Ralls was probably our best player, apart from Marshall.
We were shocking.
Gunnar did his usual win ball, lose ball thing.
The back 4 were shocking, Manga looked like he was in a dream, Connolly and Peltier tried hard, but both made errors, Malone better maybe, but poor final ball.
No one had a good start, but faded badly again, Pilkington had a mixed game. Watt tried, but was living off scraps.
Mason did some good touches early on, but faded quickly.
Just no spark, all to slow, awful passing, so many under hit.
Nice hog roast at the beam back though.

You can't complain about the passing you're the one who wants the ball kicked forwards at every opportunity. How dare Whitts slow things down, pass it wide and keep possession.

It's OK, he was even worse on Sunday against much poorer opposition.
Funny, but before the game we watched some old City matches, Whitts was superb, long raking passes, playing at a tempo, unfortunately that has happened less and less last couple of seasons.
Maybe you haven't been watching much in the last few years.
It's not about launching it forward- and you know that- so no need for the crap comments- it's about playing at a tempo, something he used to do, and that Ralls has done too, and Kavanagh before that.

Llan bluebird as you prob know ive been a big whitts critic. I stand by what i say that he isnt a 442 midfielder but the formation is the problem not whitts. Whitts could still do a job maybe further forward in a 433 or a free role as a 10 in a 4231. Slades tactics have ruined a lot of players imo, noone is another prime example

Rubbish!!! Ralls is not in the same league as Whitts. He couldn't set his alarm nevermind the tempo.
Like Leggy said tonight Cardiff didn't get one ball into the forwards feet. Not one ball. All kick and rush which is what you and everyonelse who complains about sideways passing have been crying out for.
