My View/Opinion

Cardiff City were Awful tonight, but some how got a draw against lowly Bristol City

Not a proper shot on target all night by Cardiff City :shock: :shock:

Shots on target City 0 Bristol 6 :shock: :o

We stay 8th in the league.


CARDIFF CITY 0 BRISTOL CITY 0

For me this was the worst we have played this season :shock:

Marshall Peltier, Connolly, Morrison, Fabio; Noone, Gunnarsson, Dikgacoi, Whittingham; Mason, Revell
Subs #CardiffCity Subs: Moore, Malone, Tamas, O’Keefe, Pilkington, Ralls and Ameobi

Crowd 15,287
Away Support 1,000 approx

City went in to this game clear favourites with a run of 4 games undefeated against struggling Bristol City.
City fans were expecting a win, which would take us with in a point of the play-offs.


For me the first 20mins was virtually all Bristol City :shock:

Cardiff not a shot on target after 30 mins.

44mins MARSHALL Superb save.

It's been All Bristiol City, if I was them, I would be unhappy going in at half-time 0-0

Half-time City 0 Bristol City 0

City come out meaning business :ayatollah:

50 mins RALLS on for Dikgacoi

End to end

66 mins Noone replaced by Ameobi

78 min Bristol hit post,then goal disallowed for off-side

81 mins Pilkighton on for Revell

Last few minutes all Bristol City,other than Ameobi missing a sitter

CARDIFF CITY 0 BRISTOL CITY 0


My man of the match Matt Connolly :thumbright: :ayatollah:



Up next the long trip to Ipswich Town this Saturday :ayatollah:

That's why we will never go up,under Slade, or will the crowds return under him.

Completely agree. There was NO drive from midfield whatsoever and toothless up front. Absolutely tepid. :sladeout:

Re: " CARDIFF CITY WERE AWFUL TONIGHT/ BUT SOME HOW "

Mon Oct 26, 2015 9:48 pm

Plays offs , we've got no chance I'm afraid. To be honest we are a very average championship team with a very good goalkeeper. Oh and Slade ain't got a fukin clue. Sub Noone for Amiobi and leave Revell on..Slade is an idiot.. Rant over.

Boos at the end it sounded like Annis. Not sure if that's to the ref or the team.

Nowhere near good enough tonight. We have no idea what to do when Kenwyne Jones is missing.

Re: " CARDIFF CITY WERE AWFUL TONIGHT/ BUT SOME HOW "

Mon Oct 26, 2015 9:50 pm

As I've said on Twitter, Annis, the problem for me is up front. Joe Mason is garbage, and I'm sorry but he has NEVER been good enough for us, which is why I can't stomach the "Super Joe" crap that's been getting spouted these past few years.

He offers us nothing, and just seems to jog around the pitch doing a whole lot of bugger all. Defenders aren't worried about him in the slightest, and even the way our midfield play seems to show a complete lack of faith in his abilities to finish chances too.

Forget the Slade hate, it's having Joe Mason as our main striker that will stop us getting promoted at this rate. Breaks my heart that ALF didn't work out for us, because I genuinely think he'd get goals in this team the way we play now.

Ned, that was shocking tonight and crowds will not return under Slade

Re: " CARDIFF CITY WERE AWFUL TONIGHT/ BUT SOME HOW "

Mon Oct 26, 2015 9:58 pm

Every time I see American, he gives me hope but there is no end product. His miss at the end was incredible!

Marshall kept the fame level several times. Without him,3 points down the pan.

No shape in MF and no ideas up front.

Worried now. Bristol aren't exactly Real Madrid but they looked good tonight. They were denied by the woodwork more than once.

Agree, fans that have gone who were thinking about going to the next home game won't after seeing that on TV.

With the run of fixtures now, he could be under a lot of pressure come December time.

Mason is Div 3 football and Revell is also Div 3

I am not a SLADE hater, just don't rate his football as he for me will never ever take us up or bring the fans back, we battle under him, but Slades brand of football will leave us with an empty stadium and the proof is there week in week out Sadly

A bit harsh on mason, he's our top scorer. Revell and slade belong to Div 3 I agree

He's a trier/battler but not real quality in my opinion

They do, maybe Mason would play better under a better manager

We just need a striker to come in hopefully Saadi can be that we are good defensively just need a cutting edge the reaction on here is just laughable people forget that Injuries are costing us a bit right now roll on Ipswich for 3 pts. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Completely agree , when we first had him I thought he would turn into a cracking player with a run of games but sadly he's just not good enough he doesn't exactly strike fear into defenders

most of his goals are from deflections or shots with no-one else around him due to defensive errors , he just runs around and offers nothing

Mason has been a regular all season so that point is invalid , he's not good enough to be a main championship striker (really don't think he's good enough for this level he's a trier but he's not good enough ) , Mason is a passenger in the team

Agreed, I do believe Mason is no where near good enough but can't agree that he's a worker or battler, he just appears lost and hardly affects the game at all.

Tonight we were poor but looked clueless once Dikajoi went off. We should all know by now that Gunnar just isn't good enough as part of a midfield 4. Admittedly he does battle but his distribution is poor and he's not quick enough.

Unless we get a goal threat from somewhere we will be mid table and nothing more. The frustrating thing is that if we had a goal scorer then we would be a real threat in this division this season as I haven't been impressed with anyone other than Hull and even then we were unlucky in that game.

You are the person who said earlier in the season that we did'nt need new players because the squad was already good enough. If the squad is good enough, we should be able to cope with injuries. I hope your judgement of Saadi is better than your judgement of Doyle who was also going to be the answer to our goal scoring problems according to you.

Totally agree, poor division all sides are fit and organised just need some pace and quality but most sides be saying same. I did say 4 points from both home games good return, I stick by that but play like that against Ipswich and defeat for sure.
