" I JUST CAN NOT BELIEVE IT WE WON "

Some of the best attacking football I have seen from City this season in the first half,then the worrying yet again set in when Brentford made a double sub and they scored and guess what they scored again :cry:
But Yes Kenwyne Jones 92 min :ayatollah:

City are now 7th in the Championship

CARDIFF CITY 3 BRENTFORD 2

Marshall; Peltier, Connolly, Morrison, Fabio; Pilkington, Ralls, Gunnarsson, Noone; Jones, Mason

Subs: Moore, Manga, Malone, Whittingham, O'Keefe, Ameobi, Mason

Crowd 12,279

Away Support 300 approx

City went in to this game in 7th position and the visitors Brentford in 10th. We were undefeated in our last 3 outings, but the fans had not seen a home win for over 5 weeks, so it was time to put the record straight :thumbright:


City players ran out to prob the lowest ever League crowd at the stadium, but what was good was the crowd that was there sang from the start :ayatollah:

City did not disappoint attacked and with in 20 mins Watt scored a poachers goal 1-0 :ayatollah:

10mins later a great run by Watt and a one two with Kenwyne, 2-0 City Kenwyne Jones :ayatollah:

We continued to play some of the best atracking football this season :thumbright:

69min Marshall one on one saved :ayatollah:

71st min Marshall saved a free kick :ayatollah:

My man of the match Tony Watt :thumbright:

Not a fan of Slades, as you all know, but I am really pleased for him and the players tonight. If it had stayed 2-2 it would have demoralised the players so much, I think they would stress out every time they played at home.

I get the feeling though that the team has finally clicked or starting to under Slade now. :ayatollah:

First half they looked like promotion contenders.

They looked terrified in the second half. People booing after 2 1 didnt help whatsoever.

Mason is not good enough.

Ralls is class.

And if kennedy cant get on that bench then he is being sold.

For that, i dont care what happens to slade.

Kennedy not good enough for the first team I'm afraid, we have better players

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

I don't know why we're surprised really, just when the fans turn on him he always manages to do just enough to hang on to support.

Is it sustainable in the long term? I have my doubts.

Kennedy is easily good enough to start.

Looking past the fact he was our stand out player for half of last year, to defend the indefensible.

I couldnt care if we gave away a 5 goal lead so long as we won it 6 5 in the end

Can't disagree with any of that the first and second halfs were carbon copies of Saturday only this time we got out of jail. Why bring Mason on?? Offers nothing. Great entertainment though. Love wins like that :thumbup:

Just a question - do you actually go to games?

Everyone coming out tonight was saying Slade has got to go. Yet another drop in performance in the second half and total reliance on 442 is so easily being picked apart by other teams week in, week out and the only guy who doesn't see it is Mr Slade.
Crowd has started to turn & he is a lucky man tonight thanks to Kenwynne

We do, we can't keep surrending 2 goal leads as we nearly lost 2 points again, 30 second to go and thankfully we won this time.

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:41 pm

We were lucky tonight and that last minute kenwynne goal just papers over the cracks for me. This second half collapse is becoming a bit of theme now and Slade still has not figured out how to defend a two goal lead. We were defending so deep we were practically inviting Brentford to score. We were yet again like rabbits caught in the headlights. I think the only thing that saved us was that Brentford ran out of puff which slowed the game down. If tonight's game had ended 2-2 everyone would be screaming for Slades head. He is a very very lucky man tonight as kenwynne has well and truely saved his sorry arse. :sladeout:

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:45 pm

Slade just doesn't seem capable of closing out a game.

Our four best attacking players tonight were Noone, Watt, Jones and Pilkington and he decides to take three of them off :o

Teams don't give up in the Championship so you just have to keep pressing and looking a threat, you just cannot sit back and let them come at you.

Nobody in their right mind would believe that Mason is better than Ameobi at either chasing people down or causing the back four a problem (neither are great mind you!!) yet Slade puts Mason on for Watt :shock:

Two of his top players remaining on the pitch, Jones and Fabio, got him out of trouble tonight.

That's three home games in a row, he needs to start learning from his mistakes .......... quick !!

Hopefully we go on from this and at least get a draw at Brum :ayatollah:

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:51 pm

I'm no big Slade fan but the only thing that counts is the 3 points. Never expected Brentford to be a pushover, and I thought before the game started that we would either scrape past them by one goal, or more likely get a draw. I think exactly the same about the Birmingham game, a narrow win or a score draw but can't see us getting beaten by them.

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:52 pm

Now is not the time to change the manager.

We need another strong midfielder who can come on to,replace either Ralls or Gunnarssonn for the last 20 minutes. They were clearly knackered by doing the work of 3 men between them. I believe it is the way we play which wears them out and this is when other teams take advantage.

Re: MY VIEW " I JUST CANT BELIEVE IT "

Tue Dec 15, 2015 10:53 pm

He got away with it tonight.
To make a sub while defending a corner? To continue with a substitution of replacing a winger with a very weak full back just after conceding, at home, is crackers. The guy is tactically inept. We concede too many goals down our left, seriously frustrated by the inability to close down a game. Brentford no where near Sheffield Wednesday in ability yet we capitulated again. Thank god Big Al left Kenwynne on, Ameobi is a luxury we can do without.

Brentford were in the play offs last season so we all know they are a decent team.
