MATCH THREAD: " CARDIFF CITY v SWANSEA " MATCH THREAD

Ref ruining the game today for me. Moore has an unbelievable chance before Bennett fouls him, that being his 3rd poor tackle of the game. Ref scared to make a decision, we had them on the counter either 1-1 or 60 mins vs 10 men. Plonker but who's surprised any more

Very poor from City - back to where we were two weeks ago. Only one team playing football, and unfortunately not us. We are playing out of defence too slowly with no one making space like Swansea. Terrible defence for their goal - Tv commentator blamed Smithies which was a bit harsh! Their Bennett lucky to be still on the field - we should now make sure that we have someone running at him, like Harris did, to give him food for thought! We can still do this, but we have to be me more proactive.

Again early goal f.ck.ng us up on the back foot swansea should be down to 10 men glatzel for harris murphy for ojo

For me we are just outclassed here and are lucky it's just 1 nil. As ever I can take losing to a better team but I cannot accept losing to a team who want it more.

Whatever happens today NH has got to look at the CB pairing Morrison is not leading that back 4, time for change.

Totally unimpressed so far. We don't seem to have a clue.

How is their centre back still on the pitch ? Even Trundle says he was lucky to stay on !!

We’re being overrun in midfield so may have to go with 5 in midfield. The choice is whether we do that by going 3 at the back to match them or one upfront.

Neither team playing particularly well so plenty to play for.

Offering nothing against a side with the best defence in the top 5 divisions.
They are not invincible and we have beaten better sides of late...

Keep the faith...!

A spineless display so far.
Vaulks & Ralls look out of their depth.
No strategy.
swansea having an easy ride.
City need to bare their teeth.
As bad as our display at swansea last season.

Same as Stoke game. Just not at the races. Hit and hope up to Moore.

Terrible defending for the goal. Jack’s should be down to ten. Ref bottled the decision. Yellow all day long.

Need to make a change at half time. Gratzel on for Harris.

Can’t believe we’ve come out with the same team.

Ralls and Vaulks over run by 3 and sometimes 4 and the two wingers don't touch it and Harris doesn't change it !!!!!!

C'mon lads don't make me go for another Christmas cake slice...

Oh dear moore off

On another day that back heel flies in...

why is mark harris a professional footballer?

not sure he's done anything

Ah crap. Not good to see Moore going off like that.

Oh dear moore off

Game too far

We’re always going to be overrun against a possession based team then ad a 3 man midfield against our 2 and there you have it.
As usual we’ll have to wait and hope for a set play to equalise.

Interesting stat 1st half their two forwards had 41 touches but had only one attempt on goal! Need to press them more

Smithies can take fault

Not sure it was his fault Annis, buck stops with Joe Bennett, no attempt to win an innocuous ball in to the box. Shot was point blank, if he'd saved it, it would have been a great save. Shambolic first 16 mins.

In fairness wasn't easy to head that ball for Bennett but who was nearest player again to scorer? Morrison he just fails to do anything other than get in smithies way it seems to be a trait of his.. at least we have got more into game

How was in in any way Morrisons fault ?

Bacuna and Harris didn't prevent the cross coming over, Bennett totally misjudged the flight of the ball and missed the header, Nelson was nowhere near his man, was in cuckoo land and was lost again like normal leaving Morrison to deal with the strikers on his own.

I agree.
He’s like a broken record banging on and on.

It’s no more Morrison’s fault than Nelson, Bennett’s or Smithies!

Kieffer Moore hobbled off injured and was replaced by Glatzel, not good news

Bacuna was at fault for the goal he didn't track Lowe

First shot on goal?

Nelson is a great defender, his distribution is shocking...

Harris and Ojo need the hook pretty quickly !!!!!

Chances coming now. All be it half chances.

Come on lads.

Nelson is a great defender, his distribution is shocking...

AGree, decision needs to be made very soon...Great stopper and athletic thats it

Ralls off

Ralls off

Stupidity behond believe

As bad a derby performance as I have seen in donkey years
