You have to admit

Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:26 pm

to win your opening game, with all the pressure on Cardiff, against a newly promoted side like Huddersfield,who gave it there all for 90 mins and a stadium virtually soulless,if we had lost or even drawn, pressure would of soon mounted, so they were probably the best 3pts we could get this side of Xmas.

Well done Malky and our team. :ayatollah:

Bluebirds and Blue army. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Well said Annis.

We didn't play decent football today, but the 3pts from our opening game were massive!

We need a left back big time or it will cost us Taylor not good enough. :ayatollah:

Lets not dress it up. We were crap and none of last seasons failings have been addressed.

Agreed. Not playing at your best and winning is the mark of champions :ayatollah:

yeah great win wasn't pretty but great none the less

Huddersfield aren't going to struggle this year, they are agood team and on a roll, that was a big hurdle and a great start if only in the result, a massive three points. :ayatollah:

Annis should have worn a football shirt years ago, we may have had some luck then, it's all his fault. :lol:

Well said Annis! Gutsy performance and at the end of the day got the big W. Good way to the start of the season :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Not a pretty game but we we're patient and got the (very ugly) win. :old:

Forget everything else - Bring on Brighton & the carrot crunchers!

Re: You have to admit

I just put a thread up saying you have to win ugly if youre to be promoted, we all want to win by 5 but its never going to happen, our fans are a joke

Could have fooled me against Newcastle's premier league defence last week.

Took us 30 minutes to tear them a new one!
I put it down to nerves - the performances are not far away.... Kim Bo is coming ;-)

I'm giving the team today as a freebie as many of them only played international duty two days ago. If we're like that from now on though I'll be on at them as much as you were last season.

huddersfield were a stubborn side, parked the bus and asked us to break them down, which we couldnt....

U wouldn't say it was soulless good atmosphere at times, in the canton anyway, good 3 points though and kept going to the end, onwards and upwards from this I think

Re: You have to admit

Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:45 pm

that we were poor tonight for long periods, however the negativity on this board is Shocking

1st proper game and 1st time our 1st choice side has played together,

So good win in the end (might have changed helguson with about 15 left though) but what do I know 1-0 :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I really thought you knew enough about football to see that it was more Huddersfield who defended well and played 11 men behind the ball that forced us to play like last season, rather than us playing bad! A lot of last season's issues such as a lack of pace have been addressed, absolutely no doubt about it!

Re: You have to admit

Fri Aug 17, 2012 9:47 pm

Listen the first game is all about 3pts and that's it!!!! So well done malky and the boys for not giving up til the final whistle!!!! Remember Norwich hoe many times they done it!!!!!

Keep taking em they had more chances than us. Better chances than us. It wasnt backs against the wall for them.

Marshall was MOM ffs.

Kev is past it. Whitts is wasted amd dont get me started on Cowie.

i agree with this, helguson clearly likes the ball at feet to hold it and play the pass, im suprised by how many headers he actually won also, but for 60 mins or so, it felt just like kenny miller playing... it was the same shit just different personnel..

conway should have started instead of cowie also in my opinion..

Re: You have to admit

Fri Aug 17, 2012 10:16 pm

First 5-7 games are freebies for me in regards to how we play, I've seen better teams than us player worse than that today and win. Its working progress, signings still to be made and the new guys still need to bed in. God some fans love a moan about absolutely anything, nothing is good enough. Completely spoiled.

Re: You have to admit

Fri Aug 17, 2012 10:19 pm

todays performance will be ok for the next two away games, but wolves at home is going to be a real tough game.... hoofball wont work against them and they have bags of pace out wide...

hopefully we can get kimbo in by then as he likes to play football and isnt afraid to beat a man....
