MATCH THREAD:" CARDIFF CITY v NOTTINGHAM FOREST " MATCH THRE

Absolutely no quality in the final third. It's so, so poor. Failed to test the keeper all night. What a grim rest of the season watching this rubbish we have. Have to say I am turning against Harris now. There is no real change in our play. Tomlin has simply had a purple patch in recent weeks. Can see us going on a long run of defeats with this toothless team.

Cracks are showing big time.... the lads are no longer playing for each other, just saw a spat on Sky between Patto and Bacuna

It’s a sheer lack of quality, we knew we didn’t have any and it’s biting us on the arse big time. Paterson is no 9, Murphy is shocking, hoilett is not much better. Paterson is a clown, I can’t stand him. He thinks he something he isn’t, having a go at his own is a disgrace. (Fighting was way over the top)

But, it’s still a better watch than under Warnock, and I thought glatzel played well as did ward, both had chances they should have not taken and played a better option.

That didnt look good . Be interesting to see what happened there and what caused it.

We lack quality in too many areas of the team.....this is a poor championship which makes it even more frustrating.
Abit of investment and the play offs were there for the taking.
3 players in in January ....2 of whom have played a total of 81 minutes .
Season is going flat rapidly

Man, its just so f*cking lame this team. The most unskilled players try hard but arnt good enough.

Players like Murphy who have shown speed and skill falling over to the wind.

One players to really do anything was Smithes and Vaulks. With Vaulks he actually looked like a footballer. Was getting in thenright places, tried a few forward passes which didnt quite come off but the vision was there. Also how is he winning more headers then our forwards?

You know what I have to say I thought we played well tonight. We weren’t brilliant but against a good side and without our best attacking player we gave it a good go. I watched on the telly for once rather than down the ground so maybe got a different view on it but thought there were lots of positives. We clearly were lacking in the final third but we knew we would be as tomlin was out. Paterson worked hard, Glatzel showed some good moments and for me Vaulks was amazing. Problem is without tomlin we are relying even more On long throws and free kicks and if the second ball doesn’t bounce for you on the day then it doesn’t, (and Morrison won every header in the opposition box it seemed) lot better ball control and patience from the lads than under sir Neil and a lot of chances that could have become goal scoring opportunities with a bit more quality (or tomlin). Having said all that positive stuff.... Murphy our in the summer, can’t take him anymore! Also the young lad showed some good stuff hopefully more to come. This year might be over if we don’t beat Brentford but some positives lads

Meant Murphy out in the summer!

Nathan Blake also said it was a good performance, it certainly did not seem like that at the game, plenty of effort but the lack of quality in the final third is embarrasing.
Lets hope its Ralls for Pack and albert for josh on Saturday.
Did not see the Bacuna incident, if this rose its head live on tv , there certainly appears to be trouble behind the scenes.

Nothing to dissect from that performance it was pure garbage from the first whistle.

My god we are in for one next season.

Players fighting after the game (Yes not exactly a ‘fight’) but a clear indication of a fractured dressing room.

What a mess and we are stuck with a manager who has changed nothing.

We have had less passes in final third since Harris took over than we did under Neil Warnock this season. That’s not progress its utter garbage.

Forest are average but City are mediocre at best.

No quality delivery into the box. Can’t recall last time we scored a header from a cross.

Not enough passing forward to feet.

Paterson is so poor. I hope he goes back to Scotland in the summer.

Pack is a donkey. Hoilett end product is shocking. Murphy is just not good enough.

Only plus was Sanderson.

Hope Smith gets a game as our defence down the left is just bad.

I didn’t expect anything tonight. The ref was hopeless again but we shouldn’t blame them constant for our many shortcomings.

I expected to be completely outplayed by a supposedly superior Forrest side but we weren't.

Glatzel much improved for having Pato as the target man. Vaulks had a great game. The ref didn't. And neither did Murphy or Hoillet whose balls in from either set pieces or open play were abysmal. Sanderson showed promise and athletism up and down the right and got forward more than any right back we've had since Mark Delaney! Ward so much better off the bench as he ever is when he starts.

Could have had a penalty and Forrest used every time wasting trick in the book without any sanction from referee because we were a threat.

We do lack quality but Forrest really didn't have much more.
