Three things we learnt about from City's game on Saturday

Football LeagueWorld writer Anthony Yeo identifies three things that we learned from the 2-2 draw between these two play-offs hopefuls…

Sunday 14th Dec 2015

1) Cardiff need to rediscover killer instinct

Cardiff have blown a two goal lead twice now at home which must be a worry for manager Russell Slade, especially in their quest for a place in the top six.

They had chances to put Wednesday away but failed to put to do so, and it ultimately cost them two points, and their place in the play-off positions.

2) Both teams have a chance

The draw didn’t benefit either team but they both have the fire power to trouble any team in the division.

If they can tighten up at the back and become more consistent they will be in the mix come May.

We could be seeing this fixture post season in the play-offs.

3) Cardiff’s home form is superb

For Cardiff to maintain their challenge, the home form of the Bluebirds is crucial.

Having lost only once at home this season, they have made a trip to Wales a formidable one.

Although they blew a two goal lead yesterday, most teams will go there and struggle to cope with the Bluebirds’ attack.

I think our attacking intent these last 3 games could be the start of something i think we will thrash some teams very soon. :ayatollah:

Despite an excellent first-half, I said at half-time on Saturday that we "should be guaranteed at least a draw now" and sadly I wasn't joking! :cry:

We nearly lost and (despite some dithering in recent times) it convinced me we need a manager who can actually 'manage' a team of players on the field of play!

Russell Slade s not that man, if we have any ambition this season

And before others start, it wouldn't be any better if Trollope was to take his place, as he has undoubtedly improved many aspects of our play but is a better coach than he was a manager! ;)

I don't understand why we left the opposition stamp their authority on the game, we let too many teams push us further back and we back off too many players in games.
