Tanner's Stats?

Tue Mar 10, 2026 9:45 pm

Definitely don't tell the whole story. He gets a high percentage of assists,but he wastes so much ball & gives it away so many times. And don't start me off on being shot shy of a team. The commentator said we are pretty on the eye but frustrating because we don't put the ball in the box enough. Rant over we got a point,but it should have been three.

If we go up then we 100% have to sign two wingers

I think we need more than that.
We will need a new keeper as Trott will be leaving.
A few changes in defence as the guys we have are starting to let us down regularly.
Also, a central striker as back up to Salech.

I've said it all season, Tanner, Willock etc are not good enough and are so frustrating to watch over the 90 minutes. Some on here think they are amazing.

We lack pace, imagine you had a Philogene type player as one or both of your wingers..

Another pick on Tanner thread. Did his job AGAIN. 10 assists in 19 games. 2nd in the assist chart behind a guy who's played 11 more games.

Yes he had another assist but for the full 90 minutes he was frustrating. Heavy touches, poor passes and under or over hit crosses. Corners he never beats the first man. The amount of ball our wingers get they should be doing better. They rarely try to beat a man just wait for the full back to over lap.

The corners are near post by design. I'm shocked so many haven't figured that out yet. The overlap is by design it's what we do. Tanner is out most direct player and as a result loses the ball more so what his results are exceptional.

The problem is he doesn't always have space to run into in this league. Teams put both on their left side in from of him and sometimes a CB comes across too.

That won't happen as much in the Championship so he'd be more likely to make things happen.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Probably trying a bit too hard, but he’s starting to develop a habit of missing very good chances at key moments. Plymouth away was one, the chance to make it 1–0, and tonight there was that perfect cross hung up at the back post that he volleyed over.

For a pro, that’s bread and butter, and it would have been a huge goal to make it 2–0. He’s still our biggest threat on the right, and hopefully against Exeter he’ll start finding the net.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

We play two out there full back and winger hugging the touchline on with flanks, we then over lap but dont crosss it by the byline in most caes wtf is that all about, instead we pass it back then sideways to the other side of the pitch and it repeats. It absolutely baffles me and at times we can be on there by-line and it goes back to trott and repeats again then wonder why we are not getting shots off in the box what's the point in playing this system if we can't score off ball sin the box. It's the only system BBM knows sadly and teams have sussed it out with blocks of 5 on the edge of the box :banghead:

Tanner = 10 A from 19 G - So far this season :bluebird:

Pathetic post. He's one of a few go-to players when the team have a dip. Willock was worse last night, but nowhere near as singled out.

Lawler was worse, no mention or thread about him.

Trump invades Iran - Tanners fault.

Which pro rata is by far the best in the league. Some of his distribution last night in the second half was excellent. Yes he often loses the ball, but I'd rather watch a player trying to BEAT his man and lose it on occasion than static, square passing all night.

Almost scored another screamer against Lincoln, despite that being a very poor game for him.

Always trying to make things happen. We look far worse without him, compared to without Rubin.

I think what gets most people angry with Tanner is he doesn't lose the ball alot when hes dribbling with it, he loses it when he's doing the most simple 5 yard pass, his basic passing is usually awful but it is also hard to argue a case against him when he is still putting in them numbers for assists

You can quote all the stats you like. It's the passes that make things happen that count and our wingers are not good enough. Through balls and crosses.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Wed Mar 11, 2026 9:29 am

Defence is our problem.. we were cruising pushing for second goal and as per usual out defence gave them hope. And if it wasn't for their bad finishing we would have lost... Barnsley hardly created a chance other than what Cardiff gifted them

He does make things happen we scored because of him last night, you can't just blame all the wingers when your talking about Tanner because people have presented stats showing how well he's playing.

It literally how wingers are measured.

It’s why the really good ones are so expensive. We are Cardiff not a top premier league team.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Wed Mar 11, 2026 10:37 am

Tanner seems to be the latest scape goat.

It doesn't help that a lot of the balls to him are over hit.

Without his assists we would be in trouble.

He’s direct and tries to make something happen, tries to take risks, unlike other players who don’t get pulled up.

I’d much rather him take risks and try to get us goals and assists, over being safe and passing sideways.

Exactly.

To put it more simply - do you want the player in your team with the most assists per minutes played in the entire league, or not...?

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Wed Mar 11, 2026 11:17 am

Tanner is number one winger we have right now. Stats prove it and whilst he can give the ball away he does have s go at fall back and takes them on.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Wed Mar 11, 2026 11:40 am

Maybe BBM can have a word with Tanner and tell him to stop trying to take players on, and just to pass sideways so he doesn't give the ball away.

We will lose all the assists he provides, but at least he won't be losing the ball :banghead:

I will, as its an impartial measure to when grown men have an agenda at someone who's actually standing above others; repeatedly.

No agenda, I watched the game and I don't care what the stats say he didn't play well. Willock was worse though. I say it how I see it.

Re: Tanner's Stats?

Wed Mar 11, 2026 2:35 pm

People like to blame Tanner for all their woes. He's been blamed for giving the ball away on Saturday & causing both the oppositions goals, no mention of the fact that Lincoln had to go the entire length of the pitch to score them both. How about we blame the actual people who's job it is to defend rather than the guy trying to make things happen at the other end?

The defence were all over the place every time Barnsley got within 20 yards of our area last night & I lay the blame entirely at their feet for both results.

Never mind we needed backup for Salech, how about defenders that can actually defend rather than act like headless chickens.
