BOLTON KEEPER MAN OF THE MATCH


THIS IS COSTLY FOR CARDIFF, WE NEED A STRIKER NOW


CARDIFF FACED A TEAM STRUGGLING MORE THAN THEM AND ABSOLUTELY BATTERED THEM APART FROM SCORING.

This already was a very important game for both sides near the bottom of the Championship.



Bolton had lost their last 4 consecutive games and not won in their last 5 Games and also

Cardiff totally dominated the first 25mins, 8 shots to 0

32mins How lucky were we,Kyliane Dong booked for simulation!
The Bolton man is sent through and tries to round Trott - but there is no contact and he goes down. If he'd stayed up he could have just put it into an open net! Biazarre.


Bolton fans were fuming with ref with his decisions


42mins Joel Colwill now booked. Josh Sheehan taken out in midfield.

Bolton were allowed to get in to the game far to much

These are our easy games

Great coach, amazing at developing players, but let's be honest a pretty poor real time game tactician

Its why he is here and not somewhere paying him more

Agreed

I just don’t think like we looked scoring though, and then it’s inevitable that we were going to lose at the end. We just don’t take advantage of attacking opportunities.

I keep saying I’m more than worried

And for months now we and BBM knew we needed a Striker

Fuming after that, can't fault the players, they gave their all but they are just not good enough, I fully blame the board and our shambolic transfer window! Get the f*ck out of our club

You dont think we looked like scoring??

Their keeper has made 4 last ditch/point blank saves. All world class. Come on, just because we lost you cant deny we had by far the better chances.

Wins will come but need to be taking the chances.

Frustrating but the positive is we are playing well. Once we get that first win, I think we'll move forward.

At the end of the day we have to score,
Plenty of chances but not finishing it off,i feel gutted,it is a long drive home.

We’ve dominated beyond

But it’s the results that matter and v Charlton at home it has to start there as the season gets tougher and bigger games ahead Ned

There manager threw on two more up top out wide and I knew they would only need one chance as we are pathetic at putting games to bed. We played the same way as we always do but once again. We need 10m wide goals and 5m high to score it seems . The delivery of balls in the box and finishing is abysmal 90 percent of the time.

Im starting to wonder in our training schedule do we just pass from the right back to center half, center half, left back, winger, Robertson, center half, trott and repeat. Maybe that's our training just stats to pass the ball rather than finishing the f*cking thing. Woeful Infront of goal it's unreal.

Same old story, dominating games. No cutting edge in final 3rd. I’m sorry but Tanner needs to be dropped he was terrible today . Looked lazy and gave ball away several times today

When I was a, kid my father used to take me over the County. They had a Scottish manager.. Played some great football. Couldn't score though. This season reminds me of this. Worrying times No wins, no squad, no hope

I wouldn’t go as far as that as we made the keeper make 3 very good saves.
But some times we do need to be better with the amount of possession around their box.

Awful result, absolutely did not deserve that but you could see it coming.

We dominated without really playing that well. Should have scored 2 or 3 and yes, their keeper played well, but his saves weren't anything special, just poor finishing.

We are definitely in a rut. Unsure whether BBM has the tactical know how to get us out of it...and those same players will just get more and more tired.

Wish we'd move the ball that little bit quicker I really do. It's still pleasing on the eye but too patient.

Ashford absolutely has to start next game. Tanner awful today, needs a rest (not picking on him, he just was).

just showed our limitation in this game, poor game for Tanner keeps giving the ball away and couldn't beat a player.
Fingers crossed we play Lawlor against Charlton otherwise we will lose again due to there quality players.

Just a lack of concentration from Bagan unaware of the Bolton player behind him that scored the goal.
overall we were slightly the better team but Bolton got into the game and caught us out on the attack late on to win it.

Wins will come but need to be taking the chances.

Frustrating but the positive is we are playing well. Once we get that first win, I think we'll move forward.

Yes ned but unfortunately its leading clubs to do what Bolton did! Play two upfront with ten mins left and i said at time spells trouble? Teams are playing the percentage game and winning while we lose out ...we didn't do much wrong for goal but a wrong ball played by ng led to it why didn't he leave it to trott? Do that goal doesn't happen and that sums up whats wrong at both ends pitch? Wrong decision making either don't score or we concede because I'd the decision made.
And the game today sums up why we have most shots but not the goals!

Today we had 10 shots on target out of 19 total shots, the problem obviously isn't the wingers or whoever getting the ball into the right area but that final shot letting us down. Their keeper made some good saves but a lot of thoe on target shot were just straight at him or too soft to get past him.

Sums up todays finishing. There manager made some up top changes then rode out our touchline wide play stuff over and over which we always do then they had one chance at the end . Game over.

Also the decision making about the shots! Tanner had great chance to just plot into far corner 1st time but chose to stop Willock same on other side plus couple of other shots needed to be 1st time but stop to play another ball that is a frequent occurrence need to take more responsibility themselves? It's not all about possession its about creating chances and executing them not duck out as they do.

Absolute sickening that was, sadly all becoming a bit of a common theme could we actually go down playing some of the best football ive seen at cardiff , we need to become more ruthless

Just wanted to get away from bolton ASAP yet due to useless policing resulting in an inevitable scrap outside we were stuck there for nearly 50 mins ffs

Sometimes I wonder why I bother

So the Jacks doing us a favour beating Burnley

Gutting I was their last season when they scored in last min

This time we dominated

You said it, it’s becoming a common theme

I knew we were going to lose in the dying minutes,we did it last season gave the ball away on the half way line they just run through and score in either the last few minutes or stoppage time.
