Do you think slade is a good enough manager to take us up?

Mon Nov 10, 2014 8:24 pm

I know it's only been 5 games but do you think he can take us back up?

A couple of things that have annoyed me so far is how he moaned about lack of scoring at away games and how he will be changing it up to try and score more away but yet didn't change anything apart from the defence?

Drops one of our better players to play players out of position.

Also how matts is getting treated I personally think is wrong he's 19 years of age!! Still a kid and he should not be getting shoved out how he is... If Slade is going to change it up he should be the first player going straight into the side alongside with morrison. I don't think ralls makes much difference when he comes into the squad doesn't make much of an impact.

Our home form is going very strong mind and if we can sort out the away form and start to pick up some wins and go on a good run its still not to late to catch the top 2 but it's a big ask to do so at the moment so hopefully the play offs we can still finish in!

No

I think he will keep us up though.

Honestly, I think we'll be lucky to make play offs. I don't think were inherently bad, we're just not as committed and focused as some as our opposition (derby, watford, bournemouth).

We won't be going down but I dread to think about the 2015/16 season. I can see us being worse than we are now, both on and off the field (finances etc).

Mid table no better

Not even if we were the only team in the league. This season will be a write off and we will do well if we make top 10!

This is going to be a very long road to recovery.

We won't be anywhere near.

I don't think so, not on current form but things can change very quickly and it's not a strong division. Not sure it's down to slade just where we are at, I personally think more to it with daehli and mr tan is behind it. Just a feeling I have, lightweight not been great, but you can't omit a player of that talent from squad! And he does run his nuts off!

Cardiff City boss Russell Slade's report card... we rate ex-teacher after a month in the job

Steve Tucker looks at what Cardiff City boss Russell Slade needs to have mastered by the end of the year

HOME FORM
It is at the Cardiff City Stadium that Russell has done his best work by far. When he arrived there were doubts about his suitability to the task, but victories over Nottingham Forest and Ipswich in his first two games gave the naysayers pause for thought.

The goals have flowed, too, in the Welsh capital with eight goals in the opening three games giving the home crowd plenty of bang for their buck.

Russell’s selections at home have proved successful and even if there has not been a clean sheet yet that is a minor quibble compared to the excellent start Russell has made in this subject.

Grade: A
AWAY FORM
It has to be said that it is away from home that Russell has struggled. Indeed, his efforts away from home have left a lot to be desired thus far. One might say he was unlucky at Millwall, but at Bolton Russell and his team were roundly beaten on a very disappointing evening.
The one bright spot is that a battling point was earned in the Bluebirds’ most recent encounter at Birmingham. It wasn’t pretty, but it was a result at least we hope will be built upon from here on in. It is a problem that stretches way back beyond Russell’s time in charge, but performances so far on the road under him have been disappointing and the general conclusion has to be, must do better.

Grade: D-

Reminds me of Jones.

Has one attractive looking style of play, which has no plan B

No. Mid table at the very best.
We are what we are a very basic championship club, that's what we have always been lately at best and that what we always be at best, Wales already have what they wanted, a top PL club, so why do they need another one, Tan has delivered nothing but misery since he took control if us.

Slade is too good for us and we have fair proportion of moronic dickheads for fans.

Haven't read any moronic posts on this thread just realistic expectations.
Although it does appear that there are some living on cloud nine. :o

No idea, maybe.

What I do know is that the current squad size makes it incredibly difficult to create a club with a good atmosphere and he must offload a load of players.

It seems that some of our fans are turning into the fan equivalent of tan himself. Wanting the man gone after 6 games. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Spot on! Both are rigid 4-4-2 men but so far I would say Jones teams played better football. Too much hoofing under slade.

No, mid table average team and things could get worse if the club decide to dismantle by offloading all the fair players.

Interesting times ahead.

The squad is good enough to get promotion but in my opinion not under Slade and his backroom staff.
