' INCONSISTENT, FRUSTRATING BUT STILL POSITIVES '
Very disappointed and certainly frustrated with that result today.
Cardiff City had the majority of play in the first half but failed to take chances that they created again.
Too many times this season, especially at home, have City created chances but failed to take them.
In the second half, Lee Peltier and Bruno Manga had gilt edged opportunities to score but failed to hit the target let alone test the keeper.
I thought too many players were below par this afternoon, there were a few individual performances that gave some positives but overall the team just didn't click today like they did against Wolves last week.
Compared to last Saturday's terrific win at Molinuex, this was very much a below par display.
Fans were right to expect a win today but it seemed that many players out there today looked like they thought they could turn up and the result would just come.
It was a missed opportunity today to get back to back wins and close the gap to the play offs.
If Russell Slade and the players really believe they can make the play offs in May then there has to be better performances than what we witnessed today, the frustrating part is that we know we have quality in the squad but we just don't have any consistency in performances or results.
The question is now, can City go and get another away win next week against Huddersfield to avoid losing ground on the top six, if we are to get three points then there has to be better performances from more players than what we saw this afternoon.
We are lucky to have not lost ground and still trail the play offs by five points and that is the biggest positive I can draw after this disappointing draw against a poor Rotherham side.

So was I.
Some of his kicking was suspect, his decision making coming out for long balls were heart in mouth moments, not his commanding self.

Radio Wales phone in, on the way home in the car was full of people saying how shit We were etc and how it is all Slade's fault etc. Today I don't agree we played ok not great but the players has to take the blame for missing gilt edged chances and Marshall going kamikaze

sorry carl but commanding and marshall do not go together
he has never commanded his box
hes a shot stopper only (not from long distance)
Red mist again today , he has a habit of that
Just before his rush of blood for there first goal he miss kicked his clearance straight out for a throw in ,, he was slaping himself in anger and in my oppinion he lost his head
also he doesnt organise HIS defence for corners ,, he always stays on his line , and it looks like he allways has players in his way

I don't think it was that bad today. We scored two goals from good play, 2 stupid out of character mistakes allowed rotherham to score, and we came very close to scoring the winner. How often do we score 2 or 3 goals in a match?
I was disappointed with some of the supporters today, on the players back within the first 15 munutes of the game. Had the 1000+ of us that went to wolves did that last week, i bet the team wouldnt have played the same. Supporters are seriously needed this season. Too many people confuse real football with x box, you cand sprint around a pitch for 90minutes!!

The players who missed chances were defenders. The attacking unit was terrible. Slade selected them and the tactics. Clueless. O'keefe was hardly in the game yet he lasted 90 minutes. Slade does not have a clue.

The inconsistencies are the opposition. We play the same way whoever plays. Are Ralls Gunnar or O'Keefe any more actively mobile than Whitts & Dikgacoi ?
Pack the midfield, get a bit physical and keep it tight for as long as you can and we fold.
Wingers that are not 442 wingers, no recognised strikers and no pace....
This is Slades team.....

Every week when I get the bleep on my phone from Cardiff World that announces the team and subs, I look at it and think this is definitely a top six squad, then 2 hours later we more often than not have not performed or failed to get result, that has to be down to tactics and management
