    Cardiff v Swansea

    Cardiff v Swansea Saturday 18 January 12:30
    Now that we have meekly bowed out of both Cup competitions (League Cup 0-1 to Wycombe, FA Cup 3-0 to Southampton) and given our mid table position with not a signing in sight this transfer window, what is there to look forward to the rest of this season except beating our fierce rivals Cardiff!
    Well unfortunately they are on a bit of a roll after beating promotion favourites Sheff Utd on their own patch in the FA Cup last week and a four match unbeaten run in the Championship.
    The Swans last away league game was a 4-0 humiliation by relegation threatened Portsmouth, who had lost the two games before and then the two games after we played them.
    The Southampton game showed up two things. The huge gap between the PL and the Championship and how weak our squad is. We played four full-backs across the back four at Southampton due to injuries - defenders Cabango, Darling, Pedersen, Parker injured and Tjoe-A-On glued to the subs bench all season without a league appearance.
    Which Swans team will turn up on the day who knows but if they cannot be motivated for this match then they shouldn’t be at our club.

    jackaway - the last part of your post is my worry too, which Swans team will turn up.
    Reminds me of that nursery rhyme - “There was a little girl who had a little curl right in the middle of her forehead”…….., change singular to plural and the rhyme continues ……… “when they were good they were very very good but when they were bad they were horrid”.
    This so reminds me of the Swans team this season, the inconsistency and the sideways and back passing to the goalkeeper on repeat until we lose the ball.
    Cross fingers and everything you’ve got that Cabango and Darling make it and play tomorrow otherwise it could be another shambles.

    Cardiff 3 (Robinson 47’, 51’, Goutas 64’) - Swansea 0
    So sorry for the fans that travelled to witness that inept performance. Not one of our players fit to wear the shirt
    First one Darling gave Robinson too much space, he had time to bring the ball down before scoring
    Number two Tymon unbelievable suicidal back pass to Darling
    Number three Tymon and Darling poor marking for the header
    So simple, so feeble.
    Ten goals conceded and none scored in the last three away games, relegation form.

    Another embarrassing away defeat to a relegation threatened club.
    This one in particular very hurtful to Swans fans.
    Where do we go from here, sack the manager or is it the owners fault for not giving him the tools to do the job properly?
    We seem very one dimensional in our play and that’s the manager’s fault.
    We have the weakest squad since relegation and it’s finally caught up with us after selling our best players every season.

    What’s going on boys? We’ve become everybody’s punch bag, conceding sloppy goals and unable to score any.
    We had a solid defence beginning of the season with the same players, how have they suddenly become so bad.
    If Darling wants his move away he needs to play better than that, mind you not one of them can come out of yesterday with any credit.
    Have the players lost confidence in the manager and his style of play. We’ve had some good results this season and only recently beat an in form QPR.
    Whatever is wrong needs sorting pronto. We play top of the table Sheffield United at home on Tuesday and Norwich away next Saturday and I fear if we continue on this downward trajectory we’ll end up fighting relegation. At the moment we couldn’t beat our way out of a paper bag and are conceding goals for fun.
