I'll start by saying the performance and result was definitely the worst for me since Peterborough in March, that feeling that we let ourselves down and should have done so much better,

I think Malky has two problems at Cardiff:-

1) By going for quality over quantity. When you have the likes of Medel and Caulker in your team expectations rise and perhaps they have risen a little unfairly as we still have a lot of players involved who were there in the Championship.

2) Hull's form, Hull started off well and have attacked their way to good wins. However, Hull have a lot of experience at this level in the squad and even in the manager, even if their previous stints at this level were mediocre.

We think we can just go out like Hull but I have to say I am not sure if our squad is built for that, we are built like last season, tough to beat and until yesterday I wasn't disappointed with the results one bit.

In conclusion, let's give Malky time, he has always come through previous shockers such as the West Ham play-off games, Charlton away last season and all of the Peterborough defeats. Until yesterday I was delighted with our results and I believe a good win against WBA on Saturday will go a long way to putting us back in the right place.

We have a top manager who loves the club and loves us fans and has delivered for us time and time again, lets give him and the team all the support they need to get the big result on Saturday :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I'd agree with we were in Sunderland's position or any position where we were adrift in the bottom three, but we're not and my point is until yesterday the results were good.

Hull have had easier home games, we are better than them, drew with them away, and I think we will finish above them.

Yesterday was a disappointment, but it was just that one very bad game, they have a chance to put things right on Saturday and need to beat WBA who are only a place and appoint above us :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I really believe we will have a better idea of what Malky and this team can do next week, let's hope they can't start putting things right, with two more home games Sunderland and Southampton following quickly .....

Re: FELLOW CARDIFF FANS

Sun Dec 08, 2013 10:50 pm

I just feel a lot of us are putting faith in the fact we will win our home games against these so called easier teams.

I just fear we will be in the bottom 3 when that time comes and will end up putting too much pressure on us to get the wins.

Toke and Palace were our chances to get those points and we blew it. I now feel we have put too much pressure on ourselves.

The summer signings were poor. If that was the best Moody could do then was it such a bad decision to get shot?

Two marquee signings. One talented French full back. One out of his league Dane. One reserve keeper. One over the hill Nigerian. Have I missed anyone?

Relying on last season's midfield players was/is a big, big mistake. Cowie, Gunnarsson, Kim, Mutch etc have no experience at this level and it is now showing.

No pace down the wings.

No goal scorers with experience at this level.

There have to be wholesale changes if we are stay in this league.

Yes, you have missed a few,,,John Brayford,,, & Simon Lappin. Also keeping Tommy Smith & a new one year contract for Kevin McNaughton.

Your not the only one that thinks our pre season signings were poor. Over all a case of bad judgement & sloppy management, at all levels too me!

Last three games,

Draw against last years champions, I'll take that.

Draw away to a relegation threatened rival who next game beat Chelsea. Good point if you ask me.

Lose to a Palace side on a high because they've a new manage and we were on the day extremely poor.

We need 6 points minimum from the next 5 games.

If we have not won any of the next 5 i'll start worrying but until then we knew it was going to be tough and all we as fans can do is try and lift a side that will need to be at it from the off on saturday. Lets concetrate on this rather than slagging off Malkay.

Re: FELLOW CARDIFF FANS

Mon Dec 09, 2013 1:30 pm

The above doesn't even factor for the fact Steve Bruce is an extremely experienced PL manager.

At the end of the day we are a newly promoted side, a side, manager and club very inexperienced at this level. Malky is doing a superb job especially given the awful circumstances around him that the owner has caused.

We need to get right behind the boys and roar them to a win in a very winnable game on Saturday. 7 points from WBA, Soton & Sunderland and it gives us a nice cushion for the very tough January ahead of us :ayatollah:

I think Malky has two problems at Cardiff:-

1) By going for quality over quantity. When you have the likes of Medel and Caulker in your team expectations rise and perhaps they have risen a little unfairly as we still have a lot of players involved who were there in the Championship.

2) Hull's form, Hull started off well and have attacked their way to good wins. However, Hull have a lot of experience at this level in the squad and even in the manager, even if their previous stints at this level were mediocre.

We think we can just go out like Hull but I have to say I am not sure if our squad is built for that, we are built like last season, tough to beat and until yesterday I wasn't disappointed with the results one bit.

In conclusion, let's give Malky time, he has always come through previous shockers such as the West Ham play-off games, Charlton away last season and all of the Peterborough defeats. Until yesterday I was delighted with our results and I believe a good win against WBA on Saturday will go a long way to putting us back in the right place.

We have a top manager who loves the club and loves us fans and has delivered for us time and time again, lets give him and the team all the support they need to get the big result on Saturday :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

the manager brought in the players,trains the players, chooses on who he spends money on, tactics or lack of tactics...what 11 take the field...loves the club?? its football...........one up front asked to chase for 90 minutes......over a hundred games later still one up front knackered through miss use........if we go down,we play this again trying to get back up..if we finnish 17th its what he will do in prem next year.......doesnt anyone else want to see a goalkeeper that isnt Marshal have a blinder against us? balls kicked off goal lines, and of course some actual goals from open play on the back of a good move


No. Survival at all costs for me. :malky:

ahhh........11 men in your own penalty area trying to not concede a third,instead of caution to the wind having a striker play as a striker.............and actually try to get back into the game........yes survival for me too..at ALL COSTS including Malky

Draw against last years champions, I'll take that.

Draw away to a relegation threatened rival who next game beat Chelsea. Good point if you ask me.

Lose to a Palace side on a high because they've a new manage and we were on the day extremely poor.

We need 6 points minimum from the next 5 games.

If we have not won any of the next 5 i'll start worrying but until then we knew it was going to be tough and all we as fans can do is try and lift a side that will need to be at it from the off on saturday. Lets concetrate on this rather than slagging off Malkay.


I don't want to seem like I'm splitting hairs but we played Arsenal before Stoke, not United.

But I haven't seen anyone since the draw with Stoke that has said it was a bad result. The manner in which we played has drawn up these complaints, and rightfully so.

Loss to Palace, Holloway, Millen or Pulis in charge is poor and is something that needed to be criticised. We were bullied by them and made them look like world beaters. Mackay was out thought by Pulis and he didn't react to it. Instead we just sat back, create little next to nothing and take the beating. It shows that Malky isn't flexible with his tactics which leads me to believe he will take us down.
