A lot of doom and gloom

I'm currently out of the country so didn't see tonight's game. I've already been told tonight was one of the worst games seen in a long time, but let's not forget Brighton are improving under Chris Hughton and in our current situation, surely a clean sheet is a small positive? All our best, most expensive players have been offloaded and Russell Slade has been put in the impossible position of replacing them on peanuts. Nobody can expect us to play good football and attack teams, as this will leave us wide open to ship goals. Everyone is saying tonight was a horrendous game and there were 2 rubbish teams, and I didn't see the game. But if we battled and stopped Brighton playing to get a clean sheet and a point, it's a step in the right direction surely? Or did Brighton miss a lot of good chances, outplay us and we were very lucky to hang on for a point?

Brighton were shit, and we were even worse! 36% possession at home is awful, playing 1 up front and not being able to string 5 passes together is shocking!

I at least expect to see some improvements per game, but it's the same shit every week! Ole got sacked for far less than this this season, but we know Slade will be here until he takes us down!

Wow! 36% possession at home with a 5 man midfield is woeful! I stick up for Slade because he did well with Leyton Orient and I felt he deserved his chance, and he's been put in an impossible position with us. But Slade really needs to work on our keep ball. Our possession stats have been abysmal under Slade.

If we kept possession of the ball then it'd take pressure of the midfield as they're constantly defending! I was so bored tonight that I started counting how many passes we put together, and the most we put together in one move was 9, and most of them were passing around the back!

Also, If you play direct tactics, you need someone to be playing off Jones, yet he drops Doyle to the bench? Just shows how clueless he is!

So he plays 5 in midfield, but we bypass the midfield by knocking long balls to Jones who's isolated on his own, resulting in us continuously losing the ball and only having 36% possession?

i dont think anybody in the crowd is expecting fantastic football......but what we do expect is effort...and sadly to many players cant be arsed.....

At half time we had 36% possession. That was with 5 in midfield.

Second half we went 4 4 2 and our possession rate stayed the same.

I agree what you said about Slade being put in a difficult situation. I wonder if the likes of Pulis could do any better?

If we go down, looking likely now, Tan gets the club he deserves. That is the bottom line for me.

difficult situation, yes if you know nothing about football, nothing about tactics, don;t train correctly and don't understand how to change a game. He's way out of his depth - he should go back to school as a pe teacher whence he came!

There's a lot wrong at the moment but I have to say this. The very least we should be doing as the home team is take the game to the opposition. Apart from Fulham game within ten mins of kick off our opposition this year has settled in to position, been knocking it about and are dictating play, even brighton, struggling brighton must have felt like barca last night. We have got to take the game to the opposition, especially at home. Limp and listless

You were lucky that you were not there. I would say that we performed like a Division 2 side last night which was quite generous as most sitting around me liked it to watching Barry ! It was dire. There are no excuses for Slade. We are witnessing the worst football at City for at least a decade.

Not so sure why his position has been so difficult. He used to have more talented players to choose from than any other manger in the Championship - and now they are even playing in blue. What are the difficulties so genuine to Cardiff?

Marshall, Whitts, Gunnar & Noone were pissing this league 24 months ago !!!!!!

Manga is premier league class, Jones spent most of his career there.

Morrison, O'keefe and peltier are solid championship players.

malone isn't that good, but in Slades head better than fabio

harris I am afraid to say isn't championship, Doyle unproven, but we have mason in thew wing, who is.



No excuses about expensive departures, the above team should be doing a lot better !!!!!!!

Be pleased your on the other side of the world as it was woeful, the only highlight was the final whistle. Slade hasn’t got a clue, where he was playing Whitts in the first half I don’t know and im not sure if Whitts knew either. No game plan, hardly any of the ball, next to no shots, no chances created, the only way we look like scoring is from set plays.
How anyone can believe Malone is better than Fabio is beyond me.

Brighton are terrible but we were worse, on that showing these two teams may very well go down.

As people pointed out we improved in the second half but id still rate the second half performance as 1/10 so imagine the first half.
First half we knocked long balls up to Jones (who did well I thought) but no one supporting him, no one close to supporting him and no one trying to support.

Without a doubt this club will only go forward once Slade is removed and a professional manager brought in.

Ross, I spoke to your Father after the game, he def has no time for Russell Slade and was really down in the dumps.

Have a good time

It was possibly the most boring, unentertaining game I have ever seen.

At least brighton attempted to pass it about a bit.

Cheers Annis. Dad probably told you I'm in Australia. I should be back in time for the Blackburn game so if my body clock can adjust, I will try to make it. As poor as we have been, I'm still keen to see some of our new players.

Ross, Yes he did you havent missed anything in fact, it really has been worse than you can imagine.
Some of the new players have played alright
Enjoy the rest of your holiday

Its going to get worse before it gets better. Its time to get real. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
