BLUEBIRDS

Problem is there is no replacement for Moore.

Pity we didn't get Cameron Jerome during the January window he would have been excellent cover for Moore.

That is the problem, or would be if he gets injured. He’s in the game for 90 minutes and has no chance for a breather.

Not sure why he let Glatzel go without having a replacement. Maybe he thought he had Jerome lined up.

It’s a tall task for Moore to stay fit for 90 minutes every time; as I said above we then play in 72 hours time. Plus he’s got the international week.

My concerns also, when Glatzel left, MM said he'd have no problems playing Watters or Harris, and yet neither has really featured ? Moore looked out on his feet at boro,and the schedule just gets mote manic! Plus he will feature on international duty, if he burns out,what then? Harris and someone else up front? As I don't think Watters can be impressing MM in training,otherwise why not in the squad,and not u 23's instead? Let's hope MM has a plan in mind,just in case.

Ps not having a pop at Watters, and I hope he is just "settling in" as it's a step up from where he has been playing.

Glatzel, Harris, watters, wilson, ojo or Murphy. It doesnt matter who it is as none are target men. So glatzel isn't really a loss there. Glatzel wasn't particularly skillful, creative, quick or strong on the ball. So isnt really a loss there either.

Its difficult to bring moore off when the game is tight as he is an easy outlet for the defence when we are under pressure and he is also very useful at defending corners or freekicks. If anything happens to Moore City will have to adapt their game and get the ball up to our front men in a way they can deal with it. To feet, through the channels or over the top. It wouldn't be any different if glatzel was still here.

I take it you dont like glatzel then! I never mentioned him being missed did I? Just pointed out MM had said he would have no worries playing watters, when now it seems he isnt sure? Lets hope his 2nd half performance gives him a lift today(watters,as he scored 2 for u 23's) but it doesnt seem he is ready to step up yet,time will tell.I dont agree re glatzel by the way,but thats opinions for you.

Whether I liked him or not doesn't change anything. He was an average player in the wrong team. You asked what will happen if Moore gets injured now that glatzel has gone, and I answered. Glatzel was not a target man and doesnt bring more to the table than what wilson or ojo could do playing as a forward. Harris and watters are similar players so you don't really need both on the bench. Maybe mick just prefers Harris.

I didnt "ask" anything I voiced my concern,and was aimed at what MM had said regards to playing watters! The only mention of glatzel was in reference to the statement mm had made at the time of leaving(glatzel) hope that clarifies it for you?.

Mate, there are 4 question marks in your initial statement I was just adding to the thread and responding to your 'concerns'. Not sure a public forum is the best place to post if you dont want people replying to what you say and question marks kind of invite a response.

Just to clarify, I answered you concerns on why watters and Harris havnt featured much as well what would happen if Moore got injured

Well thank you for your knowledgeable input.not one question mark relating to glatzel though.

Bright start from Cardiff. A number of crosses just evade their targets before Ng releases Bacubna down the wing, but his cross is over the bar.

first set piece nera their area and they leave 3 on half way line

City doing the attacker

Good start from the Bluebirds, who might have had an early goal

Incredible early press here from Cardiff. Roos miscues his clearance for another throw.

City looking good

Where's Lee Tomlin?

Some on here vehemently said he was going to be on the bench...

Park bench, was it?

Pack fouls Sibley on halfway and the game resets.

Lovely work from Cardiff.

Ojo releases Ng and he pulls it back before whipping in a cross with his left foot. Just beyond Moore, though, and Wisdom clears.

Where's Lee Tomlin?

Some on here vehemently said he was going to be on the bench...

Park bench, was it?

Outside greggs,banging on the window, shouting " do you know who I am, open the f@cking door!"

Massive chance!

Long throw

Vaulks' throw isn't dealt with and it falls to Moore at the back post, but he volleys over the bar from the six-yard box!

All City

Bluebirds on the up and Derby looking as dodgy as Rooney in his last season...

I'm only asking because some were more than convinced...

Clarke meets it at the front post but flicks it over the bar.

Then


Shinnie tries his luck from 25 yards. It's low and Phillips has to nudge around the corner. Corner Derby.

Really? Who? Cos MM isnt/wasnt.

I that's a VAR decision, it's a handball and penalty for the Bluebirds!

City all over Derby and it could have been a couple by now...


LATEST SCORE: Cardiff CARDIFF CITY 0 - O DERBY COUNTY

Coventry 1 up v boro!

We've started alright, but Derby look very dangerous when they go forward

Amazing ball from Ng in behind the defence and Ojo is through, Matt Clarke slides in to stop the shot and it looks to catch his arm. But Ojo appears to stop as he appeals for a penalty and ruins the chance.

It falls into Cardiff's hands again and Ng's cross to Moore is perfect, but the striker heads past the far post, agonisingly.

Pack with big mistake like last game nearly gave a goal away

We've started alright, but Derby look very dangerous when they go forward

We need to make our stert count,we need a goal
