Slade out brigade out in force

Haha, what a surprise! After a convincing win two weeks ago in which you would have been a very picky fan to find much wrong with, we lose to a team bound to be in the promotion mix, the signs are flooding the messageboard.

I know I will get a barrage of stick for this but I honestly don't know what he is doing wrong. Everyone has bad days. We came into this game with 3 new injuries on top of our previous ones and a striker crisis.

We sit 3 points off the play offs with barely any money being made available and stillk he is not good enough.

We are lucky that we are only 3 points from top six.

James incase you hadn't noticed there are 13k Slade out brigaders who have gone missing every home game attendances don't lie

If it wasn't for Marsh this season we'd be right in the trouble zone. Our defence has been opened up more times than I care to remember only for Marsh to save the day.

Think you've had too many party rings before bed sunshine.

We could have won massively today and I'd still have no faith in him
I could spent hours writing why I think he is an awful manager but I think most people can see it.

Like most of his players he has brought in he is not at this level.

Tan won't remove him unless we are in fear of relegation.....So he is here until the end of the season, so is a pointless exercise.

He had a free pass last week. The win was nothing to do with him

Seriously mate, your joking right where do you start

1 - Team selection

2 - Player positions

3- Formation

4 - Tactics

5 - Lack of Plan B

This is just for starters, please feel free to add to the list as there are many more examples.

There are only 2 reasons why we sit where we do in the table -

1 - David Marshall

2 - Other results going our way in a pretty poor Championship, I reckon my sons under 16's football team could hold there own in this years division and could confidently beat the City

Dont let Paulh and OriginalGrangeEndBlue catch you.

As I understand it Slade hasn't got the money to buy quality, that's why he is buying lower league players. Malky blew a fortune on average players and the football was dire, yet some on here praise him to the hilt

Ole pissed the most money up the wall but Slade has signed lots of players and only 1 is a regular in Peltier. 1.5m on Doyle and O'Keefe is a sign he can't be trusted with money. The Championship is awful this year and we should take advantage of it but we won't do anything with that plum in charge. It's a sign of how bad the division is that we are 3 points off the playoffs and we can't pass or score.

You should know how pathetic we were then.

If you listened to the Radio Wales commentary then you would have heard Gabbs saying the same thing as many of the fans have been saying for months. Ralls has to play in the middle, drop Whitts or if he has to be played then put him on the left, Jesus wept even Kevin Ratcliffe has been saying the same. Also playing 4-4-2 against Derby's established five man midfield was madness. The way we set up yesterday the game was lost before it had even kicked off.

My thoughts exactly

Top post.

The plain fact of the matter is that with our current run rate we will end up as follows

Cardiff City
Played 46
Won 16
Drawn 19
Lost 11
Goals for 46
Goals Against 38
Points 68

Far away from promotion but nowhere near relegation

Another season of mid table mediocrity.

The thing that frustrates me the most is that Slade plays 4-4-2 no matter what the opposition or circumstances.

By his own admission he doesn't have a lot of options upfront. I would say he has one option - Jones !!

It's arguable whether it's Slade's fault that he hasn't got options but if we accept that is position surely anyone with half a brain can see that we do have a strong squad of midfielders that could be better utilised in a 5 ?

We have Ralls, Whitts, Gunnarsson, Dikajoi, Noone, Kennedy, Ameobi, O'Keefe, all of whom can do a decent job at this level in a 5 man midfield.

Why not play Jones up top with Dikajoi and Whitts holding with Kennedy, Ameobi and Noone breaking to joining Jones, particularly at home ? It would certainly give us more goal potential than we've seen for a good few seasons.

Good managers play systems that accommodate the players they have available to them. Slade plays the system he is most comfortable with no matter what.

Dave Jones was wedded to 4-4-2 but, arguably, when you have players like Bothroyd, Chopra and McCormack, playing 2 upfront was perfectly sensible

I know I will get a barrage of stick for this but I honestly don't know what he is doing wrong

Yes, I agree to some extent but you added to the situation by starting a thread on the subject!

Yep,

Yet some say our season under malky was poor, yet we scored over 70 goals, 2nd highest in the league that season. The way we took a decent Blackburn side apart on their own ground banging 4 past them was so awful and boring ! Really?? People forget how well organised we were and how we set up different at home and away!

Can't see usever having 4 shots on goal now never
Mind scoring them!
