Not when you consider the opposition.


I thought Everton would have been there for the taking today tbh. Great time to play them with them trying to adapt to Martinez' tactics. I wouldn't be surprised to see them finish outside the top 10 this season.


I agree up to a point, but our aim is 17th so a point against an established prem team with 2 England defenders and a holding midfield player rated at 24 million is ok for me.


Yup, agreed, just wish we were a bit more adventurous at times.

I'm sure we will be mate, it's a tough start but we will be playing lesser teams.

I think on reflection it was a decent performance.

Certainly better than the jacks, who are currently bottom of the league, could hope to muster.

Why must Roath come on here and impersonate a Cardiff fan?
Four points from two clubs who finished in the top seven last season is a very good return. Especially when they both play nice, passing neat possession football.

I think for the jacks, who are currently bottom of the league, it must be difficult to not want to be Cardiff fans at the moment.

Must have been watching a different game or something. Thought we played really well and more than happy to take a point. 4 points from 9 what more could you want

Well then lets claim all backpasses too, if the keeper wasnt there then it would go in.

The fact is, if we have to start claiming direct corners as shots on goal then we are lacking in attacking threat.


Of course we are lacking an attacking threat, which is Why we are looking for a winger.

I'm just saying, regardless of it being a shot or not, it counts as something on target, and That's all I'm on about. You'd have to be a fool to think we are fine right now.

I'm a fool, we have held our own against two very good teams and am comfortable with our early premier league progress.

This is what I was worried about with a few of our "fans".

Everton are a top club, with a heritage of quality football, we are little upstarts.. 0-0 against a club who knew how to unravel the Swansea myth with ease.

They will be in the Uefa cup places rather than the relegation scrap.

Happy boy and we are learning every game.
