Disappointing but hopefully we will start to win some games the positives we didn't lose. Definatly need to sort the defense out though 4 goals against in 3 games is not a good start. Wolves is a must need confidence win for the players and for us fans to have some believe.

A late equaliser from Blackburn captain Grant Hanley left both sides looking for their first league wins of the season at Ewood Park.
On a night Rovers fans paid tribute to former owner Jack Walker to mark the 15th anniversary of his death, an early blunder by goalkeeper David Raya allowed Joe Mason to score for Cardiff after five minutes.
But after missing a host of chances, Rovers finally broke through two minutes from the end when Hanley converted former Cardiff winger Craig Conway's cross from close range.
The result meant Cardiff have drawn all three league games this season while Rovers have drawn two and lost one.
There was bad news for Blackburn with star striker Jordan Rhodes, subject to £14million interest from Middlesbrough, missing out because of an ankle injury suffered at the weekend against Huddersfield.

Oooh good away draw. Bollocks.
Going nowhere.
Can't defend.
Won't play attacking players.
Can't attract players to club.
Fecking clueless.


Bet you couldn't wait to post something like this


Not sure what you mean by that comment?
Please point out where I'm wrong...

Defence is a shambles especially at set pieces. Blackburn missed at least 3 sitters and should of won.
What Noone has to do to get some decent game time I don't know. Yet the ineffective Whittingham plays every game. The Revell/Mason combination is 'weak' putting it politely. Our Summer transfers are uninspiring. We desperately need better along the whole spine of the team... Striker (Campbell) Centre mid (Nolan/Ledley) ...centre back.
No pace in the side.

I'm interested to hear what you think.

Not wanting to watch crap football is not gloryhunting. Its common sense and a logical decision.

You wouldn't pay to rent a rubbish car. You wouldn't pay to go on a rubbish holiday or if you did you would be fuming about it. Why pay to watch guaranteed crap football that Slade brings to Cardiff?

The fact is there are far better and more enjoyable things to spend the money on. If you want to spend your hard earned cash going to games, watching crap and getting angry over it, then that is your choice.

A lot of people would rather enjoy the fruits of their labour, not set themselves up for dire football and the likelihood of disappointment every week.

Tan is an idiot (see interviews for evidence) and Slade is clueless. Whilst this is the case then why should people bother?

The club has betrayed the fans and has done since the rebrand. The switch back to blue was done because Tan lost the Sky money from relegation and now he needs YOUR money. I will never forgive him. He has never come out and said 'I was wrong to rebrand the club and I'm extremely sorry for putting the fans through this' because he doesn't believe that. He reversed the rebrand through gritted teeth to get money.

The club is still a circus and that's why Slade can hardly get anyone to join either.

The defence hasnt been great but we re without out first choice centre backs and until last night outfirst choice keeper (for now) it takes time for those three to get used to playing with each other.
Imo the reason noone isnt playing is tactical ralls is playing left sided midfield rather than as winger to sure up in the centre of the park with malone providing the width. Noone is an out and out wing so i'd say he's it competition with pilkington whos been playing well.
I do agree we need more up front but i think this is more down to lack of funds rather than Slades ability to attract players. I think he may address this via the loan market once the premier league 25 man squads have been confirmed.
The point i ordinary was getting at is there are many fans who didn't rate Slade to begin with and really turned on him during last December January when results and performance were awful. But have ignored the improvement in results since February and improvement in football this season.
