MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v NORWICH CITY " MATCH THREAD

Playing without proper center halfs mean were always going to need to score more than 1 to win , its so frustrating its been allowed to get to this position

Any club would struggle losing all 4 centre halfs. Freak situation. I am not sure what peopke expect the club to do? A loan signing is not going to come to City just for a couple of games. Osho, Chambersand Lawlor will be back next month. We have to play our kids and roll with it. Well done to Anaydike, could any of us have played for City at 15!? Brilliant.

Yet another soft goal conceded from a corner. Why have we still not signed a centre back?

The defensive line up is bizarre. Kpakio is out of position at left back and is struggling with the lazy Willock in front of him. Surely, it makes more sense fo Kpakio to play in his normal, right back position as he's struggling?

The youngster has made a few errors, but what 15 year old wouldn't make errors? It's a disgrace Tan hasn't backed our manager to bring in another centre back yet.

Bagan has been quality first half.

Robertson and Turnbull have done well on the ball and Joel has been as all action as ever. Our centre midfield is fine.

Willock has been absolutely awful, Davies hasn't offered anything and Robinson can't control or pass the ball.

Apart from Bagan and our centre midfield, the rest of the team has struggled.

If today doesn't show we need several new signings, I don't know what will.

If we don't sign a COMMANDING centre back to head away corners, we will simply concede more soft goals from set pieces.

Felt Anyadike grew into that first half. They’re clearly targeting him, not in a malicious way but they eased off once he dragged a few out of position

Norwich made two Subs h/t

One making his debut and don’t forget Norwich have not only had a terrible start to the season they have injuries

Rubin on for Anyadike, who picked up a knock.

Robertson gone to CB.

Agree entirely - without any aerially commanding defenders we are cannon fodder in the box to crosses and big strikers - we have no strength or power defending against crosses at all!!

Get Robinson off, he's there but had zero influence on the game.

Our wing play is diabolical, I have said it for years , it’s pathetic, too slow and the crossing is crap, let’s be totally honest about it .

Moylan, Salech, Ashford on

Turnbull, Davies, Robinson off

2-0 and game over

We never looked like scoring 1 so there's no way we're scoring 2.

Has been tonight.

Tanner did well at Derby but Willock and Davies have been awful tonight.

2 shots on target says it all no chance now
This passive playing around the area is root of the problem kapacio and willock been passengers all game

We are too soft , look pretty sometimes but go nowhere , not impressed

2-0 Norwich have been abysmal but unfortunately that doesnt matter when you come up against our defence, Kpakio has been beyond abysmal tonight

We can have no complaints about the result, loads of possession but no real clear cut chances

A shockingly shite performance from Cardiff, the worst quality and smallest squad I can remember for a long time. Tan out!

Very poor tonight

He wants a small squad,
stand and fall.

Is anyone overly bothered? Personally, it was nice having a run in this comp last season because the league was a lot easier. I’m happy we’re out and can focus more attention on the championship. Particularly with our injury issues.

Rubbish, what are you expecting with no back four? Robertson is currently centre half! Norwich are a decent side too. Take it on the chin, move on.

Why is this acceptable, I would be doing my nut

I thought we were absolute crap
Its all about Saturday though

I want to win every game regardless of what it is, we put out a team to win and have been dog shit

Never like losing but in these freak circumstances cant believe the moaning. Hardly a shock losing ti Norwich. We literally had to play a child in the first half too!

That’s a great finish tbf

Great finish from Salech

Rubin different class again!

3 out of 10 for that performance. Crap

That's the point, expect nothing!
