MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF CITY v STOKE CITY " MATCH THREAD

Tanner fouled, free kick

Tanner is consistently poor and more annoying than last season, although he is putting the effort in which is more than some players.

Come on City Please

We haven't even played a good team yet
Sloppy, unfocussed, poor mentality

Trott Saves

If you don’t change our way it won’t change results and to keep doing the same over is insanity .
Playing without wingers who know their craft is criminal is our downfall .

We have played some nice stuff on times but unfortunately our shooting is like our defending and its non league standard

Sòme one needs to make a banner, ‘ Trott Catch The Ball ‘ written on it.

No response
Stoke look more likely to score next

Again more really good build-up, but they look so bereft of confidence when it's time to pull the trigger.


Salech and Willock combine nicely and the latter tries to square it to Moylan. He should just hit it, though.


A defender comes in to stop Moylan's effort.

We are the better footballing side, but we need a tad more directness upfield

Tanner is a liability at the moment, but I hope he dies something to show us his worth. He is more than capable, even against Stoke’s ‘obvious’ two banks of four!

LATEST SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 1 STOKE CITY (35 mins)

Tanner is getting worse match by match

The problem is hes not a Championship player

Ive always said possession means nothing if you don't score

Gabriel Osho with an excellent and strong tackle to deny Bozenik the ball. The striker would have been clean through if he didn't time that well.

Agree. A few more aren't either

Salec has he touched the ball

Don’t understand the Tanner hate, he’s created nearly every chance for us, he’s seeing a lot of the ball because he’s getting into advanced positions.

If we did that in both wings, the defence wouldn’t be so tight and more spread in the middle. There’s nothing happening down the left at all

I don't get the Tanner hate when he's done more than anyone on our team except Joel C. There are at least 8 players worse than him in our team at the moment.

The ref is awful.

Tanner seems to close his eyes when close to goal

Willock with a deep cross at the back post and Tanner is arriving late. Again, though, as tends to happen quite offen with Tanner, poor connection when it needed a good one. Tough chance but still half a chance - they have to convert one of them.

Absolute joke of a club….32,000 turn up thinking things had changed…back to league 1 where you belong Vincent. You don’t deserve us. Usual stuff, 70% possession zero shots.

What game are you watching , tanner is absolute useless

He's done more by missing than Salech has all game. How about complaining about someone else for a change.
