MY VIEW: CARDIFF WERE THE IN FORM TEAM / HUDDERSFIELD THE WO

MY VIEW / OPINION:

CARDIFF WERE THE IN FORM TEAM / HUDDERSFIELD THE WORST / POOR MATCH OVER ALL / BOTH TEAMS SEEMED HAPPY WITH A DRAW.


POSITIVES: Clean sheet, another unbeaten game, youngsters brought in, point away from home & team had 5 different players.

Will Vaulks thumping shot, great shot and great save by the Huddersfield keeper.


Big Mick's 1,000 game being a manager & just signed a 2 year contract with Cardiff City


City's Youngsters Tom Sang & Joel Bagan started tinight,




City over all were awful against a dire Huddersfield team.

City now 7th.

City need badly this 8 day break



11 games now unbeaten.
7 wins / 4 draws / 0 defeats




Big Micks Trojans battled once again.


We need this 8 day break



TEN FIRST TEAM PLAYERS WERE OUT INJURED FOR HUDDERSFIELD INCLUDING DANNY WARD.



First-Half: Over all a poor first-half by City, need of a big improvement.

Second-Half: City looked very tired.
The football was dire tonight, the ball was non stop in the air.

WHAT A LET OFF
WIDE!

Phillips went the right way, but Sanogo's pen went wide of the post.
Let off. Big let off.

Poor game, a point a piece.

Points dropped first time i thought mick got it wrong with rals bacuna scored 2 against derby should imo kept his place and jonny williams an attacking midfielder does' nt get a look in but pack instead

Not a great performance.

I'd call it a point gained as we didn't play well and they missed a penalty.

We defended well and it's another clean sheet as well as eleven games unbeaten.

Flint my MOTM, he defended very well.

We were never going to play well in every match.

Move on to the next one, and the players have eight days to rest now.

Very dull game, poor performance, we were very lucky to escape with a point.

Awful game tonight. We were terrible but still on our unbeaten run. Playoffs might be to far out of reach this year but next year under mick and tc we can be up there.

MY MAN OF THE MATCH ADEN FLINT / SOLID / LEADERSHIP

I'll take the draw after watching it. We looked exhausted and never in it. Not the pressing that we've bee used to. 3 inexperienced full backs too. Thought they did well though.

But... Ralls non existent, maybe it is pack that allows us to play?!

Murphy and Moore poor for the first time in a while.

Did Ojo even touch the ball when he came on?!

Awful game and nothing seemed to go right for us apart from them missing some chances.A point is ok.Phillips MOTM.

Hindsight should kept same team except for injuries, and change it if nessasary on 60mins if required think got it wrong tonight but a point is valuable at end day even if didn't deserve it.

A bit harsh. We were not terrible. Other than the penalty what did they do? They played our system well and stifled our front three. We made changes and Ng already looks a big miss. We've picked up a point and move on. I thought Murphy sadly was back to his bad old ways but a bright spot was the performance of Sang. He did well on his debut. 11 unbeaten is remarkable.

Is this the game we will look at and say this is when we did not get in the playoffs. So off the pace in every aspect of the game. Passing, running off the ball, none existent.

Have to agree with you Monty boy - and that’s a rarity

Bacuna MOM by a mile last game and scored 2 and he’s dropped!

Why Williams wasn’t brought on is a bit of a mystery.

Poor performance.lucky to get a point.will have to be a big improvement against Watford..and Barnsley have 2 games in hand on us and on the same points..but would have taken this position in the league 6 weeks ago if it had been offered...

Not really in reality this run we are on as only put us in with a chance of playoffs ... there is going to be ups and downs same for other teams around us? Its s case of which team is the more consistent to end season that team will get into top 6.

Can excuse one woeful away performance but 2 in a row? Especially after a 4-0 win again.

Don’t get why we were so negative and let a team with no clean sheets in 14 have a night off.

Lucky to get a point.

Our problems again lie in central midfield. Ralls is weak and can’t pass. Vaulks doesn’t pass much better. Those 2 should not be partnered again. Tonight maybe would have suited 3 in midfield and 2 up top.

That was a dismal performance tonight after Tuesday’s very good performance. In my opinion, McCarthy made a huge mistake in making so many changes, although one was enforced. It is obvious from tonight’s display, how well Pack has been playing recently, and we missed his passing and closing down. We were just kicking the ball anywhere for most of the time, as our distribution was pathetic. Flint had a good game as did Phillips again,and Moore had no chance upfront with ball he was getting. We were extremely lucky to get away with a point, although the penalty was a bit harsh, as the lad tripped over his own feet. Also Flint was fouled in their box at the end , but as usual it was ignored. A very disappointing evening to celebrate Mick’s 1000th game, but a lot of it was of his own making.
We now have week to get over this performance, and let’s hope some of our injured players will return.

Points dropped. Huddersfield really?

I said that on another thread. First MM mistake but roll on Watford.

Cant win them all or play well in every game. But that was a terrible game of football. Lucky to come away with a point there.

No way bacuna should have been dropped from midweek and changes should have been made at halftime. Pretty solid in defence but offered nothing going forward.

Sang had a good game to make his debut. But Hopefully NG and bagan are back for the next game.

Take a point after the way we played looked tired. Bit miffed with the selection and lack of changes thought Baccuna would have played or at least come on. Missed Pack. Most obvious but has to be said you can’t play Vaulks and Ralls together. Ralls was poor and unfortunately Murphy was back to his old self.

Problem is when we subsistuted Ojo for Murphy and Pack for Ralls we were just as bad. Put it down to too many games in a short space of time. Thought we could of brought on someone for Moore too it was one game too many for him. Considering how many players Huddersfield had out injured I thought they were better than expected or maybe we just made them look better than they are.

They did thrash swans other day!

Vaulks doesn’t have a problem passing.

He also is very good at passing the ball into the net as get almost did tonight.

Huddersfield were up for tonight. Last time against a good team they beat Swansea 4-1.

Awful game tonight. We were terrible but still on our unbeaten run. Playoffs might be to far out of reach this year but next year under mick and tc we can be up there.

It’s not just about what they did but what did we do? We were very poor tonight but thankfully because of mick and tc even when we play badly we are so organised that we rarely concede. I thought they were the better team from the off and we were lucky to get out of the game with a point. Anyway onwards and upwards under a good manager

As mick says if cant win it you don't lose it lads have a week's break now to recover for Watford we are still in the mix, keep the faith fellow BLUEBIRDS, also well played tom sang great debut

Points dropped first time i thought mick got it wrong with rals bacuna scored 2 against derby should imo kept his place and jonny williams an attacking midfielder does' nt get a look in but pack instead

pack coming on was tactical...it was make sure you take the point time.

Type of bloke who, had Williams come on and lost the ball would say why was Williams brought on.
