Malky needs time to get it right

Our squad is not yet good enough

He is getting the best out of them that is possible

Our players are not consistant
Take todays game at villa
Odemwingie was not he same player that played against swansea
Bellamy had no where near the same energy as last sunday nither did cowie who was very poor today
Catherine was not as effective going forward
Gunnerson for mutch gave us less balance and forward options.
We have no game changers on the bench only like for like players.

Marshall was totally inept with the free kick imo oppinion he should have saved that positioning was wrong it didnt look too pacy without seeing it again ,,,,,and his attempt at a save for the second goal was comical and looked pathetic to say the least.

Finally I know there wont be many who agree with me but rudy gestede must be on the bench to give us a different option especialy if if we are going to eventually play a big man up front (cornelous) surely it would be advantagous to get the team playing in that style in readiness :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

He spent around £35m and didn't buy a winger or any player with flair. Shocking. Not surprised Moody was sacked. Where were the back up players to Ince and Montero? So much for a head of recruitment. We need a Noone but on the next level. In January we better get in someone like Sterling, Lennon, McManaman or Zaha or we're going back down. We offered nothing going forward today.

We are good enough to stay up. At least 3 teams in this league are worse than us, and 4 others are about the same standard. 17th will be a GREAT achievement for us, no matter how we achieve it. People talk about us as if they expect us to get a Champions League place!

Get real people!

You keep banging on about last week like it was a masterclass :lol:

Two awful teams barely created a chance between them and a set piece nicked it.

we're 13th, we're not doing that bad.
I know we're not pulling up trees at the moment and obviously there's room for improvement.If we make a couple of good signings in January things may look different.And there's Cornelius to come,hopefully he can prove himself in the premier.
It's not all doom and gloom,try and be a bit more positive.

Bellamy has a big influence on and off the field but is not as effective in attack as he was 2 years ago so why not replace him with Noone for the last 20 minutes ? A poor Villa team were there to be beaten.
Mutch offers a lot more than Gunnarson.

Didn't deserve to win, but didn't deserve to lose either.

Yes, a draw would have been about right...and even the Villa supporters around me today said the same

Quoting one lifetime season ticket holder: "If Cardiff are going to beat Villa, there will never be a better time than now the way we (Villa) have been playing!" :roll:

I certainly don't think he is getting the best out of the squad as a whole.

Hello I'm frank - Malky is the best Manager we have had since Jimmy Scoular! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :malky: :malky:

Re: ' Time to be frank and honest '

Sun Nov 10, 2013 9:17 am

Let's judge when we get some of the weaker teams at home, Swansea are the weakest at home so far and we beat them.

Let's also not forget we are yet to play any of the bottom three, so six games still to play against the weakest team in the League, Swansea have picked up six of their points against the bottom 2, and have Stoke at home today.

It wasn't the best of games but Malky will sort them and we have a new £8 million Striker to come in too, plus players in January. :ayatollah:

Annis I think your slightly wrong there ,,, I actually said I blamed marshall for our 2 conceded goals ,,, you have interpreted that to mean I blamed marshall for our loss
There were many reason why we lost imo
No width or pace up front
No creativity or flair in midfield
Marshall poor positioning for there first goal
I could go on but I wont
For the record I would set us up in a 4 2 3 2 formation
And my starting 11 with what we have within our fit to play squad would be
Marshall
Catherine caulker turner taylor
Medel whitts
Kimbo mutch odemwingie
Cambell gestede/bellamy
Subs
Lewis hudson bellamy/gestede noone gunnerson maynard cowie
Cornelous has not been included as he is not yet match fit but would obviuosly start or replace gestede on bench :ayatollah:

Ok Steve :thumbup: But ive just watched their first goal over and over it was superb, what about when Whittingham scores those type of goals, does it mean their goalies at fault every time?

Only problem with that is you are trying to put out 12 players both in your formation and the set up you put on. Might beat teams if we have 12 players.
