" RUSSELL SLADE IS FUMING/BUT ALSO INSISTS CITY CAN FORCE THEMSELVES IN TO THE PLAY OFFS "

Table viewtopic.php?f=2&t=145418 :ayatollah:

The Bluebirds manager was furious and let the players know how he felt after letting in 3 first-half goal away at Norwich City.

"More players will be leaving this month"

Russell Slade is a mild mannered sort of guy, but he didn’t pull any punches when he went in at half-time and demanded a reaction.

He got it and that’s a plus, but he admitted to being frustrated and angry over that poor first half display. Cardiff gave themselves far too much to do in chasing the game.


“I’m disappointed with the defensive side of things particularly the third Norwich goal. That took the biscuit to be honest,” fumed Slade.

"There’s two things, we have to improve defensively or change personnel.

The Bluebirds are now ten points off the play-off places in the division, but Slade insists his team can still force its way into the top six.

“Of course it is possible,” added Slade.

Slade doesn't show his emotion, but he admitted to letting fly at his players during the half-time break - and the squad will gather for a viewing of the match video on Monday before heading off to Middlesbrough,

During that meeting Slade will be focused on those first half defensive moments which blew Cardiff hopes of earning some reward at Carrow Road.

It's great that he blew his stack half-time and is showing the video first thing Mon (today!!! Lol). Perhaps he needs to show this level of demand before the games start. The players need to feel that if they don't give 100% for 90mins, they will have consequences to face. To be honest, he is a kind of old-school guy so I'm surprised he hasn't busted some balls before now.

I agree, Bruno is possibly the best CB in the league and Turner isn't too far behind when it comes down to just defending (not passing) however the protection the midfield give them, especially Whitts is almost non existant.

Which personnel is Slade aiming at when he says he might have to change personnel? Selling Malone already? Or giving him away for free, perhaps?

Christ how many more defenders can he want. 7 on the bench soon enough.

No. He rung Burgstaller half time and gave him the hair drier. Also told him again he is leaving. Also heard he rung Kim's interpreter saying the same thing. Fabio probably got a telling to.
