CARDIFF CITY TONIGHT DID ENOUGH TO WIN THE GAME, BUT HAD TO SETTLE FOR A DRAW

Not good enough though as if you keeping losing your away games, you have to win your home games

' Cardiff had over 60 per cent of possession and 17 shots to Forest's six '

To be fair to City tonight we saw some great football for at least 70mins of the game :ayatollah:

City now 6pts below 6th position


CARDIFF CITY 1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1

Crowd 15,461 Away 900 approx


Cardiff City Team : Marshall; Peltier, Connolly, Manga, Fabio, Noone, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Pilkington, Jones, Watt.

Subs : Moore, Malone, Macheda, Whittingham, Ameobi, O'Keefe and Mason


The pressure was on today for Russell Slade to deliver a home win and please the die hard City fans.

Cardiff went in to this game on the back of 2 away defeats on the trot,but with a very good home record, Forest also with a good home record but not so good away.

In the 9th min a hell of a run by Forest opening City up and ending with a great shot 0-1 Forest :cry: but thankfully minutes later a move started by Gunnarsson and ending with a cracking goal by Gunnarsson 1-1 :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

After 30 mins City had dominated with 68% possession and 9 shots

City continued to impress right up to half -time with Fabio, Gunnarsson, Ralls and Noone all playing well :ayatollah:

Half-tme City 1 Forest 1



To be fair to City they continued like they did in the first half :ayatollah:

64th min Ameobi came on for Kenwyne Jones.

68th min Gunnasson went off injured replaced by Whittingham


81st min Macheda came on for Craig Noone




City deserved to win tonight and will feel they lost 2pts

My Man of the match Craig Noone :thumbright:


Final Score CCFC 1 NOTTS FOREST 1


Up Next Blackburn this Saturday at home :ayatollah:

When has a top ten team sacked a manager and gone up after hiring someone else.

Derby and a few others apart, I think all teams would be happy to be where we are.

It's time for a positive change. Slade is an awful manager and when it comes to leadership, well he has NONE :sladeout:

I would rather us being the worst side for 70 minutes and winning games. Unfortunately there is no points for being the best team.

What worries me is that we are decidedly average. We are picking up a point here and a point there. We start talking about being unbeaten but we are moving away from the top 2 and now moving further away from the top 6.

At this time we are two games behind the play off sides and, imho, the results are not suggesting promotion.

This Slade out thing is becoming a joke. Just because we aren't having instant success you all moan about him. Take your blue and league 2 it would be a lot worse. We played some decent football against Forest and MK and were unlucky also at Birmingham. Forest unbeaten in 6 and clearly were going to settle for a point when we equalised. I guess its Slades fault also for our miss passes which we get punished for?

Re: " CARDIFF CITY DID ENOUGH TO WIN TONIGHT BUT "

Tue Dec 29, 2015 10:02 pm

First half we was good missed chances cost us again, 2nd half not as good and there sitter rite at the end would have summed it up tonight. No idea what slade was doing with the subs and the noone one was bizarre to say the least :shock:

Tanout!!!!

We are predictible our final ball is not there Jones and Ameobi have still not changed my mind it was sloppy from Ralls that lead to their goal but we fought back and got level :thumbright: and the celebration was odd hmmm :? anyway we need some pace sooner Saadi or another pacy striker to go with Watt the better and Noone started well but then faded and overall it was 2 points dropped and we need to go on a winning run now to stand any chance of play offs and Bruno my MOTM. :thumbright: :ayatollah:

Agree that the results at this moment in time are not pointing towards the playoffs but I honestly feel if we play like we have in the last three games then we will win more than we lose and we are still just about in touching distance.

We're actually quite close to being a decent side and played Brum, MK Dons and Forest off the park for decent spells in each game.

We just need to find a ruthless streak and the confidence in front of goal that would come with it. :thumbright:

Great to see you tonight Ryan :ayatollah: , the other teams are sussing us out and Watt was poor tonight.

Re: " CARDIFF CITY DID ENOUGH TO WIN TONIGHT BUT "

Tue Dec 29, 2015 10:25 pm

Manga brilliant, Noone very effective first half. Very short of fire power. Kenwyne no interested again and with Watt having a quiet game left us short on attacking options.
Very solid performance.
