MATCH THREAD: BARNSLEY V CARDIFF CITY ' MATCH THREAD

Vaulks is the reason nothings happening in mid field passes back boring long throw slowing it down and plays way to deep missing ralls drive

Very poor first half, Watters worst of a bad bunch.

Watters is like a farmer chasing something around his own field

But its not a ball

Am I allowed to say that this is a drab performance?

No your wrong.
It’s a dire performance

Actually is good to see your commenting on the football for a change and not bringing up your agenda and anti Tan shite.

Dreadfully done I'd say in the first half all around. The formation setup is just wrong i could see it after 10 mins and nothings changed sadly. We be lucky to get anything here if they carry on doing the same cack 2nd half but fingers crossed.

Also noticed s lot of long balls trying to reach the strikers gave me shivers again it looked like mc carthy tactics

Can somebody please tell me what Vaulks adds to the team. He cannot pass, he cannot create, he loses his man at will and doesn't raise a gallop. he has a long throw which rarely if ever produces anything other than to slow the momentum of the entire team.

Get Vaulks and Watters off and put Evans and the new big guy up front on or we will lose this game.

Why boot it down the middle to their giant centre half. No control in midfield. Even Doyle is hitting it long. Misusing Ralls badly. I hope SM has not good a long term injury. At least he can pass.

We have not won a header off them long balls that's more concerning to me but that's the only output it seems due to the formation we are playing its like we got a solid back 5 without wingbacks and 3 central defensive midfielders first half.

So far Watters out of his depth

Is he though the service to the front two has been terrible don’t really think anyone would do much with that level of service.

But when he has had the ball, not done much at all with it??

Agreed. He should have played Drameh in early on and he’s provided no relief for the midfield and back line because he’s not running the channels.

We’ve got to be careful with using subs too early now with Flint already on but the new guy or Davies will need to come on soon if things don’t change.

Bluebirds

Scrappy, you can tell why we are both down there.


Cardiff playing the long ball

Watters is just getting caught off side too often, we can’t build any momentum.

Promising balls over the top, first for Watters, then for Hugill, but they are both offside. Frustrating.

Well one universal lesson in football …… you can’t take things for granted. Barnsley do not look like easily the worst team in the league. Not by a long way.

Hugill bundles over Andersen. A chance for Barnsley to lump one into the box.

Vaulks heads clear, good from him.

Watters bashed off the ball after Vaulks tries to play him through.


Just looks off the pace tonight, Max.

Watters ploughs into Anderson and gives away a free kick

We're not behind though and it only takes one good move

LATEST SCORE: BARNSLEY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Watters is not at the races

Another frustrating attack. Doyle drives up the pitch and gets Drameh away, but the right back bundles the ball out. Goal kick.

Watters off thank f**k davies on

That substitution had to happen, Watters gave us nothing tonight.

Watters off, Isaak Davies on.

This game is so scrappy

Yellow card for Barnsley's Anderson, as City attack at pace and he needs to scythe down Doughty

LATEST SCORE: BARNSLEY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

Doughty skips away from Andersen before the Barnsley skipper scythes him down to stop the attack.

Yellow card for him.

Vaulks' long throw causes a little bit of chaos, but the ball cannot be turned towards goal and the ball is cleared.

Doughty goes down for the second time in minutes. Might be the end of his night.

As the hour mark passes, the Bluebirds get a long throw, which Vaulks puts into the box and a melee ensues with no end product

Quina goes off for Barnsley with Carlton Morris on in his place

LATEST SCORE: BARNSLEY 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY

We’ve got a few problems here with these injuries, looks like flat back 4 now.

At least Morison is making the positive substitutions.
