" CARDIFF CITY ARE GOING NO WHERE UNDER SLADE OR THIS PRESENT REGIME "

Hull did not even need to go in to 2nd gear as City were virtually non existent.

I really felt for the diehards tonight, having made the long journey for the team not to turn up.

There was NO drive, desire or team spirit from Cardiff tonight, in fact we looked,nervous from the start.

City never had one shot on target

HULL CITY 2 CARDIFF CITY 0


Marshall; Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Malone; Noone, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Pilkington; Watt, Mason

Subs: Moore, Fabio, Whittingam, O'Keefe, Ameobi, Macheda, Revell

Crowd 15,549
Away Support - 113 City fans + 50 comps making the official figure 163 City fans ( But not all the comps have been taken ).


With Hull City laying 3rd in the Championship and City in 9th, this was really going to be test for Russell Slades team.
Approx 130 City fans had made the long cold journey to the North.


From the first minute Cardiff continually gave the ball away, putting ourselves under pressure, thankfully Hulls finishing was not up to scratch.

In the 40th min Peltier fouled to give Hull a penalty , which was easily put away 1-0 :cry

Half-time Hull 1 City 0

With in minutes Marshall was in action and as Hull continued to go forward they split our defence open 2-0 Hull

60th min Mason who had done nothing, was replaced by Ameobi.

80th min Watt who had his worse game so far was replaced by Macheda.

ANOTHER DIRE CITY PERFORMANCE & NOW FOR THE LONG JOURNEY HOME.


Up next Wolves away this Saturday

Agree same substitution s every week same old formation and tactics it's time for a change

Wez,Slade is well out of his depth

Annis, feel sorry for you and the others who will get back at God knows what time tonight for players that won't give 100% and a manager who has lost Ye plot. Safe journey home, we don't deserve players who have given up.

Cheers James, City never turned up tonight and that for me is disrecptpful to our fans who travelled

Maybe the players will do what the Charlton players did and reimburse the fans the cost of their tickets?

No, they'll be flying home tonight no doubt in comfort and luxury whilst the fans travel for hours in cars and coaches in terrible weather and most of whom will be in work early tomorrow whilst our players "rest" after their half arsed efforts this evening.

Safe trip home all.

Wez,Slade is well out of his depth

I will always give managers time but slade has had enough now we will never move forward with him ,we need an experienced motivator like Warnock someone who's been there and done it

Hopefully now the board will give Slade the boot that's the only positive from this loss, and the jacks got spanked so it's not all bad

I've been told tonight Tan is still standing firm for Slade.

safe trip back the fans got punished again

And we were punished Cheers

How did he become a businessman?

absolutely no service to front players! how can you have shots at goal if dont receive ball? and like for like forward sub when 2 down is absolutely crazy!!

Allan, Do you now believe me that Slade is clueless on tactics

I take it Slade has bummed Tan again.

Fairplay to you Annis, the commitment you show to turn up with the rest of the diehards, its unbelievable

Cheers Thomas, City are still like a drug to me, I wish I could kick the habit

Annis, sounds like a very bad night. He can't be here much longer.

Safe trip home to you all Annis.

Thanks Ned, They were non existent tonight, I can see Dalman getting stronger with Tan

Time to go me thinks, away form is so bad it's Unreal rather go for it but maybe a don't have the players. How' was the power house Mason?? Ridiculous

Joe Mason,was awful tonight, did nothing

I hope Slade is not the only figure at the club to blame for failure. Let's face it, this season is a failure
Not a chance this team goes on a winning streak. The blame lies with Tan, he is a virus that has no cure. He has to go

Thomas, Tsn should shoulder most of the blame

I don't think Tan, Dalmen and Choo even care or know what they are doing. Slade (who was given this plumb job on a plate) and his useless deluded Coaching team are 2Leagues out of their depth. It's a shame someone like Big Sam is in work because that's the kind of experience we need, not Bellamy like everyone is shouting about. Not yet anyway ... Tan and Slade just go now

The problem is, managers like Big Sam would not tolerate Tan, so Tan would never employ managers like him

Hopefully now the board will give Slade the boot that's the only positive from this loss, and the jacks got spanked so it's not all bad

I've been told tonight Tan is still standing firm for Slade.

Tan is a complete idiot if that's the case he must be sticking by him out of stubbornness

Annis, respect to every single supporter that travelled to a tough gig on an awful night!

Also respect to Russell Slade for taking the time to walk over to those same fans and applaud them

I don't think I've ever read anyone on here saying he isn't a nice/decent guy, but I hope for everyone's sake that this was a humble farewell prior to an announcement later today or tomorrow

By the sound of the commentary (and early reports on here) it sounds like City were beaten quite easily and with little much in the way of a serious response, so time for change and someone who can re-galvanise and (maybe) add to what we mostly agree is a decent squad in this Division; preferably NOT from within!

Safe journey home everyone who travelled

Cheers Chris

Yes Slade is a decent bloke and a good guy, but he really is out of his depth

Tonight City were never ever in it and Hull never had to step up a gear

I am still wondering how some fans on this forum have'nt been able to see that Slade is not up to managing at this level. We still have a few who believe he can take us forward, and one or two who are still convinced we can make the play offs. I think the majority of fans knew at the start of the season that we were destined for mid table mediocrity, and the others are either wearing the thickest blue blinkered glasses they could find, or have very limited knowledge of football. Even saw predictions of a draw tonight, and one or two even predicting a win for us. Have they actually been watching the same Cardiff City that I have been watching all season. This match was almost a home win banker, and quite a few on this forum (not me) got the score spot on. We were never going to be in the promotion battle, and we have'nt got any cup games to look forward to either. Our season has fizzled out, and I can see some very poor home attendances ahead of us.

Steve, there's not many Slade fans left

We have some quality players but even they've gone backwards

The next home crowd I dread it's going to get worse

Hopefully now the board will give Slade the boot that's the only positive from this loss, and the jacks got spanked so it's not all bad

I've been told tonight Tan is still standing firm for Slade.

Tan is a complete idiot if that's the case he must be sticking by him out of stubbornness

Tan stood firm against the Red he will do anything he will do anything for a good business decision Slade is a goner just needs to say his mum told him to.

David, Our club would not even think of something like that, they are home now,we are still travelling back and discussing how bad it's really got watching City nowadays

Annis do you believe players know if they lose he's gone and maybe they are sacrificing results to force a change?

I disagree. We are going somewhere with Slade... Backwards.

The guy is killing every single element of football at our club.

The longer he stays the more hard work the next manager has to do.

He may be a nice guy but he's clueless and is in fact damaging players and their careers.

SLADE CAME OVER ON HIS OWN AND APPLAUDED US FOR AGES

Probably knows it's his swan song!

Lose at Wolves and he will be gone, new manager will be appointed at the end of the month thus missing the window and saving loads money.

New manager will be told he must sell in the summer to raise funds for new players, exit Marshall, Manga and more.

Looks like new manager will be supported that way but saved thousands on spending and the circle begins again

Maybe Dalman will walk first, that would be interesting.

This smacks seriously of Tan running the club into the ground deliberately

Stubbornness correct

Annis do you believe players know if they lose he's gone and maybe they are sacrificing results to force a change?

Mike, What I am now hearing yes I do.

Surely tan doesn't still have an influence over that much though? He's showed no interest in almost two years! When was the last time he was actually in the uk! Appreciate he doesn't have to be here but I'm pretty sure as for the team side, ie team selection etc.. Tan would not be involved! I doubt it very much that he even knew the score of the game until some time after!

Tan contacts Ken Choo at least 5 times a week regarding City's finances.
Plus Tan is non stop talking to Dalman about the football side.

Regarding the football side, what are they talking about there is much going on in that department
