadn't have known the score I would have thought we would have been beaten after reading some of the above, unbelievable

    Good hear that you are in good spirits after yesterdays rain
