A few points:
1. It was a pre season FRIENDLY. The result, ultimately, means nothing.
2. Celtic have been back training for two weeks longer than we have- that maybe doesn't sound a lot for pro footballers, but at this stage of the season it is MASSIVE!
3. Celtic are - like it or not - a massive club, with INTERNATIONAL players. They might play in a mickey mouse league and would maybe be mid table in the EPL at best, but their players are still, mostly, internationals and are generally of a higher standard than those found in the championship (hence why commons, hooper, ledley etc headed up there).
4. MM is a couple of games into his career at Cardiff. He's still getting to know his squad. You could argue he would learn more tonight than if we had played some conference side and hammered them 10-0.
Basically we lose a meaningless pre season friendly 1-0, to a team who are better than anyone else we will play in the championship this season - and who are also much fitter than us at the moment - and people want to chuck in the towel already? It's pathetic.
Give MM a chance!
Rant over!

You're perfectly correct. People expect too much and it's no need, especially this early into the season
Great first post by the way
