My Opinion
No such thing as luck in football, you make your own luck in Football.
One win from our last 8 games and since day one the football has been dire under Slade.


" Cardiff City manager Russell Slade was adamant he would cling to the positives from last night "

Slade Said "We looked organised and compact last night "

Slade saw his side beaten for the second time on the road in four days as goals from Patrick Bamford and Lee Tomlin sealed their fate


Russell Slade has insisted Middlesbrough got lucky after Cardiff City’s away day issues continued.

Bluebirds boss Slade saw his side beaten for the second time on the road in four days as goals from Patrick Bamford and Lee Tomlin sealed their fate and kept them firmly entrenched in mid-table.


Slade was adamant he would cling to the positives. He said: “I think we looked organised and compact. We reduced Middlesbrough to few opportunities and maybe the first goal was crucial.

"After they got the first we should have managed things better and stayed in the game and Kenwyne’s goal could have been important against a side that don’t concede many.

“We’ve had a response from that first-half against Norwich but ultimately we’ve come away with no points and that’s the frustration, but I still saw positives.”


Russell Slade has said that his Cardiff City troops paid the penalty for conceding the first goal in Tuesday's 2-1 defeat at Middlesbrough.


"I thought we looked organised and compact and reduced them to only a few opportunities," Slade told Sky Sports News.

"Maybe the first goal was crucial and they got that. It was frustrating because we started the second half well and from a counter-attack they hurt us.

"If we had stayed in the game and not conceded a second then Kenwyne would have got us an important goal. I was pleased with the defensive set-up and we were much more compact. But ultimately we've come away from two away games with no points and that's frustrating."

I used to think you talked Bollocks lol :ayatollah:

But yet again I have to agree with you and I must be getting dementia as RS does not see the game the same as me ( and thousands of others by the look of it) :bluescarf:

I prob do sometimes,but Slade always makes excuses instead of being realistic & honest in how bad we really are.

I didn't see the game last night, listened to it on Cardiff City Player, but from the sounds of things we were playing a lot better than we have been playing? And the stats reflect that, 44% possession was it? And lets not forget, Middlesboro are one of the better teams in this league, not many go there and win. I think Slade needs this transfer window to get players that will play for the team (and not for their paychecks) in and to get rid of the overpaid guys that couldn't give a toss about the club. Players like Revell are needed, players who will run themselves into the ground. Can we all just give Slade some time to sort out the mess Ole left before we start saying he's clueless, out of his depth etc.?

I think we were improved for much of the game last night. A LOT better than at Norwich at least. I know we lost and yes there is still work to do but BOTH teams yesterday were attacking well it seemed

I was only listening on the radio so didn't actually watch the game itself, but the commentators seemed to think it was a marked improvement in play etc.

I'm fed up of his same excuses every week. The bloke is just not up to the job..

I also listened on the radio and got the impression that it was a much better performance. Annis, would you agree with that or was it just another awful performance?

Cardiff City player is part of the club. They are unlikely to keep blasting poor Russell Slade and his team otherwise they would get sacked.

It's not Slades fault he got the job. It's his fault we are crap though.

Nice bloke but Slade out in my opinion.

I wasn't listening on player, I was on regular BBC radio

Commentators were ALL saying that it was a GREAT game for a neutral supporter as both teams were attacking and defending well (up until 65 minutes at least)

Wez, first of all you dont even watch the dire football and have ago at me,yet your not there yourself,so for someone who continues to snipe at me,when you finally start going week in week out then have a snipe,at least for 43 years I attend and cheer them on no matter what the result,on here I let my feelings be known :thumbright:

Also,we always make excuses,weve just played a team on a good run,near the top or theyve just got a new manager etc,well the excuses are running out.

About right. I would say everyone in the concourse last night were confident we would get something out of the game, perhaps the 3 points.

The first goal was crucial and it went against us. Basically we were undone by the tactics on the night. Middlesborough managed to step up a gear because of that.

to me it just looks like he's just trying to put a positive spin on a defeat, like many managers choose to do. with a team that has been low in confidence for much of the season, does it make sense to call it as it is and pick players out that have under performed and hammer the team whenever they lose? i'll leave that one to you to work out.

John, Last night, first half,we gave a good account of ourselves,second half mistake after mistake.

Norwich game,first half awful,second half good.

This happening week in week out.
