" Cardiff need a poacher "

By Paul Smith

Anthony Pilkington battled gamely here, hitting the bar and going close on a number of occasions. But he is no striker, and the Bluebirds badly need someone to spend more time in the box. For all their qualities, he and Lawrence don't get in behind the defence often enough.

Cardiff are a Jordan Rhodes or an Andre Gray away from being very competitive in this division.

Certainly needs to be in contention for it. Hopefully he will get good game time against spurs on Monday and be enough to feature on Saturday

Not sure about that I would like Saadi and Lawrence and give a proper winger a chance like Harris.

Pilkington won MOM on our coach hands down, definitely keep him up top would have dropped him when he was on the wind

Rumour has it Sadi is struggling big time for fitness and someway off

I don't think Harris will get a game. I can see Lawrence moving over to the wing and pilks and Immers starting. Although I would like to see Harris given a chance there's something he's not doing right or he would have made a breakthrough by now surely

Joe Mason would be the ideal option

I have no idea why Harris isn't even on the bench he is a 442 winger but most likely Lawrence will put on the wing next Sat.

Pilks had MOM again and he's not good enough you couldn't make this up :laughing5:

We scored 8 goals in five games not lost once but let's sack everyone :laughing6:

No idea why I come on here to read the constant manager and player bashing if we was bottom four I'd get it :bluescarf:

Who is bashing Slade or Pilkington? The idea of bringing someone in like Harris or Immers or saiddi is because ameobi was red carded

Well said, I'm getting pissed off with the unnecessary negativity on this forum. I know Charlton are bottom, but we hit the woodwork twice and were very unlucky not to win and a point away from home against anyone at this level is a good result.

We would be in Charlton's position right now if we had a lesser manager trying to sort out our current mess! All the clowns are out in force shouting for Slade to be sacked because we failed to win a game where we battered the opposition, hit the woodwork twice and had a perfectly good goal disallowed. Unbelievable!

He seems to be doing the job at Wolves, maybe we could put in a cheeky bid in the transfer window

We've had a few recently, Campbell and Le Fondre spring to mind but the service isn't there from the midfield! Le Fondre gets a bag full of goals in every other team he plays for!
