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 ).
