Cardiff City Post Match Thoughts

[avondalemiller]

probably the worse game of the beautiful game ever i've seen. Defence absent for 1st goal, where was the last defender??? Victor started to come then stayed on his 6yrd line and made it easy for Ojo.
Nice passage of play and a great goal worked by us and finished by Crookes.
The game then went down hill into a farce.....Cardiff put a great cross in and bang........
I couldn't see the ball in the last 15mins.
Referee......Elteringham is in the same class of just going thro the motion and not giving any difficult decisions, same group as Salisbury, Gavin Ward and Eddie Idliton(?)....just refereeing by numbers......w*nkers. I feared the worse when i saw who the ref was.

Think I have seen it . Johanson's one hander from close range tonight.


Name me one better than that?

[mygiddypant]

Yes but he normally comes for them, throws himself at the ball, why not tonight?

From his perspective it might have looked like Ojo could have been caught and tackled. Whatever Viktor does Ojo is favourite to score.

Viktor's one-handed save was brilliant. He's proving to be another v good acquisition.

Still to come this month we play 3 of the top 6, a team who have won 4 of their last 5 matches and the double European cup winners.
Nobody said it was going to be easy

We were far better than hoof it Cardiff,that was a typical McCarthey team big physical and direct.Smudge was so unlucky in that first half he could have had an hat trick and they go and break away for their goal in the 43rd minute.We were playing all the football and deservedly equalised in the second half and going for the winner.Then the pitch gets covered by the blizzard preventing us from playing our game and they relished the conditions and stung us with a late winner.The officials were a complete disgrace and were wrong so many times and we were penalised.The positives were that the performance from the lads was very good.Now to Saturday and QPR.

I’ve never seen him play but I’m convinced that Vickers would’ve caught it.

Agree that was an outstanding save. A good shot stopper. But again in the 2nd half he was nowhere for a corner that dropped behind him and had to be cleared by a defender with Vic in no man's land. I've a feeling that other managers will target this and put may keep reoccurring

Is this why refs get threatened by supporters. At least one definite pen looked straight at linesman thought yes hes going to give it but no . Think he was to busy making a ⛄

Wrinks, on a positive spin, they've got to play us


I think the majority vote is the Ref was not good when it came to making the big decision tonight. Still, we shouldn't be relying on him when we should have put at least 2 if not 3 away before the first half ended.

Poor marking pushing too high and our last man thought he'd join in, only to be caught out stone cold. Should Johanssen have come out more? Yes I think he should have. No shame if their player still rounds him and scores but, it's all about coming off your line and making the shooting options harder. He more than redeemed himself later with an absolute world class one handed save which, as IBS has asked, have we've ever seen a better save than that at the NYS?

Harding had his poorest game so far for us and again showed poor marking to let them run in to plant a good header to take all points.

Look, we've had an amazing run of late and cannot really complain so it's dust ourselves down time and on to QPR at home on Saturday. a request to Warne, please play Olosundae at right back and with Lyndsay out for a few weeks, you need to put Sean MacDonald in for Barlaser or Wiles. We need that bite/terrier type in the middle which we missed tonight. Overall, I was pleased with our display shame we weren't duly rewarded a penalty or scored more ourselves.
