My View/Opinion

" HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

City played good,attacking football in the first half and controlled the game and deservedly led 2-0 and continued in to the second half the same way :thumbright: then suddenly relaxed and for 20 mins let Sheff Wed dominate and back in to the game :shock:
Dropping another 2pts at home after leading 2-0 :shock:

City are now 7th.

CARDIFF CITY 2 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 2

STATS POSSESION CARDIFF CITY 42% SHEFF WED 58%

CARDIFF CITY TEAM :

Marshall, Peltier, Malone, Morrison, Connolly, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Pilkington, Noone, Watt, Jones.

Subs : Moore, Manga, Fabio, Whittingham, O'Keefe, Ameobi, Macheda

Crowd 14,526

Away Support 1,500 approx


Cardiff City and Sheff Wed both went in to this game on the same number of points, with City 6th and Wed 7th. With City having a good home record and Wed having not such a good away record, could City prove the doubters wrong today.

When City went forward today,they looked exciting and threatening :ayatollah:


19th minute Tony Watt brought down,Craig Noone scored the penalty 1-0 City :ayatollah:
34th minute excellent run by Pilkinghton and finished it off with a goal 2 -0 :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

A great first half, it could of been 3 nil, Kenwyne header offside.

Half-time City 2 Wed 0 :thumbright:

We came out and for long periods dominated the game.

By the 60th min we started to relax and bang a long distance shot from Sheff Wed goal 2-1 :shock:

Slade brought Ameobi on for Kenwyne.

Wednesday started to take more control of the game.

75th min after piling on the pressure Wed scored 2-2 :shock:

The last 10 mins we were lucky to get a point, it was all Wed.

CITY 2 WED 2

My man of the match Lee Peltier :thumbright:


Up next Brentford home this Tuesday :thumbright:

Slades got no plan b Sheff wed changed formation and didn't deal with it. :sladeout:

not the first time it's happened, won't be the last whilst slades in charge either.
I'm sure I'm not alone in not being suprised a 2 goal lead was thrown away.

Ryan, that was evident today, Yet we had a strong bench .

Annis, no matter how well we played - I can't comment on that as I wasn't there - it's absolutely disgraceful to drop two points from that position.

Tuesday is a must-win game now or we could fall well off the pace.

Slades problem is he's taken an age to find a decent plan A but has no plan B when teams change it.

His in game management is crap.

As far as I was concerned this match was the banker of the day for a score draw. Would have been nice to get a win, but I think most people would have forecast this as a draw.

I really thought we would win this, even more at half-time, 2pts badly lost.

I did. Had it on my goals goals coupon and a draw in my other bet.

However that's before the game. To be 2 goals up with 30 mins to go you got to shut the game down especially in light of what happened last home game. We didn't learn any lessons.

Ned, 2 home games running and we today looked well in control, not good as Wed were not that good.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 5:27 pm

As soon as we went 2 up I thought hello this now has 2-2 or even 2-3 written all over it.
Should never lose points from 2-0 at home,never mind 2 in a row,poor management,doesn't know how to see a game out.
Very annoyed.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Well done to Darboy in the match thread. He had us down as being 2-0 up, only to throw it away and end up with a 2-2 draw. Are we really so predictable.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 5:35 pm

Just play the game!! When you're 2 up, do everything you can to stop a reply and run the clock down. It's not rocket science. Words fail me.

This is why not many of us are convinced that Slade is the right manager, 1 year later and we are lucky to even play 3 of his 15 players he has brought in.

Over a year and has had to rely on the players he actually did not want, Fabio,Gunnarson, Kenwyne and Ralls.

Not the point Steve, We were in total control 2 nil up,playing good football at home and once again gave away 2 points.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 5:57 pm

Slade just has to go.

More and more fans driven away.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:03 pm

Anyone know why Kenwyne was taken off? I thought he was playing quite well but obviously Slade thought differently.

Because he was shagged, can't last beyond 60 mins....

Best we can hope for is a premier club want him as an impact last throw of the dice sub and take him off us.

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:08 pm

The problem was that we didn't score a third goal in the 15 minutes after half time. Wednesday were always going to have a right go at us after that, and scored a couple of good goals. Still better than the performances we were turning out 6 weeks ago. Let's leave Slade alone and try to pick the team up for Tuesday

More nonsense slade bashing i see :lol:


So frustrating today but a entertaining match and its not something weve been able to say much recently

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:19 pm

We are incapable of producing a decent level of performance for the full 90+ minutes.

Very good in parts today but can't keep it up all game.

Just like against Burnley we looked in control for most of the game. Just like against Burnley we finished the game on the back foot looking like a completely different team as the opposition gain the belief that they have a chance as we are incapable of closing out the game or finishing them off.

8 goals conceded in the last 4 games and yet I bet that our best centre half and full back will start on the bench on Tuesday.

That's why I want :sladeout:

Our Footballers were left on the bench..

A team changes from 442 and he is left speechless, don't tell me Russ you never saw that coming.

It was getting tasty in the middle, time to bring on Dikgachoi, but no,

We're losing possession, time to bring on Whitts, but no

Re: " HOW THE HELL DID WE THROW THIS AWAY? "

Sat Dec 12, 2015 6:21 pm

Same as every lead we take. Slade is bloody clueless, teams change things against us and he does not know how to tactically combat that change.
You ask in another post do we deserve poor crowds ; well they will stay away because of results like these.
Slide is clueless and before we have " well we are near the top" bollocks with this squad we should be TOP this league is the weakest for a long time ... :sladeout:

Very entertaining for once Paulh I will admit :thumbright: , but we threw 2pts away once again did we not?

Plus where was the crowd if Tan/Slade are doing such a great job?
