being positive is great....... but

Sun Nov 30, 2014 3:39 pm

I was at the game yesterday and the reality was a bit different.

For large parts of the game we were once again second best. Most fans round me thought we'd got out of jail yet again. If we had lost this game by 4 or even 5 goals then we couldn't have had many complaints.

In the first half their left winger ran circles round Connolly who was rescued quite a few times by Pilkington getting back to help out.

Given the choice In the first half I would have swapped either of their wide men for Noone.

For me Kenwyne Jones was a waste of space after 50 minutes when he ran out of steam. Time and time again we had to knock the ball forward into space to relieve late pressure but by that time he'd stopped trying. Towards the end fans around me were calling for Slade to haul him off, even though they knew we had no subs left.

Why did it take Slade and his staff 10 minutes longer than the rest of us to realise he had to swith Fabio and Brayford? Fabio's been tried at right back already at Cardiff without being effective. At left back he's been one of this seasons best players. I think the idea only hit home when he heard fans shouting at him to do it.

I'm as pleased as the next fan for 3 points away at long last but lets not get carried away. If the playoffs were next weekend we'd have less than no chance of getting through with this type and quality of football.

Some valued points but kj created the goal, I sometimes wonder if I watch a different game. We have given ourselves a platform to build on which am confident we will do.

Ifs and buts are bollocks, we won as we scored and have a great defence, probably one of the best in the League :thumbup:

Posts aren't NEGATIVE just because they have a different viewpoint to yours
It's a Forum for debate.

I said I was pleased to win, though the game was far from a quality performance by Cardiff.

I agree that people have different opinions and it would be boring if we all shared the same view! What we do have in common is that we are all happy with 3 points.

Rubbish....just someone giving their opinion and if for once you can stop thinking that everyone's farts smell like roses perhaps you right see that the guy has some good points. Just because you don't agree does not make it negative.

It is negative but he does have some good points and a different opinion.

Give me a few minutes lads.

Just for a laugh I'll try and rewrite it in a POSITIVE way.

I was at the game today...... What a great f*cking 3 points that was!

Weather was fab too which made it all the more worthwhile.

Jones did well. Late on he even stopped chasing the ball so they could lump it back in and give Fabio and Turner a bit more to do, thereby doing them a big favour by helping with their match fitness.

Doesn't Marshall make you smile. Diving around like he really appreciates his mates keeping him in the game. f**k me I laughed so much at all their shots being saved i gave myself a hernia. I suspect it was the laughing that gave Marshy one as well.

You have to smile at good old Slade. Playing us for fools when he brought Fabio on at right hack, then making us beg for him to switch Fabs over to left back. No wonder we sang his praises at the end when he gave us the fist pump and lifted his cap just to show us he doesn't care about the style or entertainment, just the 3 points.

The way their wingers went past our lads in the first half just gave us the opportunity to show off how well we can chase back. Great save off the line by Brayford as well. f**k me if Slade had played him right back we might have gone one down there.

We may only be 2 wins off the playoffs now but we are defo all of 4 defeats from relegation.

Finally I'm really grateful to the nice lad in blue who pissed all over my shoe after the game when he was so preoccupied with the mistaken opinion that we'd been lucky yet again. Try and stay positive buddy, pissing on a fellow bluebirds shoes is no way to show how much a City fan you really are.

Beats me..... it's so negative

Or could it be one of the mods thought it was a different slant on yesterday and thought it might promote a bit of discussion.

Have to agree and these posts don't seem nearly as negative when they're littered with humorous ditties like these! :D

Wez, Because We try to give a variety of topics and other posters a chance to have stickies :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

If you post a topic from the media good or bad for 24hrs it gets a sticky :thumbright:

If its your own topic and does well it gets a lot longer :thumbright: :thumbright: :thumbright:

For me its having one of your posts pinned at the top of the forum to draw attention to it.

For Wez its what he resorts to when his internet connection isn't working.

Wez is a good chap. Perhaps our most "positive" poster since Luke, 2B2H, has thrown his teddy out of his pram over Slades selections.

Good post as well mate. A different slant & gives people something a bit different to think/talk about.
I find it a bit sad that someone doesn't like it being in the top section of posts submitted & that it's not all things gushing about Cardiff City! :lol:

Thing is I'm City mad. I wouldn't go to just about every home and away games if I wasn't. I just like to say what I see, good or bad.
