Cardiff City 3 Wolves 1

Just got home, that was class today, 1 nil down and City came back and hammered in my opinion promotion contenders Wolves.
It could of been 5-1 to City today.
Whittingham was pushed forward, Smith and Noone were excellent and Maynard will be pure class over the coming weeks.
Whitts hatrick, superb. :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

As to those who called for Malky's head after 3 games, he is not Dave Jones, Malky is willing to learn by his mistakes. Malky is not stubborn and is still learning his trade. He has brought together a a quality squad and when we go forward it is breath taking to watch. Defence still needs sorting, but Malky will get there, give him time.

As to the crowd just over 22,000, not good in my opinion, remember there were about 1,400 Wolves there. Weve finally got a class squad, so in my opinion if we are heading to the Premier League, it should be 25,000 plus every week.
The Premier seats were empty today, if we were in the Premier League, everyone would be sold out.

Bring on Leeds. :ayatollah:

Lets get 25,000 plus for the Leeds game and wear your Blue shirts with pride. :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Agreed with everything you say, apart from crowd which given everything was not bad at all.

Gutted I can't be there for Leeds. Got to have paintballs launched at me instead :x :cry:

I ask for everyone to make as much noise as possible, I hate dirty Leeds :ayatollah:

We battered them.

Top line defending from wolves, they did look a good Premier team defending wise. Get that side of our game sorted and we're there.

Oh, just under 13k in me bin, Mr Peter Whittingham, I salute yous sir. I was very lucky on the result and VS Arham winning.

Refreshing to hear that we were breathtaking when going forward.

Well done Malky on turning it around so quickly

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 3:48 pm

Excellent performance, Noone so exciting, Maynard threatening, Smith quality and an outstanding Whitts hat trick. But........
& I wouldn't normally find a negative after that......why oh why did Cowie come on instead of Kim bo with 15 mins to go, the side playing well, the crowd up for it, what a perfect moment to introduce a new player the crowd have been waiting to see?

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 3:52 pm

wolves played in their own half when in possession, they didnt know what to do

I wanted Kim Bo on too.

But Malky got it spot on today.

they were creating down Taylors side. Cowie came on and we stifled even that meagre
bit of hope Wolves had.

Another day, we'd have got 2 on the break in the last 15 minutes.

Brilliant performance

Some of you dickheads calling for Malkys head and saying the defence was SHITE should
be ashamed of yourselves. Apart from the freak f**k up by Marshall. We were sublime
today. Exciting, direct, dangerous going forward, and tighter than a ducks arse at the back.

Thats what promotion sides are made of

agreed. had a brilliant game, was only caught once but marshall saved at the near post.

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:00 pm

Solid performance today, cant remember the last time the city had a winger like noone, runs at the box and invites a challenge which wins pens, smith wont excite fans but is very solid going forward and defending, hudson was immense, ebanks blake wanted everything played into him and hudson got in front of him without giving away free kicks everytime

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:04 pm

We play in red, get over it don't you know its a lucky colour, I will not wear blue... but to be honest I'm not ready to wear red either

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:04 pm

agreed, impressive performance, what a classy bench we have now. One little thing and in my view it is little, lets get behind the boys and stop the negativety regarding blue shirts There will be a time and place for that debate at the end of the season, in the meantime we are Cardiff City and I love my team whatever colour they wear. If they continue to play like that who cares if their in red? I dont :ayatollah:

Noooooooooooone. I told you excitement.

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:07 pm

Fantastic performance today. Very much impressed with Noone, Smith and Maynard. Did, however, think Helguson needed to come off at 65 minutes. He was knackered.

Odd how Wolves had no urgency about their play as well. :?

:ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:07 pm

Totally agree,thought Smith was man of the match even tho Whitts had a hat-trick,Noone was great and Maynard was A live wire.Another thing why wasnt that Wolves defender booked for the penalty foul?

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:07 pm

The team was superb today and Noone or as Dai Hunt kept calling him Afternoon :lol: was just awesome. Maynard is going to be pure quality. Whitts being pushed forward was class and a hat trick said it all. So for those of us that had knocked Malky we was right to knock him. But it was still worrying when we went 3 up Malky changed it back to the side and tactics of previous games. Gone was the pace and width and going forwards there was no options and the whole team looked unbalanced again. And i will admit i was worried Wolves was going to get back in it again. But what went on before was quality and TBH i loved watching that,and if we can do more of the same the crowds will come flocking back.
But i will state now i am still not 100% convinced by Malky but that is my opinion and i am entitled to it,we will wait and see :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Our. Bench was that good today we could have beaten them if we made seven changes ... Whitts Noone & super kev were class today

Probably because there was no real need to book him. It was a stick on penalty but to book him for a first offence so early in the game would have been harsh.

Not sure what game u were watching nukes?

We played 4-4-2 the whole game. When Cowie came on we just closed the game out. No need to pelt forward anymore, we still could have scored a few even after that

Your entitled as we all are mate.

I was gagging to see Kim Bo come on. But Malky was spot on today. They only looked any
good coming down the right flank. Cowie shored it up. Wolves looked clueless and in my
eyes the only team that looked like scoring once we sat back was us :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

TBF i thought Wolves was going to be a lot better than they were.But i was suprissed they didnt press more towards the end. Had they done that we may of been in a bit of trouble. I hope Noone can keep those performances up. And Maynard will be quality for us. Lets hope Bellers sorts his problems out because with him in the sie as well we will be a very hard team to beat. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Maynard and Mutch were Knackered good substitutions and with 15 minutes left another spot on tactic to shut wolves out, we could never shut a game out! Today we did :thumbup:

Re: " CLASS "

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:22 pm

I hoped for an exciting performance and for 70 minutes got that ! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
Malky decided to close the game up for last 20 minutes and even though I wanted Kim on , I will let him off this time :lol:

I replied to your thread earlier in the week saying that I expected a similar size crowd to the Huddersfield attendance but slightly higher as I expected Wolves to bring more but I thought hey were very quiet !
