MATCH THREAD: " PRESTON v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREA

At the moment we have NO end product

We’ve got the ball
But don’t know what to do with it

No pace, and gaping holes in midfield.

The whole set up from the get go was completely wrong.
Why the f**k did he set up with 5!?!?!?

Can’t see us doing anything.
All I can see is a hammering from here.

Wow Preston unlucky there

Absolutely awful, with the defence all over the place.

It is disheartening to see professional football players unable to clear the first man from a corner.

Nearly caught on the break again.. 3 centre backs.. CLUELESS

Why are the board not acting the players can only do what is asked of them from the manager , and he’s fking useless . They look lost no guidance .

if he looked at our record like our goal difference it kind of tells a story defensively we are terrible to yuou have to out score them witrh this team no chance set up to get a draw and its failing already

Colwell really needs to work harder at closing down etc For some reason he looked tired after 15 mins!

What a clanger of a game plan!!

Shapeless. Clueless.

The pace and tempo of the game is all wrong. We are too slow and passive and PNE can just sit back and intercept

If we had the right tempo - attack is the best form of defence.

We are being caught at will currently and another Preston goal was only averted by a poor pass from the Preston player!

Some signs that we can move the ball upfield but even Colwill is struggling and right now we need players who can force the attack and make Preston think twice about attacking us in numbers

Horvath gathers the ball after a poor first touch from the Preston attacker

LATEST SCORE: PRESTON NE 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (28 mins)

How is their striker Osmajic always free when we have 3 CBs????

This is painful!

You don’t often see teams go down without a fight.

We need to get pace on.

The thing that pisses me off the most is we kept a clean sheet Saturday so the idiot then decides it's a good idea to change the defence ffs

Tinker man. Clueless

Why are the board not acting the players can only do what is asked of them from the manager , and he’s fking useless . They look lost no guidance .

Blame him all you like but the players are worse than awful, can't defend, can't beat the first man, can't pass & can't score. Colwill is a liability but so are the whole defence, who he keeps passing the ball to.

Puppet Riza brags if he gets a draw or undefeated for say 3 games.

But forgets to state: 1 Win in 7 or the bigger picture 5 Wins in 28 League Games if We don’t Win Tonight.

Cardiff just toothless in the final third. Preston ferocious with their defending and snuffing out danger and Cardiff can't live with it.

We have a threat upfront in Salech but we don't want to use him ... really poor set up and tactics even the city commentators making comments about it.

Milutin Osmajic should be on for a hat trick at this rate,, he is opening up the defence far too easily

Brilliant by Fish to stop it being 2-0

They look like scoring every time they attack. We look toothless. Embarrassing

We could of been 2/3 down

It’s Rizas fault he’s worse than shit he couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery

Fish is quality. Daland is more help to this team when he's on the bench. Get him off for anyone other than a defender.

There attack line are ripping us apart. This could quite easily be another 6-0.

He was brought in by Erol Bulut, so ‘defence first’ looks like his ‘default’

The commentator just said Preston ‘are comfortable’ and he’s (smartly) right!

Horvath gathers another ball after a very good interception from Will Fish knocks the Preston attacker off his stride

Goal no.2 averted!

LATEST SCORE: PRESTON NE 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (34 mins)

get the ball to selech hes big strong can hold the ball up wins headers

Salech does well to win a free-kick from Porteous.

Totally wasted

I have said it before, and I will say it again, this is sabotage by Tan, pure and simple, revenge against us as City fans for daring to question him and for daring to stand up against the red. He lost interest in us from that point on, and his only goal now is to run us out of the league entirely.
