MY VIEW: ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING AND NOW THATS SIX DEFEATS IN LAST ELEVEN GAMES:


CARDIFF FIRST-HALF CREATED CHANCE AFTER CHANCE / BUT WASTED THEM TIME & TIME AGAIN AND WERE PUNISHED FOR IT /THEN 2ND HALF CARDIFF WERE SHOCKING


But then 2nd half Cardiff could of lost by 5

Please BBM don’t keep saying “We are improving and I am happy with a small squad”

Blackpool 9 Shots on Target and Cardiff 9 Shots on Target

Cardiff’s goal plus over the last few weeks has Disappeared through our awful Defending




CARDIFF NOT CLINICAL ENOUGH IN FRONT OF GOAL / AND PAY FOR IT BIG TIME

That’s 6 Defeats in our last 11 games and we keep losing and struggling to the bottom teams, Blackpool, Burton, Peterborough, Newport Absolutely Shocking



Cardiff 3rd in the league today came up against Blackpool 23rd in the league.

Cardiff’s Defending was shocking and it’s happening far to often

BBM I stand by has been found out big time and has NO Plan B and it’s worrying, We are in a league with mostly very very poor sides.


Cardiff have a lot stronger and better teams to play than Blackpool



Cardiff had 65% Possession meant nothing.









FIRST-HALF: Very exciting half from both Clubs, Blackpool started by far the better, but Cardiff then took total control.

Blackpool 1 Shot on Target / Cardiff 6 Shots on Target

First 10mins Blackpool missed a sitter, then had three more great chances.

What were Cardiff doing?
It was like they've never played together before??

Then Cardiff sprung to life and the Colwill brothers tore Blackpool apart twice , making the Blackpool goalie make two great saves.

Kapakio makes the Blackpool goalie make another good save.


35th min Blackpool hit the post.









SECOND-HALF: SHOCKING BY CARDIFF / SHOCKING
Blackpool make a substitution:
47min:GOAL! Blackpool 1-0 Cardiff City (Fletcher )
Josh Bowler slides Fletcher in and Dylan Lawlor jockeys him on to his left foot, but Fletcher drills it into the top corner at the near post. 1-0

Blackpool got Trott making a great save and Lawlor cresting the ball.

67mins Alex Robertson replaced by Callum Robinson

69mimGOAL! Blackpool 2-0 Cardiff City (Fletcher )
Cardiff’s defence was torn wide open.

72nd min Trott save.


76mins Omari Kellyman off, Isaak Davies on.

Joel Colwill off, David Turnbull on.


CARDIFF HAD TO SAVE ON THE LINE / BLACKPOOL SHOULD OF SCORED


GOAL! Blackpool 3-0 Cardiff City (Bloxham 82)
Tom Bloxham scores. He's been immense today. Clean through, with Cardiff playing a high line, and he rounds Trott before slotting into an empty net.
Disaster for City.

86mim Trott saved


91min Great Save by Trott


97min Salech goal



BLACKPOOL 3 CARDIFF CITY 1

Cardiff City: Trott; Kpakio, Chambers, Lawlor, Bagan; Robertson, J. Colwill, R. Colwill; Kellyman, Salech, Ashford.

Subs: Turner, Fish, Osho, Wintle, Turnbull, Davies, Robinson.


H-T 0-0

Absolutely shocking .
All teams have to do is go 5 in the middle and we are bolloxed.
I really thought BBM was an outstanding appointment.
I am now really really starting to worry. What shite will he spout later

I am very worried as he does not see we are struggling he says we are improving

Pathetic really once again from Tinkerman but as some say "we are 4th in the league" so nothing matters and BBM keeps saying we are improving but everything said which is what's going on factually is negative on here :roll: It's clear we are on a slippery slope so things need to change fast or the decline down the table will be mid table after another two defeats before we know it. It's four defeats in the last 7 games now.

Very disappointing but that was a strange game in lots of ways as we were the better team first half. Never saw that result coming. We didn't take our chances and everything went for them. Have the feeling some on here want BBM to fail. It's young side, we have to be patient, on another day we win that.

And 2nd half they could of hammered and don’t forget first 10 mins of first half

No one wants BBM to fail

But he can’t say we are improving/ That makes him look foolish

Terrible result.

Our naivety is starting to show with the players and BBM.

Ultimately, it's a results game and our form is going from poor to very poor.

The side that started (with a really strong bench too) should have brushed aside Blackpool. Instead, poor finishing, and that general need to walk it into the net instead of going direct every now and again has cost us.

The vultures will circle and its deserved today. Not good enough BBM...how we go from the Wrexham game to this is pi$$ poor.

We are so 1 dimensional, opposition managers are just picking us off 1 by 1.

It’s ok our next league game we will play like man city, totally dominate the game and look like a premiership bound team. It’s been a strange season so far, where we have played some amazing stuff, and then been absolutely awful like today. The officials didn’t help though and added to a terrible performance, as they seemed very one sided. The one complaint I have is the constant changing of the team selection, that’s becoming really unsettling. We are still up around the top, so on to the next game.

Yes definitely annis some shooting practice needed for a full week come Monday morning to maybe hit the back of the net a few times. He has no plan B just a one dimension system and we have been sussed end of.

Correct Terrible Result

Yet we played a very strong team

They do Deserve to be Slated today


I agree with your other comments

We try to walk the ball inwith 20 odd passes while Blackpool tear us apart from deep inside thier own half with 4 passes :banghead:
Plus why can’t we get to the by line and cross it in.

Re: MY VIEW: CARDIFF ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING AND NOW THATS :

Sat Nov 08, 2025 5:11 pm

What’s worrying is we’ve lost against three team in the bottom two or three, we cannot break them down and have no plan B. In fact we get worse with the subs.

The reason we can’t get to the by line or put in decent crosses…

Davies = Central Striker
Kellyman = Number 10 central player
Ashford = Striker

There is the problem.

Win our game in hand and we go top,surely he is doing something right.

That was an absolutely disgraceful and most bizarre second half performance I have witnessed for a very very long time, if ever, following the City. Where was the defence, in particular Chambers, Kpackio and Bagan? Poor young Lawlor was caught on his own a number of times trying to stop a two or three man breakaway. Although he made a few mistakes himself, he played well, and he and Trott, particularly the latter, kept the score down due to their heroics. All this, when we had 28 shots at goal and still lost 3-1. Chambers must never play Centre back again as he was a complete liability- he even missed a sitter with his head! Our best back four by far are NG, Lawlor, Fish, and Bagan, although the latter had a stinker today.
Please BBM, this second half defensive display must NOT happen again this season or support will soon wane! ALSO, PLEASE sort the throw ins out, as nobody seems to want the ball!
I’m going for a cold shower now!!

You'd be right so it's not all bad. Our form is a concern though.

On paper, we should have been way too strong for that Blackpool side, regardless that it was away from home.

Don’t tell me Kellyman is not capable of getting to the by line.
