MY VIEW: SAME OLD STORY AS BIG MICKS'S FIRST CCFC HOME GAME

Well MM substitutions at Barnsley and today have proved influencial and has certainly made a difference, plus he makes changes early enough to make a difference compared to Harris with only a few minutes left

When is he gonna start picking a side to win a game ????

Another point gained in the relegation battle.

Against Barnsley we looked better when Bacuna was subbed. Today we looked better when Bacuna was subbed. He's not a right back or even an emergency right back and he's not a decent midfielder. Is he just in the team to make up numbers?

Mick McCarthy:


"Two or three times we made little mistakes."

"We’ve certainly got to cut them out, because we can’t keep coming back from behind."

Obviously so obvious his task is to avoid relegation- why else would he start with such a negative team?

It’s going to be a grind watching this for rest of season.

And that means more of the Bacuna and Vaulks; and Flint

INCREDIBLE: “ LOOK AT THIS ON CARDIFF CITY / WE WOULD BE TOP OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP ON ALL OUR 2ND HALFS

On the surface this seemed 'more of the same' but I honestly believe there was a big difference in the performance of this team to the one we saw under Harris and the one that started the game against Barnsley

However, what we do lack is a midfield that can provide the right ball at the right time without giving it bad to the opposition to counter-attack

The first (Millwall) goal was a comedy of errors and a speculative cross was turned into the City goal off Flint's backside; a trait of giving weird goals that seems to follow them of late

The equaliser (City) was a goal of class and show what we are capable of, if the players are switched on to it. Great build-up, great pass and great finish by Keiffer Moore

I felt the introduction of Wilson was timely and whilst I felt a little for Bacuna and Ojo, it was probably right to get Murphy on too

From that point, I felt the game was City's to win and were it not for some poor decisions and finishing, we should have gone on to win the game

Mick McCarthy only been here a week but I can see signs he is steadying the ship and moving forward. Two draws may not seem a lot but they were gained against two tough teams to beat and are two draws more than we gained under Harris in seven games

Onward and forward, I say; better times ahead

You seem to have forgot we could and should have been 3-0 down at some point. We massively got away with it today, having to come from behind again.
I for one quite like the way bacuna is playing and happy that mick the prick has put him in mid field.

We Scraped a 1-1 draw today. “Almost” 3 points and almost is what we seem to be satisfied with now.

Equally, though mate, Ralls, Bennet and Moore all should have scored so we could just as easily have won 4-3 as lost 3-0.

Agree that Zohore having a shocker did us a favour though (although one of those was a great save by Smithies)

Totally agree mate. But was trying to even it up as Sven seemed to be looking through blue tinted glasses and only saw our clear cut misses.

The reality is we were shit against a shit team. To many have bought in to mick the prick arm round a shoulder bull shit to distract from his dinosaur football mind.

Well, there are different ways of looking at it and being a positive Bluebird supporter, I say Moore could have had a hat-trick, Bennett and others should have scored too...

Bacuna did okay and I suggested that elsewhere (unlucky to be subbed) but to call the manager "Mick the Pr**k" is more than churlish and says a lot about you as a person and a part-time supporter, i.e. when the going is good only

Is the going good now?
By your logic I shouldn’t have been supporting. Makes me laugh one one fan thinks he better than an other what a silly statement.

But then again you may think things are good because we almost won and we almost played well.

No problem having people disagree with my views. But this is the first manager in my life that I’ve not had any faith in. But to say I’m a part time supporter is pathetic because I have a different view point to yours.

I was calling him mick the prick before he was officially appointed manager it was that underwhelming.

These doubters only watching the highlights?

We played football today. If we had took out chances we’d have comfortably won.

It wasn’t like the defence was getting caught out.

Our passing rate was phenomenal, for us at least anyway.

I can see us outplaying Bristol. Mick has a full week to carry out 2 or 3 training sessions and work on his formation.

I’ve genuinely not been this happy with City since Warnocks first full season with us.

For the first time in I don’t know how many games we looked comfortable with the ball.

Sorry, I didn't realise you knew me personally enough to say I think I'm better than anyone else?

Oh, hang on, you don't; that's just a 'clinging' comment made by some that can't argue back...!

No "silly" statement, fella; you made a personal comment about the manager, which I always find pathetic no matter who from and I let you know that. Welcome to Forumworld...

My point that we had a fair few chances ourselves seems to have been ignored in the clammer to condemn the manager you so churlishly called names after he has already steadied the boat in many ways after the poorest manager we've had in many a year, Paul Trollope excepted

Mick McCarthy's coaching can hardly be blamed for the Millwall goal, can it?

Try getting behind them in the early days instead of 'knocking' so easily; or maybe you are desperate for him to fail because he wasn't (like most of us) your preferred choice?

I don’t know you personally. Do you know me personally?
So why does your logic only work in your favour? You the one that got personal first because my opinion different to yours. Would you rather I think the same as you or at least agree with you and pat you on the back everytime whether I genuinely agree or not. I can if that makes you happy.

I’m fully behind Cardiff I call it as I see it. And welcomed the subs. But you chose to ignore that as it’s not fitting you agenda.

I can see what he's trying to do, as per a new manager.
1. Don't lose
2. Build confidence
3. Stop conceding shit goals
4. Add some attacking play
5. Build on the above

1 and 2 in progress. 3 better start soon. 4 seems to be happening in second half.

Unfortunately MM can't allow for the flukey own goal and the shocking misses by Moore and Bennett today.

But you've got to be blind to not agree that today was an improvement.

Yes ok but had Zahore put away 2 relatively simple chances we’d have lost

we had 2 equally good chances... but its a turn around in progress with safety in mind... 6 straight defeats could easily have turned into a landslide towards lge1 which we have all seen happen to other clubs.. hopefully these 2 games have been a stop to the slide and a start in moving in the other direction only time will tell.. but was never going to be a sea change over night...

Amen. At least you speak sense.

There seems to be plenty who see the negatives and not the positives.

We're not going down.
We have a decent squad.
We're underperforming.
We will only improve.

Against Barnsley we looked better when Bacuna was subbed. Today we looked better when Bacuna was subbed. He's not a right back or even an emergency right back and he's not a decent midfielder. Is he just in the team to make up numbers?

Hes a bog standard championship utility player
Same as Patterson was

I would disagree but just my opinion. We signed him from Reading i think and he didn't get a look in at first. He went into the team when we got relegated. There's lots of Bog Standard championship players that i feel can pass more accurately and have a bigger impact on the game.

Reading sold him for a reason just like we sold Zahore for a reason. We were behind against Barnsley when he was subbed and behind against Millwall when he was subbed but after he went off we saved the game on both occasions.

He's a pro footballer and i hope he makes a nice living but elsewhere maybe because he's not as good as Vaulks or Ralls and is on par with Pack imo and that's not really a good CV

Could have taken off anyone and would have had same result it's not the player going off that changed things it was the players coming on that did today was Wilson who changed game! Always a scapegoat at city....

Vassell and Watters are injured and Harris is just as bad as Glatzel

Moore can't do it all alone . We need a striker this weekend
