MY VIEW "NOT IMPRESSED TONIGHT/YET A WIN 3PTS/THATS "

My View/Opinion

NOT IMPRESSED BY CARDIFF AT ALL/YET A WIN IS 3PTS/THATS WHAT MATTERS

City struggled tonight to get the win our fans have been waiting for, for a long time, against a very very poor Wigan team,but for me this was the win that will now keep us up I will repeatedly say that Russell Slade needs to go in May, No later please

Wigan had 2 goals disallowed, looked the better team at times, I was not impressed at all by City, but we have the win and 3 points at this stage of this season is what matters


Wigan 0 Cardiff City 1 Video of goal viewtopic.php?f=2&t=155287

Crowd 10,016 including about 300 City fans

Cardiff City Team : Marshall, Ralls, Morrison, Manga, Connolly, Noone, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Kennedy, Jones, Doyle

Subs : Moore, John, O'Keefe, Adeyemi, Harris, McAleny, Revell

About 300 Cardiff made this long trip and many sang songs for Malky to do the and do the fist pump Malky responded with an applause City Fans cheered their team on continually all night

Vincent Tan had asked all Directors not to go in the Wigan Directors box tonight,so Steve Borley persuaded CEO Ken Choo to travel up and go in the City fans end. Choo wore a Blue/White scarf.

So tonight we were facing our ex manager Malky Mackay who had achieved so much for City,but he had left our club under a cloud of controversy and some still believed he should of never been sacked including myself and there are many who were happy he had gone.

Cardiff went in to this game with only 1 win from their last 13 League game but they are unbeaten in their last 4 League games.
Wigan had not won at home since August with their last 13 home results seeing 6 draws and 7 losses. They had lost 6 out of their last 7 at the DW Stadium. In the 13 games they had scored 8 & conceded 18. They look already doomed to relegation,so City were surely going to get their first win in 2015 tonight.

I was a bit shocked to see no Peltier? But glad to see Declan John included again

The first 15 mins was a nothing game,then Gunnarson in the 20th went straight at the Wigan defence and it looked like he went through 4 players and bang 1 nil Cardiff City, what a great goal

Whittingham continued to cut out Wigans attacks by ex City player Kimbo,who continually looked a threat.

Wigan had lots of possession, but they looked poor at the back,the pitch was an awful state.

Wigan had a goal ruled offside in the 38th minute,but were looking more and more threatening.

Aron Gunnarsson's 20th minute goal was the difference in a scrappy game by half -time.

Half-time Wigan 0 City 1

Once again both teams cancelled each other out,Noone continued to go missing,whilst Gunnarson got booked, but was battling for everything

Trollope continually gave Slade bits of advice all through the game.

Kennedy like in his previous game did well tonight

65th minute Kenwyne Jones came off with Alex Revell on.

It was now City defending against a poor Wigan side with David Marshall making a good low save to his right

For the second time Wigan had a goal disallowed for off side/controversial.

79th minute Kadeem Harris came on for Doyle.

Marshall saving City near the end.

City were holding out and the 3pts was all that mattered.

Yes we got the 3pts,just about and I mean just about


Full time Wigan 0 Cardiff City 1

My man of the match Gunnarson,for the goal and he battling performance



Up next Wolves home on Saturday

Vital Vital 3 points! Now we are in the top half.

Who cares. We won, happy days. Let's hope for the same conclusion Saturday.

If you read my report,you will see I have said similar, but Slade still needs to go.

yes andonly papering over the cracks! but who cares

wigan were extremely poor they are going down and didnt deserve a win manager took both strikers off hoping for draw

Agree

Not concerned about how the win came bit it was needed. I used to think most games with Malky that I wasn't impressed but happy to get the 3 points.

Sometimes you have to grind out a result and when your on a run like us you'll take it any way possible. Let's hope we can push on now

Vital Vital 3 points! Now we are in the top half.

No we're not

yes andonly papering over the cracks! but who cares

Allan we are papering over the cracks,but we will stay up now

Slade must go though

Vital Vital 3 points! Now we are in the top half.

No we're not

Yes we are we have leaped up to 13th.

Pressure is off now, 10 points and a good goal difference should allow the player to relax against team who have pressure (like we have for the last 6 season)

Slade needs to go, but in his defence his buys have been good. Sporting director sounds a good tittle.

Yes I agree you have to grind out results,but just read my report

Now a real test v Wolves, lets all get behind the team on Sat

I think he,ll go in May so that it'll give us a massive season ticket boost

Allan we are papering over the cracks,but we will stay up now

Slade must go though

yes yes and yes annis

Why persist with Noone when McAleny is on the bench?
How many chances did Doyle have tonight? ... it's no good buying a fecking goal scorer if chances are not created for him.

SLADE OUT

must admit he just doesnt seem to have an idea of how to keep poor teams at bay, we just let them have possesion instead of attacking and pressurisng them . happened again tonight although will say we never looked like loosing!

Noone was awful once again tonight.

SLADE OUT

Noone was awful once again tonight.

he is the weak link and costing us goal making opportunities by poor distributions and crosses

Tonight was about nothing more than 3 points which we achieved. We played well against Blackburn yet drew. This should give the players a lift 4 points and 2 clean sheets on the road is not easy. I look forward to wolves on a decent pitch and hopefully with some confidence.

It shows something when the away fans show more respect for the home manager and get him to acknowledge the fans and not a single chant for the teams manager.

Was a fun evening. Safe trip home to those bluebirds traveling all the way home tonight.

Mike, I hope,common sense will prevail

Allan, Totally agree with you

I've said we're not yet safe for a while, but this will keep us up for sure. But Slade still can not be our manager next season.

I think I'll be there Saturday, so see you in the Sand Martin Annis

I do agree, 3pts was what mattered most

Ned, I honestly believe we are now safe, as long as we get the odd points like we have been. Still awful over all and Slade must go

SEE YOU ON SAT/SAND MARTIN FROM 12pm
