My View/Opinion

:ayatollah: " CHARACTER/ ATTITUDE AND DOMINATION TODAY " :ayatollah:

For me today showed Character by City and that City can dominate a game and got what we deserved 3pts :thumbright:
City had 59% possession

3pts well deserved :ayatollah:

City are now in the Top 6 :ayatollah:

Both sets of fans helped make an atmosphere today :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Cardiff City 2 Charlton 1 :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Crowd 13,980
Approx 700 Charlton fans

Moore, Malone, Fabio, Morrison, Connolly, Ralls, Pilkighton, Whittingham,Dikgacoi, Jones and Mason

Sub Wilson, Tamas, Manga, Noone, Gunnarsson Ameobi and Revell

City went in to this game with 2 defeats behind them and were today facing a Charlton side who had not won for 4 games.

First 15 mins all City attack after attack :thumbright:
It then evened out and Charlton had their chances.

In the 40th minute Mason rounded the keeper for what looked like a certain goal to be in my mind brought down, yet the Ref booked Mason :shock: :o

Half-time City 0 Charlton 0


48th Minute Morrison failed to clear the ball and put Charlton through to score a well taken goal 0-1 :cry:
51st Minute a clear handball by Charlton but Ref waved on No penalty :shock:

Thankfully Mason got our revenge and scored in the 52nd min 1-1 :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

67th Min Ameobi came on for Jones

74th Min Noone on for Pilkighton

75th min Goal Morrison 2-1 CITY :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

85min Gunnarsson for Mason

My Man of the Match Joe Mason :thumbright:
Fabio was not far away from man of the match


CARDIFF CITY 2 CHARLTON 1 :ayatollah: :ayatollah:




Up Next Brighton away next Saturday

Exactly a deserved 3 pts we dominated and to come from a goal against the run of play and win does show the character that Slade has put into the team and well done Slade and the boys Fabio MOTM again. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Very happy with result. Potential banana skin after our last 2 defeats.
I am quietly confident that we can stay on top 6 as only Hull so far can claim to be better than us.

I was a bit worried as well, but thankfully City played well and deservedly won :thumbright: :ayatollah:

I still don't believe we will be top 6 come May, but you never know Slade could shock me and I really hope he does :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Why not Annis? We are playing well, you can put a line through last weekend, apart from that we've shown top 6 form.

We've got a real togetherness this season and we'll win more than we'll lose. :bluebird:

Good win only time to win at home today in the championship :o :ayatollah:

Re: My View " CHARACTER/ ATTITUDE & DOMINATION TODAY"

Sat Sep 26, 2015 4:31 pm

I see no reason so far why we cannot stay in top 6. Brighton will be an interesting yardstick.

Happy with the result and performance,only complaint from me was our crossing of the ball into the box first half was a bit poor.
Thought Morrison had a good game today,Fabio man of the match. :bluebird:

Norms, I have enjoyed this season so far,best for a couple of years :thumbright:
But the jury is still out for me on Slade, I said 12 League games would decide for me,but I need to see what happens when we play better teams and if Slade can handle the pressure of keeping us in the top 6.
I am loving wins like today, :thumbright: :thumbright: but I am honestly still undecided .

Fabio was man of the match by a country mile, in my opinion of course

I agree on that and City will have to work harder on it. :ayatollah:
Morrison ok,but Fabio was quality again, I gave it to Mason as he worked his socks off today,just a pity his finishing was not better.

I was going to say Fabio,but I say it every week :lol:

So I gave it to Mason for his non stop effort today and of course his goal :ayatollah:

Couldn't agree more, final ball was poor but that will happen at times. At least we are working a position to be able to play the final ball. Morrison had his critics but superb again, fabio mom although quieter by his standards but again that will happen. Atmosphere was ok in and out like the game, fans are trying and we are moving in the right direction, it's good to see.

I feel we have had to go back to go forward from fans to board room to players and I feel we have done that quicker than I thought possible. The fickle fans which has always been the case at our club will return, this lot might surprise a few but we need that decent striker to complete this team :thumbup:

And to the clowns who bood ralls for two successive bad passes! Hang your heads in shame, one of our best players and future of our club!! Morons!!

Great result.
surprised that Gunnarrson and Tamas were in match day squad after both their performances in U21 match against Sheffield United last Monday. O'Keef also had a poor game for U21s

Think the title of this post sums the game up perfect today :thumbright: Game we dominated in parts and didn't deserve to go a goal down but as you say showed great character to get straight back up and pressurised them. Mom could of been 2 or 3 players which is great to see. Mason if he can sort his finishing out he can be a 20 + goalscorer. Also don't see anyone who had a bad game today. Also really enjoying this season first time since probably promotion year :ayatollah: :bluebird: :ayatollah:

Sorry Annis I thought the atmosphere was absolute dog shite. Starting cheering for the team and straight away was told to sit down. Canton was quiet and where was our new found ultras singing politically correct songs ? :laughing6: :laughing6:

Definitely an entertaining game for the neutral.

I felt we edged the game but Charlton did look like they could have got a point. Might be stating the obvious here but if someone can step up and be that 20 goal a season person we would be winning these games a lot more comfortable.

Ian, I thought we should of been 2 or 3 nil up with in the first 20 mins, then Charlton could of scored 2 in the first half, but over all we deserved the win and it could of been by more. Charlton have not now won for 5 games now, poor team they are .

From what I am seeing this season Annis it looks to me there is very little amongst the teams. Have a bad day and any one of them will beat you. Take your chances and you will win. Definitely fine lines.
