DID WHITTS DESERVE HIS RED CARD?

Yes. Peter Whittingham’s first foul was cynical, stopping a likely Wolves goal. Definite yellow card.

So too was the second one just eight minutes afterwards, Whittingham committed to the challenge and unable to pull out as the ball was moved quickly.

Whittingham isn’t the type of footballer you associate with red cards, so seeing him go off raised quite a few eyebrows inside the stadium.

But it was the right call by referee Robert Madley.

What a turnaround for Whittingahm, too. The last time Cardiff met Wolves at home in the Championship they won 3-1... and he struck a hat-trick.

Proof indeed of what a roller-coaster game football can be.



DOES SLADE NEED TO TINKER HIS TACTICS?

Yes. Don’t get too carried away by Cardiff’s gallant finish with 10 men. Wolves controlled the midfield for the most part and once again Russell Slade’s team were bettered in the possession stakes.

Wide men Craig Noone and Matthew Kennedy were not in the game enough in the first half, nor strikers Eion Doyle and Kenwyne Jones.

There is no point having two players up top if you’re being over-run in the midfield and thus are unable to get the ball up to them.

Slade is a firm advocate of 4-4-2, but 4-2-3-1 has to be the way to go as Cardiff move towards next season.

Cardiff need more legs, energy and possession of the football in the midfield.




WHERE DOES THE RESULT LEAVE CARDIFF?

Down two places in the Championship table to 15th... and still looking over their shoulders a little.

Tan is adamant Cardiff will finish in the play-offs, but they are 18 points off Norwich in sixth spot with just 12 games of the season to go.

Tan is to be admired for his optimism, but realistically Cardiff have no hope. None whatsoever.

Looking the other way, they are 10 points clear of Millwall who occupy the last relegation spot at present.

Luckily, Millwall, Wigan and Blackpool appear doomed. But Cardiff are likely to finish closer to the bottom than the top.

Not going anywhere with the tactics and formation we are using
And also the centre midfield pairing doesn't create chances and doesn't allow us to counter attack
Everyone can say whittingham used to do this and do that
We need gunnarson as he can actually put a tackle in and won't shit out like some of them
All well and good then but it's about now, not a few years ago

16th PLACE!

Tan continues to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no idea about football at all.

Play-offs?

He also thinks Doyle will score loads of goals for us. Well he might do in League One when Slade eventually gets us there.

And he continues to employ Slade - probably the biggest proof that, like his manager, he hasn't got a clue.

Very true - some still believe that we can reach the play-offs and that Slade is the right man to take us forward.

If we've looked like we're improving over the last few eeks it's only in comparison to how bad Slade has made us look in the games before the so-called "improvement"

One Question.
When Wolves went one up, albeit against the run of play, who in their heart, let alone their head, believed that we were going to get anything out of the game?

If Tan is really saying we will finish in the play off , it really shows he knows f all about football

Not really. Surprisingly perhaps I thought we had more of a chance after Whittingham got sent off as we seemd to be a bit more threatening.

The problem is that when a team scores against us, we need to score two goals to win, and when did we last score two goals in one game?

"... but 4-2-3-1 has to be the way to go as Cardiff move towards next season. Cardiff need more legs, energy and possession of the football in the midfield."

Thank you, PA, I've been saying that for ages and ages. Managers need to be antelopes and not dinosaurs.

#SLADEOUT

once VT sees the season tickets for next season surely he will get rid of Slade.

Result was done as soon as Wolves scored I felt.Trouble is it seemed the players thought the same until the ten man situation occured.
