12pts from our last 45pts available SHOCKING


Cardiff City 0 Wolves 1

Crowd 21,165 But actual attendance approx 16,000 incl 2,000 Wolves fans.

Marshall, Connolly, Morrison, Ecuele Manga, Peltier, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Kennedy, Noone, Doyle, Jones.

Moore, Adeyemi, Ralls, McAleny, O’Keefe, Macheda, Revell.


Hopes were high before this game, as Cardiff were now unbeaten in their last 5 League games and our defence was looking good after only conceding 2 goals in those 5 games

But what was concerning many fans was City had only gained 12pts from the last 42pts available, so today Slade had to show that the win at relegation bound Wigan was not a one off.

Wolves was never going to be an easy game as they had fire power,but we had a mean defence.I have to say this match I really was looking forward to

Sadly the game never lived up to the expectations,which were not helped by a poor Ref.

My worry is, I just dont see any imagination and very little creative football and our best football came when we went down to 10 men after Whittingham was sent off late in the second half.

City started lively and the first 10 minutes were City's

On the 12th minute the whole ground including the Wolves fans gave a minute applause for the tragic death of the 12 year old Cardiff boy who died yesterday RIP

As the game went on Wolves started to take control and were far to quick and strong for City.
In the 25th minute Noone lost the ball and Wolves tore open our defence to score with a simple shot 1 nil Wolves

From then on the first half was all Wolves, they could of been 2 up in the 42nd minute but thankfully missed an open goal

The first half Wolves deserved to go in 1 nil up.

The second half Wolves continued to be in control. The Atmosphere from the City crowd was awful.

Doyle went off in the 62nd minute to be replaced by McAleny.

64th minute Marshall was called in to make a great save.

Whittingham was sent of in the deservedly for 2 yellow cards, but minutes earlier a Wolves player without a doubt should of been sent off and wasnt,good management by Kenny Jacket as he quickly substituted him.

City were down to 10 men now and you would of thought it was Wolves who were as for the first time City really looked like they meant business as for the last 15 minutes of the game it was attack after attack by by City. We were now playing good football and could of equalised, but as they say to little to late.

Over all in my opinion Wolves deserved their away win and City looked ordinary.

I will repeat again Russell Slade is not the answer and has no imagination. We battled,puffed and huffed for most of the match, that wont win you matches.

I agree Annis. It was an okay performance but there was no creativity and that let us down. I reckon we will take some points at Rotherham.

Disagree with you, looked solid and had a good shape and looked hard to break down. We aren't creating enough but one step at a time. We showed a great attitude and gave it a real go against a free scoring wolves and limited them to chances even with ten men. I can see light at the endof the tunnel although I agree slade isn't the man to take us forward next season. He's brought in some decent players who actually want to play for the shirt.

James, No imagination and could not create much,thats whats missing.

We were far better when Whittingham went off. His forced absence might be a blessing in disguise to enable us to be more creative in midfield.

I agree

Stringfellow, I honestly did not think Wolves went in to 2nd gear, they are not a top side and when they opened us up it was an easy goal.
Yes we battled and gave our all, but we lost at home,which shows we are lacking once again.

TOTALLY AGREE

James, No imagination and could not create much,thats whats missing.

We actually created more chances when Whitts went off, which says it all really!
Do you have a boy called Tom sitting near you at CCS?

Annis, shockingly bad again today. Ref was poor, but even if he was good we wouldn't have got anything.

Like you said, without the Wolves fans today I'd dread to think what the actual attendance would be?

I say it every week, but Slade can not be our manager next season and I think Rotherham will beat us on Tuesday.

Yeah, he says he sits by you. He's a kid. My beat friend in school, and he's city mad.

Stringfellow, I honestly did not think Wolves went in to 2nd gear, they are not a top side and when they opened us up it was an easy goal.
Yes we battled and gave our all, but we lost at home,which shows we are lacking once again.

Wolves weren't allowed to shift up the gears like they have in previous matches. It was hardly comfortable for them or like they were a few up and could stay in first gear. Yes we lost, but I think if people can accept what we currently are and the huge transition in personnel then they would see things differently. Today I saw not for the first time of late players who want to play for us and who care. I seen better ball retention again. I also seen a solid defence. A lot more positives than a month ago, I am a glass half full and I can see we lack creativity but also foundations to build on.

It was much better today and clearly an improvement on what was going on a few weeks ago. We didn't panic when we went one down, and Wolves packed players behind the ball to stop us playing or get much possession. We didn't panic when we went down to 10 men either. We have played worse this season and won.

I''m not getting carried away here - the team is clearly a work in progress. But I'm more encouraged than I was after the Brighton game. We now look a solid mid table team, rather than relegation material.

We know we are missing a midfield leader and creator, but there was a bit of hope. Contrary to your opinion, I felt that we didn't LET Wolves get out of second gear. Their goal came from a slight error by Connolly and a failure by Marshall to get out to the ball before the cross went over. I know we gave them 2 opportunities from individual mistakes, but we could have easily got a goal or 2 back ourselves.

As I said before, there is much work to be done. But I think your dislike of Russell Slade is clouding your judgement a little Annis! There are lots of people who are willing him to fail, and would be really disappointed if we went on a long winning streak (unlikely, I know!).

Onwards and upwards!

I agree - I must have been writing my post as the same time as you!

I find it difficult to take many positives after a home defeat to a team that didn't have to play particularly well to beat us. At least the players looked as if they were putting in a bit of an effort this week, but sadly we are lacking in quality to compete with the better sides in this division. I said a while back that I was concerned as to why no other teams showed much interest in Doyle, and I am not convinced that he can be a prolific goal scorer at this level. Looking at our remaining fixtures, I think we can get another 10 to 12 points, which should be more than enough to ensure we are still playing championship football for another year at least. A slight improvement today, but nowhere near good enough.

Annis, shockingly bad again today. Ref was poor, but even if he was good we wouldn't have got anything.

Ned, Very poor Ref,but we deserved to lose as we dont take control of the games.

Slade I would like gone Now.

12pts from our last 45pts available SHOCKING

Wolves were ordinary but edged it. The ref helped no end by bottling what should have been their sending off. Had we played 11 v 10 I reckon we would have got something out of it.

Your sounding like Russell
I do agree we battled and the players turned up today But no imagination from our manager,plus City never looked like winning. Wolves were only 8th before today.

James, No imagination and could not create much,thats whats missing.

We actually created more chances when Whitts went off, which says it all really!
Do you have a boy called Tom sitting near you at CCS?

Totally agree James

Tom?

Yeah, he says he sits by you. He's a kid. My beat friend in school, and he's city mad.

We def need a leader.

I want him to succeed,but nothing shows me so far that he will.

Your right in that we never looked like winning it. I am no Slade fan and would like him replaced in the summer but I agree with an earlier post that it seems your view of each match is clouded to due to your feelings on slade.

Had that been Malky would have it read " battled to the end with ten men, restricted wolves to very few attempts and were up against it after some poor refereeing decisions "

We are improving, slowly but we don't look relegation fodder now

The ref bottled it should of sent their player off and we were denied 3 penalties plus if we went within 10 yards of the keeper he gave a foul

I find it difficult to take many positives after a home defeat to a team that didn't have to play particularly well to beat us. At least the players looked as if they were putting in a bit of an effort this week, but sadly we are lacking in quality to compete with the better sides in this division.

Correct were playing at home and not against even a top 2 team.
Wolves never went in to 2nd gear.
Players tried today

Doyle, I am worried?

Wolves were ordinary but edged it. The ref helped no end by bottling what should have been their sending off. Had we played 11 v 10 I reckon we would have got something out of it.

I thought Wolves were ordinary as well.

Agreed with most, but that's exactly how we won games with Malky

True in some ways,but at least we won the games

An improvement but as soon as wolves scored we just went down hill. The problem is we dont play for 90 mins its patchy.enjoyed the game in patches but we are being beaten to easily especially at home.
Something is missing in are play I think midfield is a tad week we dont create enough through the game. Doyle worked hard but needs work on the training ground.

For me overall getting better my worry is I just don't think slades the man but we are better since trollop has come in and I hope we keep Improving hes definitely made a big difference.
