MATCH THREAD: CARDIFF CITY v STOKE CITY " MATCH THREAD

Absolutely pathetic

Seen better parks players

ZERO SHOTS ON GOAL BY CARDIFF

3 FROM STOKE

You aleays love a negative stat. Hit the post though.

THATS THE STATS ON EFL

END OFF

I PUT ALL STATS OUT

GLAD YOUR HAPPY WITH OUR PLAY

Its like deja vu
Tanner is an easy target but how bad has Perry NG been ? FFS
Depressing . What will change ?

Defending mistakes and lack of communication between the defender and keeper cost us a goal. We look disorganised at times. It can only improve in the 2nd half

We've had good chances but everyone seems scared to shoot

We have to mix up the play a bit, it’s so predictable.. side to side, no runs in behind until finally someone puts in a cross that doesn’t find anyone. By the way do they practice crossing because we are abysmal at it!
Salech looks very short on confidence and on his heels all the time, he looks like a forward scared to get the opportunity in case he’ll miss.

Another game where wr ate playing well but lack a finish... Tanner two chances to do something but like Saturday he doesn't know where goal is at far post! Salech holding well bringing in players n
But to me he's nearly always in two minds pass or hold? Whilst not shots on target it doesn't tell whole story let's see if can turn good football into goals.

Absolutely pathetic

Watch what you say we have a a Clown on here

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 is showing some effort and at least beating his man and looking the most likely to create something .Willock needs to get in the game we’ve been very poor down the left so far

Gifted a goal again. Bagan caught wrong side. Trott didnt help. Utterly dreadful but we havent played badly. The boys are trying, no lack of effort out there.

Are you sure dreadful??

NO ONE SAID THEY DONT TRY JUST THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH MANY OFF THEM

He should have a hatrick in this game, what people seems to miss is he's the one making everything happen. We should be comfortable already in this game again terrible defending is costing us

People forget hitting the post counts as off target and besides that we haven't been close to getting one on target. Awful.

The final delivery is absolutely awful at times and when is been ok we can't connect with the f*cking ball to put it in the net. But hopefully if we keep passing from one flank across the back line and then to the other flank 283636 timers we may get a decent ball delivered in the middle and somebody on the end of it to put the ball away , we are losing because of bagan who's weak and trott who I'm sure gets fined for running off his line on anything over the bloody top that's the only reason and shit shooting

It been the best performance of the season we've battered them but can't hit a barn door. I expect us to just give teams a goal headstart at this point we've done it in every game

I think we’ve looked more threatening. The game is lacking quality but we’re getting into the right areas. Tanner has missed some glaring chances but at least he’s getting into position to score. Just need one to drop for us and I think it’ll create som momentum and confidence in the group. We need Rubin from deep.

Correct


Honesty is not allowed by some

We have not been good in front of goal

I thought we played some excellent football in that half.

Very frustrating because we had some fantastic opportunities, but it’s the same old story — we’re just not clinical enough in the key moments.

Tanner could have had three.
Moylan took a touch when it was perfect for a first-time shot.
Willock had the chance that was blocked.

They’re defending really well — the tackle on Moylan was a great example — but we’ve also gifted them some chances, including the goal. Bielik probably has a lot on his mind, but he’s nearly gifted them two.

I feel sorry for Tanner because he’s given everything. Take away the key miss at the back post and he was very unlucky with the shot that hit the post. Pretty much everything we’ve done well has come down our right-hand side.

I’d make one change:

Bielik off, Bagan to CB and Scalon on.

I also wouldn’t leave it too long before moving Moylan out to the left, taking Willock off and putting Ashford in the 10.

There’s definitely a goal out there for us, but I can also see us making another stupid mistake and gifting them a second.

Exactly always seems to be the whipping boy lately at least he doesn’t hide like some players do

WE sadly do

It's okay we've had 67.8% possession at half time.
Remember the days when Warnock would have us with 20% possession & winning 2-0, my how things change.

Ive always said it means nothing if we don't score

It’s so entertaining to watch us play, and we’re playing much better than we did in the previous two games. Unfortunately, we’re just missing the two key things that win you football matches:

Be clinical and don’t gift goals.

I can’t think of one occasion in that half where they actually played any real football.

Their goal came from a lump over the top, and we’ve pretty much gifted them every other chance they’ve had.

City attacking

City passing well

But then give it away Stoke attacking on the break
