I never thought we would see football like the Osman/Hibbit or Durban days and We are :(

But they had no money .....

This squad of players should be capable of passing the ball to each other never mind winning games at this level !

Spare thought for us travelling fans just got home ! Must say that was worse than watching paint dry? He seems to want us not to to do anything but sit inside our half of the pitch! Forget stats as brighton just were aloud to pass at will but had no idea going forward did they have 2 shots on target? Why oh why change a promising team from sat to such a negative one at home.? The one thing that struck ne was that whitts and gunners need to be dropped as offer nothing to team, give youngsters a try at least can say done something to change things even if we lose game! :o

We're going to be relegated at this rate, and we both know we can't afford to be relegated financially.


Ned, If we continue at this rate 1 win from 11 League games, your right we would be relegated.

Even when Slade won his few games, the football was awful then, the writing has been on the wall from day one.

' EVEN THE 45 MINUTE SHOW IS OVER & WE WERE LUCKY TO GET 45 SECONDS OF FOOTBALL '

Peltier was even apologising to us in the Ninian Stand at the final whistle :cry:

There is at least this,were playing in Blue and remember were in a period of transition,so Russell tells us.

Our lowest home crowd of the season,which was actually about 13,000 :shock: :shock:

City fans were even mocking the team :shock:

Cardiff City 0 Brighton 0

Crowd 19,206

Cardiff City : Marshall, Peltier, Malone, Ecuele Manga, Morrison, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, O’Keefe, McAleny, Noone, Jones.
subs: Moore, Fabio, Connolly, Adeyemi, Harris, Doyle, Revell.

Both clubs had,had a struggling season so far,Cardiff with only 1 win in their last 10 League outings,Brighton, had lost their last 4 games on the trot including to the worse club in the Championship Blackpool, many felt this was a must win game for Cardiff.

I'm going to sum tonights game up in a few lines.

Clueless Cardiff made Woeful Brighton look worthy of an away point in a less than half empty Cardiff Stadium :shock:

Why not start Doyle?

It took us 83 minutes to have a proper shot on goal :shock:

Half-time and full-time loudest boos for years were heard around the ground :shock: :shock:

Gunnarson and Whttingham were awful tonight,but so were plenty of others guilty of going missing.

My honest opinion, were not good enough for the top half of the 3rd division, never mind the Championship.

Millwall won tonight and City are now becoming involved in a relegation battle.



Man of the match Manga :thumbright:

Russell Slade has to now be honest and take the blame,for this awful football and 1 win from our last 11 League games :shock: :shock: :shock:

Next up,Blackburn home next Tuesday night :thumbright:

We can still be competitive while we are in transition though , we are being completely outplayed everygame(Brighton were terrible also tonight) we are playing like an away side sitting to deep , there is nothing on the pitch where I can see what Slade is trying to do there is no leadership no direction , Slade has to go now



Darren, I thought Dave Jons was bad with NO plan B,but I have to say Slade is on another planet compared to Jones :shock:

Since the day Slade arrived he's been hell-bent on turning a team out of the Premier League into a League 1 or 2 outfit.

Slade is a lower league journeyman who's never won a single promotion in his league career, and he's supported by a number 1 who was booted out of the League of Wales. These 2 together don't have the slightest clue of what's required for management at this level.

The club has spectacularly failed in making these appointments and needs to take urgent drastic action to remedy this mess.

Even with slades clueless tactics these three should be ashamed of themselves

Annis I was there to witness (suffer) one of the worst home performances in my memory.How the hell can he set us up 451 and still get overrun in midfield? There was nothing being created and eventually when chances did come there were no clinical finishes. Worst thing for me is there is no leader on the pitch and no manager or coach motivating and directing the players on the touch line. If this carries on we WILL be watching League 1 football next season in an empty Stadium. :bluescarf:

I doubt Warnock would come here,with or without Tan because he's already retired once and the way things are at the City, would we have enough to tempt him here.

That basically sums up our clubs situation, & it's all thanks to management at every level for this.

Tan & Slade are going to take us kicking & screaming into Div 1,,,or maybe to just an apathetic whimper!

Annis its the lack of energy urgency going foward that i dont understand ? Its taking about 2 or 3 mins to get near opposition penalty area even on breakaway! :o not bothered by possession stats as the 64% they had and didn't look like scoring been same in lots games its our ability to sustain pressure on opposition thats my worry!. We prove we can score doesn't matter how but stats are something like conceded 18 but scored 12 in last 10 games only minus 4 at present?? Better than most around/below us! We wont get relegated but be near bottom unless slade goes next week. :thumbup:

Because he watches what he wants to see! This is where a good no2 comes into play? Pointing out failings in players/system and opposition weakness or strengths! As been pointed out today why does he change a relatively good team performance by changing players or formation every game? Basic principle of football find best team best formation and stick to it! Really simple philosophy! :thumbup:
