' MY VIEW,CARDIFF AT THIS RATE KNOW HOW TO LOSE SUPPORT '

This was dire today,I'm now thinking did the Watford game ever happen

The City fans left the match wondering why they had made the efort,as City certainly did not.

Cardiff City 0 Rotherham 0

Cardiff City line up

CardiffCity v Rotherham Marshall, Brayford, Connolly, Turner, Morrison, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Kim, Noone, Jones, le Fondre.

CardiffCity subs: Moore, Fabio, Ralls, Daehli, Ravel, Adeyemi, Macheda.

Crowd 20,419 including about 400 hundred Rotherham fans.

Once again there looked barely 15,000 fans at the game.

I believe the pressure was on Russell Slade to deliver a victory today,no matter what,but I am starting to wonder if he has a plan B? or does he know how to open up some of the poorest teams in this division,because Rotherham like many others we have failed to beat are one of them.

The Bluebirds went in to this game with 5 consecutive home wins behind them,facing a Rotherham side that had not won for over 8 games

The game started with no urgency and the atmosphere was once again awful at home.

The first bit of life, like came in the 19 minute and that was from the crowd not the team,when we sang " We will always be Blue "

For 25 minutes Rotherham had most of the possession the game was dire so far,then a shot was fired in to our goal mouth from Rotherham and Turned had to quickly kick it out.

By the 34 minute we had not had a shot on goal

Then in the 36 min and 37 min Craig Noone had two good runs at their goal ,but the finishing was not there.

Kimbo and Brayford were now and again able to put some good passing together

Half time 0-0 was met by a few boos by the City fans.



Rotherham started the second half more lively,Marshall had to make a good save in the 49th minute

The match just seemed to be getting worse

In the 65th minute Jones was replaced by Macheda and for me Jones had been more than lazy today,as he had done nothing.

In the 68th minute another save by Marshall.

72nd minute Macheda had a shot but some how it just rolled along the the Rotherham goal line, our best chance so far,in fact I think our only chance

73rd minute Rotherham hit the crossbar.

79th minute Fabio came on for Connolly and a cheer went up.

84th minute Ravel Morrison came on for Le Fondre.

NOW THE SHOCK

Man of the Match for me, No City player, Pringle number 18 for Rotherham,for me he terrorised us
I honestly cant say any City player deserved it today.

If I was Rotherham, I would be disappointed that I had not taken the 3pts from us.


For me this was awful today, I said to someone, 2pts dropped,they replied,you mean a 1 pt gained after that garbage.

I suppose you could say another clean sheet

But over all on this performance we are a middle of the table team this season.

The match finished with loud boos from the Cardiff fans.

Next up a tough trip away to Bournemouth.

No surprise though is it.

The performances have been average to below par. How the results have not reflected this is turning out to be a mystery now.

Tan announced that the reason ST prices has risen is because us fans want to see good football. well Tan when are we going to see it?

even i have serious doubts about promotion on todays performance was abysmal! what happened to watford team full of fight energy?

Looked tired and out of ideas in the final 3rd today

even i have serious doubts about promotion on todays performance was abysmal! what happened to watford team full of fight energy?

You've opened your eyes at last have you?
Or did you actually watch a game?

Before the game I spent £98 on tickets and coach for Bournemouth and Charlton away games.

Having just watched that pathetic performance I am seriously thinking of writing off that money which I can ill afford and spending some quality time with my family instead of wasting it on that shower of shit.

Complete shower of shit. More passion and commitment from my boys team under13.
Plus I enjoyec it more crap shit game

That was the worst league home performance of the season today as we did not look like scoring today and Rotherham must be disappointed that they did not win because they outplayed us especially in midfield.
Gunnarson looked shattered and why he was not substituted I don't know, Kenwynne was out of sorts today and Connolly was poor.
Kim and Noone especially were our best players today and I think Ravel Morrison should have been on much earlier.There was very little fight particularly in midfield where we hardly won any knock downs and second balls.
It will be a very tough trip to Bournemouth as they are flying.

well if you watched every game you'd realise & wouldn't come out with your own stupid statements.

slade is a dire manager with no spark no ideas no flare. he totally to blame for this horrible football.

right manager with our players we would be romping this league.

This is the 3rd game in a row we have been awful. Paper, cracks springs to mind the last 2 games.

For the 1st time in 24 years it feels like a chore to go down the football.

If you have doubts then it's REALLY bad

Today we looked like a team who thought they had done the hard work at Watford and all they had to do today was turn up for another win. That isn't Slade's fault, Ole has assembled this squad and this squad don't have the correct attitude and character. This squad simply lacks the professionalism to consistently perform and succeed.

Sean Morrison is a constant worry. He's 6'4 and should be eating up every long ball pumped down his throat, but he got beaten several times today and this constantly happens. Connolly actually went for one of Morrison's headers in the first half because it was obvious Connolly didn't trust Morrison to win it.

Kenwyne Jones went back to the lazy player from last season and my initial thoughts are Le Fondre's comments bigging him up as the Drogba of the Championship might have gone to his head. There was no fight in Jones today, although he barely got any service to be fair. How many kicks from Marshall went to Le Fondre instead of Jones?

The only plus I can take from today is despite playing poorly, we still managed to get a draw and another clean sheet which is something we would never have managed under Ole. That's our third clean sheet in 4 games now and if you don't play well and can't win a game, the next best thing is to keep a clean sheet not to lose the game.

My man of the match was Noone by a mile. He was the only one running at players and going past players to try and open them up.

YES GLAD YOU THINK YOU ARE!

If you have doubts then it's REALLY bad

yes saw whole game online and it was that bad!

I was absolutely disgusted by the performance today, absolutely clueless no desire, fight or creativity. The appointment of slade showed no imagination and this is spreading onto the pitch. I cant help but think that this was entirely financially motivated decision by Tan so he can slash the wage bill ready to sell. Only one substitution made by the 70th minute, the game was crying out for fabio or at least someone with some desire and then he brings him on in defence. Most people in the stadium wanted to see him on in place of kimbo, who wasnt bad but isnt match fit or a winger. Daehli must be annoyed being snubbed entirely for someone who has played 30 mins in 3 months. For me the entire "club" from top to bottom is a shambles. It's as if slade takes 2 steps forward and 3 back. He's not a championship manager and seems in awe of his position and doesnt know how to harness the quality of individuals we have a make them a team. As long as that knob Scott Young, sacked by the prestigious Port Talbot town is there the team dynamics and morale are going to carry on being non existent.

Have to agree, a sack of shit today and it's becoming a regular occurrence.
Slade not the man to take us forward, dinosaur tactics.

Tom Lawrence is quality.

Tom Lawrence is quality.

We must have been at different games today.

The Tom Lawrence I saw playing for Rotherham was crap.

That was another terrible display from The City. Absolute dross. In my opinion if we keep performing like we did today we will get a hammering before too long. Rotherham were poor and they were the better team!!
Slade has been lucky getting the results he has had with the quality of performances the team has been dishing out to us. Is it time to bring in a few of the players who have had little or no chance to perform and shine. I think so.
Or is it that whoever plays under Slade and Young this is the type of performance we will always have?

Slade was exposed again today as the lower league journeyman he is. He's never managed skilful players before so sets up as if he was hoping to nick a point in a Division 1 relegation battle (which is where he was before his bizarre over-promotion). Not one of Daehli, Morrison, Guerra or Fabio getting a game against Rotherham? Final straw was watching Port Talbot Town's finest Scott Young offering Slade his expertise. Grim times.

We got no fans !!

well summarised Slades' hands are tied on who he can call upon, that is the only redeeming factor in sympathy of Slade in the bore-fests fans will have to get used to
