' My main worries, but We can still stay up '


Yes yesterday we showed great desire against Everton and for some stages of the game we matched them, same at Spurs away, but once again nothing for our efforts




We are once again relying on David Marshal match after match. Not just one spectacular save in every game but many.
Even match of the day pundits say " Without Marshal we would of already been relegated " thats how much we rely on him.
Not good really as we should be saying how the other teams goalies have saved them match after match.

We have not picked up one single point away from home under Ole, now that is very worrying. We need to pick up points on our travels if we are to stay up and that will mean winning at either WBA, Southampton, Sunderland or Newcastle, can it be done. of course it can.

I dont usually moan about decisions and luck, but I honestly dont feel like we get many decisions going our way by refs at away grounds,some very poor decisions yesterday.

To stay up we need to beat Crystal Palace and Stoke at home without a doubt. We also need to get a point of teams like Liverpool or Chelsea at home. All the other teams around us pick up points of the teams in the top half of the division and thats why we are failing to catch up or go above them. We have not taken one single point of them this year,another worry, but It can be done, as like I say the other relegation teams have been getting the points.

I believe we have got the players capable of keeping us up and on their day they can beat or draw with most teams in this division and it has to start now with Liverpool at home next Saturday. We cant all go in to this game saying, its Liverpool weve lost this one, but we will be okay as we will win at WBA etc it doesnt work like that. Ole,the players and our fans have to believe.

We beat Manchester City at home, drew with Everton and Manchester United at home, so why cant we get something from the lIverpool home game

I believe 4 wins and a couple of draws and we will stay up, its not impossible, it can be done, its now time to turn these improved performances in to results

I would wright off next week and put a few fringe players in . Give our main players a break of a week ready for the real tests against the teams around us. I would rest Campbell , mutch , John , noone and maybe medel

If we beat west brom we will stay up and I believe after Liverpool is out of the way we will go unbeaten until Chelsea home .

It's in our own hands, we need as many points as possible, I would play a team that can beat Liverpool at home, on our day we can beat anyone, look at the Man City result.
Let's get the same atmosphere at CCS as we get away, yesterday at Everton was fantastic support even when we went 1 down, we didn't stop chanting, cracking effort by all.
It's going down to the wire, but I'm confident we can get the results that will keep us up and if we do stay up, I'm confident we have the wright manager to progress us and establish us in the BPL.

Enjoy the ride!!

I'm not sure which away game you'd expect Ole to have picked points up from??

A home game even against Liverpool and u would put fringe players in??

We finally found a consistent team I definitely wouldn't put fringe players in!

Never say never look at man city

I'm not sure which away game you'd expect Ole to have picked points up from??

Swansea, Man United etc were playing awful at the time, many other clubs in the bottom half have taken points from teams in the top 10 this season, if u want to stay out of the bottom 3 u need to pick up points on your travels, a fact, unless your beating every team that u are playing at home ect West Ham,Hull City.

We CAN still stay up - it is so close at the bottom - only 4 points separate us from 14th and apart from Chelsea I would rather have our run in than some of our rivals - Believe - we can still do it

We had our easiest away fixtures in first half of the season. Should have been more attacking instead of how we did setup.

Agree , going to Palace setting up not to lose was shocking

As someone not very familiar with Cardiff City and miles away from being a football expert, i enjoy reading most of your posts and appreciate your overall knowledge of the game and of the club.

But, its getting more and more painful to read your more and more spazzy and poorly hidden atempts at talking the current manager down, based on unrealistic expectations and hindsight based arguments.

If you take yesterdays game into consideration, its pretty clear that the team achieved way better than most would expect them to in a very difficult away game against a team that is expected to crush City in both games of the season.
To even be in a situation where not bagging 3 points at Goodison is a dissapointment, is a giant improvement by it self.

In stead of appreciating that improvement and appreciating that City actually played som attractive and clever football that frustrated the usual Everton heroes, you feel the need to point out that bagging points at old trafford earlier in the season should be expected from Cardiff City under the current situation.
Its not like City is a premiership regualar with loads of superstars running around on the field.

This is expected from the slightly below average football supporter.
But for you as a writer and someone that means alot to people around the club, your lack of realism and objectivity is scary.

In terms of the current manager being Tan's man and someone who came in after the rebrand etc.
Everyone with some logical sense should know that every manager in every club wants the fans on their side.
He obv knows how important being blue is to the fans and the city, and he obv thinks that Tan is a giant clown, just as you guys, and if he had any ifluence on the rebrand whatsoever, you would be back to blue in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately OGS was not born and raised in Cardiff or have been a Cardiff fan since he was a child, and yes he probably took the job to get premier league experience so he can land a bigger job later.
But that doesnt mean he has no passion for the club or sympathy with fans regarding the rebrand etc.
That should be pretty obvious from how he acts in interviews and other puplic appearances.

As a very important note, it should be mentioned that i am norwegian and a huge OGS fanboy, so im overly biased by that, but the above is, for what its worth, my opinion.

I think you give him far to much praise! His football knowledge is far below average, and not much said in op either..

Out of our remaining 4 away games I think we can pick up quite a few points. I can see us winning at WBA, Sunderland and Newcastle. I kid you not and I expect us to come away with a point minimum from those games. In fact I will be disappointed if we don't get a couple of victories from that set.

For our home games a bit more difficult. Hopefully our home form will see us pick up enough points to see us through.

I only give my opinion as a fan, like you, everyone has their own opinions and beliefs.

I have praised our efforts and battling display yesterday, but at the end of the day, its results that will count at the end of the day and sorry to tell you that is a Fact, whether you or I disagree

I dont see your opinions or comments on any of the above just sarcasm,Ive just looked at some of your previous posts it seems being sarcastic is what u like doing

I would wright off next week and put a few fringe players in . Give our main players a break of a week ready for the real tests against the teams around us. I would rest Campbell , mutch , John , noone and maybe medel

If we beat west brom we will stay up and I believe after Liverpool is out of the way we will go unbeaten until Chelsea home .

A home game even against Liverpool and u would put fringe players in??

We finally found a consistent team I definitely wouldn't put fringe players in!

Never say never look at man city

I don't mean change the whole side I mean give a few who are struggling a break and the ones who are massively important to the next few games a weekend off . The odds are even with a full team we will lose . Liverpool will have to be massively off form which there not and we would have to play a blinder.

Medel had to have his calfs rubbed down twice on the sidelines yesterday so obviously has a niggle . Mutch came off after holding his hamstring a few minutes before and Campbell ran his ass off but was blowing after 70mins .
They could all do with a small break ready for west brom which is way more important .

The players to come in are good enough so why not .

Cheers for your opinion.

I believe you should believe your team is capable of getting draws or even shock wins away from home, if you dont believe this then there is no hope.

As to our improvement in our play, viewtopic.php?f=2&t=138110 I have praised that and I really enjoyed yesterday bar from the final result. But as I have said before and its a fact, its results what will matter at the end of the day or come May and we need some ASAP.

We did battle hard yesterday, and on another day may have taken a point, but also we could just as easily have lost by four or five goals. Our best player all season has been Marshall, and without him we would already be down. I'm struggling to remain optimistic, because if you take Marshall out of the team, I don't think we have many true premiership quality players. Not sure if fighting spirit will be enough without that extra bit of the necessary quality required to stay in this league.

How many more times do I need to say this before it sinks in ffs.

We wont stay up because the last two managers have decided not to buy strikers that score goals.Its not rocket science is it?

Strikers were targeted at the last transfer windows but none from the hot-list came through. If it was the club, the manager, possible relegation, money or any other reasons, I have no idea. But stay up and I think some great strikers will join this summer.

Ole didn't decide not to get a striker, he worked extremely hard to go out and get a striker, look up how we done, we were going to get Filip Djordevic on loan and then the Nantes Chairman pulled out at the last minute. We were making bids for strikers but no one wanted to sell because that's what you get at the last minute. January is also an awful window to deal in and you rarely get a player that means anything to you in the long term future.

Malky had the easier away games and had questionable results, for example a 2-0 loss at Palace, 0-0 with Norwich, 0-0 with Stoke(looks ok fair enough due to who they've beaten this season at home but we could have won that if he went attacking)

Only questionable away result was Swansea away, I can't really defend what happened there other than two influential players were carrying knocks and only one played when needed. But to expect points on the road when our away fixtures have been solid is silly The two away games before those run of fixtures too were Liverpool and Arsenal away, we've got rid of the harder away fixtures now and can now go to places like Newcastle, WBA and Sunderland hoping to get a few points from there

So man United are a great team this season? Swansea are a great team?

A rejuvenated team(for the time being) with RVP(the best PL player last season other than Bale(along with the debut of Mata) whilst we didn't have our new signings in Jones and Fabio involved. Like I said above, Swansea is the only questionable away result Ole has had.

Malky had the easier away games and had questionable results.

& Ole has had the easier home games and had some very questionable results.

Malky had the easier away games and had questionable results.

Hull and West Ham are the only home games that are questionable at home

& Ole has had the easier home games and had some very questionable results.

Hull and West Ham are the only home games that are questionable at home

And they were both shocking performances and results, Ole is still learning and I do feel for him.

Yer as far as I'm concerned Marshall has to be player of the season

Cardiff's hope must be that his confidence is infectious and justified. The bare facts are that they have lost 10 of their last 14 league games and won only two. They have not taken a point on their travels for three months. They are the Premier League's second lowest scorers and only Fulham have conceded more goals. Given their inferior goal difference, they are in effect four points – rather than three – from getting out of the bottom three.

http://www.theguardian.com/football/201 ... er-everton?

We're due a shock result I think, Liverpool are revelling in all their own hype after thumping Man Utd yesterday. Gerrard (as far as I'm aware?) for the first time, insisted that they are serious title contenders, which they definitely are!
But, they will arrive expecting (rightly) to win and probably already looking at other much harder fixtures.
It's written in the stars I tell you, City to get a result on Saturday and all the S Wales Scousers spewing in their beer.
