Yes I booed!! And they effin deserved it! What did it do? It made them fight hard to get that goal! I have passion Carl, I sit two blocks ahead of you and I scream all thru the game. We all could see that Morrison plays too deep and as he sort of plays as the captain then the others follow him. WE HAVE BEEN OUTPLAYED BY GOOD FOOTBALL FROM SHEF WED AND BRENTFORD. boo!!!! We are lucky to.be where we are. We need Manga back NOW! WE NEED Adeyemi bossing the midfield. Slade is shit. Slade out!! BOOO BOOOO!!! :digging2:

agree ,us fans could see it coming ,we camecoit 2 nd half like a team who thought we done enough,Connolly gave the ball away to much and I would swap him for manga ,mason is Shit we should of brought Fabio in to midfield to make a 5 man midfield ,they changed it and we were over run slade keeps to 442 to much and fails to adapt to other team changes

The first half that was the best we have played all season. The second we was awful. But to loose a two goal lead against Burnley ok that's football to do it again against Wednesday was criminal and to do it again last night means Slade ain't learning.
We won last night not because of Slade but despite him. I know it's a matter of opinion but he keeps taking off our best players and last night it was Watt. Because Brentford was chasing the game it was important we kept the pace up front and Watt gave us that which Mason can't. Yes I agree Carl that Mason would now be hungry but it was the wrong time to bring him on.
The anti Slade chants wasn't just because we conceded one goal it was built up over the time he has been here with his inability to read the game,make the right substitutions at the right time, his inability to play good football (first half last night excluded) all built up. Cardiff fans ain't fickle when it comes to supporting our managers but That was the straw the broke the camels back. So for me :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout:

The boos and from canton was mainly a very frustrated chant of you don't know what your doing. This was very obviously aimed at slade not the players.

Slade will never win the fans over, no matter what he does. We need a manager to come in for next season and take this club by the reigns similar to how malky did and get the fans onside again.



Which reign are you thinking of? That of Queen Elizabeth 2 , or an earlier monarch?

Agree from where I was sat the booing was aimed at Slade with fans chanting "you don't know what you're doing" and some chanting "we want Slade Out"
As someone above said to surrender a 2 goal lead for the 3rd time at home in such a short space of time, after every opposition manager has changed his tactics to counter Slades 442 shows exactly why Slade is out of his depth he doesn't learn from his mistakes and won't change his tactics. So for me :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout: :sladeout:
What also concerns me is we are leaking so many goals and yet our best defender (Manga) is sat on the bench :evil:

Wez, I thought the last 2 home games have been very entertaining :ayatollah: Your sounding very negative?

So Wez, are you now agreeing with what many including myself have said all along, Slade is not the right manager,not the one the fans wants and is not tactically up to it?

A good squad handed to him fair enough, but the team are 7th and 2 points off 5th. He shipped a load of poor attitude players out the door as they were acting like a cancer to the team no matter how good they were in a previous life.

The difference in recent weeks has been Watt, a Slade signing. Malone, Peltier and Okeefe are still in the main squad for a good reason.

I read today how great Fabio was for the assist last night. Fair enough, but no mention how along with Noone last night for the majority of the game, they lost the ball on far too many occasions. Something Whittingham is normally booed and Jeered for! Fabio was great on the attack, but defensively he was awful, hence why i feel Malone is a better defender of the two and glad when he came on.

I cannot see how all the blame and boos were aimed at Slade? The first sub was like for like and on a player that was no where near the corner being taken. Watt was the furthest man up the field on every one of their corners so no where near affecting the defence of that corner.

The players shut down last night as soon as the corner went in, and it was the players themselves and not the Jeering Supporters that lifted their heads. We the supporters are our own worst enemy these days, no backing for the team when we start going downhill.

I feel some if not a lot of our supporters need to take their Tan hating glasses off sometimes because they are on the verge of looking ridiculous when Cardiff City bashing on this forum.

Too many supporters have got used to the Money Days at the city.

Entertaining and bloody frustrating ,we should be in 4 th place now last night was final straw for me ,slade just isn't up to it but there's nothing we can do he's here to stay 442 is ok if you got a hard working wingers and strikers ,we got watt who will run all day long but mason us lazy we need more pace

Re: ' YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP '

Why doesn't Slade take the captaincy offMarshall and give it to Gunnarson and allow him to change things to adapt to the oppositions set up. I would bring Manga back in but for me,he would replace Morrison whose goals have dried up. I would have left Watt on,but if he was knackered,fair enough but I would have put Whitts in midfield and left Jones up front on his own.Also,was Pilkington knackered aswell and is that why he went off? I don't particularly want Slade out,because the last 3 games, I've thoroughly enjoyed but he needs to be more flexible in his tactics especially when we are over run in midfield.

Thoroughly enjoyed the game last night. Although my age started at 40 then went to 25 to 40 to 60 to 25 it was an emotional roller coaster last night. I did say to lad next to me when watt went off that it's keeping him for Friday, but should of been okeefe, whitts or even Manga on . Players looked terrified at 2-1 only Gunnarsson seems to be trying to talk shout and organise

Why not a new manager THIS season?? :?

IMHO we are just that piece of the jigsaw short of a sustained attack on the top 6 (dare I say it, top 2) as there aren't any 'outstanding' teams in this division currently! ;)

Re: ' YOU COULDN'T MAKE IT UP '

I sit in the ninian stand right on the half way line a few rows from the back, and what I saw was Slade standing with his arms folded while Trollope was urging City players to push out from defence. I think most players would want to move up the pitch after clearing the ball, but is Slade telling them to be careful of pushing out too quickly in case we get turned over the top! I ain't got a clue what his tactics are but it sure is annoying that we can't comfortably see a game out at home when we are 2-0 up at half time. I've spoken to him in the street and is a nice guy but I don't see us going anywhere under him.

Surely you can understand that booing during the game could be perceived by the players as booing them !!!

Not really what the players need when they are trying to play a game.

Had those boos come at the end of the game (which I still would not have joined in with) then I could understand it but not during the game.

I cant blame slade for that, I could see with my own eyes how the players reacted after the first goal by Brentford, they were shitting themselves with the reaction of the crowd. We need a leader on the pitch, someone to keep a calm head and sort the teams heads out, that isn't slades doing.
with that as well the crowd were awful at times tonight! Dropped the team like a stone when things started going south. With no money, we're gonna need to do something to convince Watt to sign for us. Who'd want tto come here with such a fickle support?

Carl, I sit about three rows in front of you, and was chuffed to see you celebrating that win as it should be at the end. While those around you were chanting slade out and booing their team, you I feel like myself, saw it as a rollercoaster game with three points to us In the end.

I will always celebrate a victory and a performance in the same manner I hope :ayatollah:

Say hello at Forest game :thumbup:

The chant of dont know what your doing and Slade out will tell the players its Slade and not them we are booing.
Pilks reaction said it all for me. Taking him and Watt off was an absolute joke and asked for trouble
