' THAT'S TEN POINTS DROPPED '
The only surprise in today's selection was that Russell Slade didn't welcome Lee Peltier back into the line up, the other ten starters were exactly as I thought Slade would go with.
Those asking questions why Immers didn't start today after scoring last week at Huddersfield, the answer is simple, Immers didn't play well last week and his goal was a gift that he couldn't miss, also his replacement Tom Lawrence was a serious contender for man of the match this afternoon.
Regarding the game it was typical of what Cardiff City have been all season, inconsistent!
The first half, and yes the conditions were awful but City did very little that could be considered as a threat to MK Dons.
City have rarely put in a ninety minute performance all season, the one exception I can think of is the Wolves away performance just a few weeks ago, it feels like we take a few steps forward then a couple back.
We are inconsistent over ninety minutes and inconsistent from match to match, there has been a number of times that we return at home and are hopeful, maybe even expectant, of a win but we just can't take the opportunity to plug the gap between ourselves and the play offs.
What frustrates me more than anything is dropping ten points against two teams who are threatened by relegation, both Rotherham and MK Dons have beaten us at their grounds and both have taken points from Cardiff City Stadium.
Those ten points dropped against just these two teams underline the frustration we have watching City.
All is not lost, with Ipswich losing at QPR, the gap could have been 7 points between us and the Tractor Boys but we are not making life any easier on ourselves.
We go to Charlton next week in search of a third away win on the trot and it is quite remarkable that we are looking for improvements in our home form, Slade has struggled on the road but looks like he is changing that stat but at home they can't give the fans the wins we hope for.
I still believe this side can make the play offs but we must start winning back to back games and be more consistent than we have been all season.
It's a tough ask but it can be done, we have the quality in our squad to do it.

Good post I hope we don't do what we did last season is that we switched our home and away form around we need to have good form in both.

And that's exactly why we won't reach the play-offs.
It's been the same all season and can't see anything to suggest a change for the better for the rest of the season.

Great report we dont play for 90 minutes to inconsistent. We have had a few chances to get in the playoffs. Lets be fair mk dons
should be put to the sword. They have let so many goals in. We missed noone today and have enough quality in the team

I think if ever there was an opportunity, today was the day, but, as has been said, its all too predictable for a RS side, & we will probably struggle v Charlton to.
As for RS being "Hot Property", he probably is,,,,but not in this division,,,surly???

I agree with that. Said to my lad at the 65 min mark. Noone would be a great sub to bring on now and have his direct running on that pitch would of created chances and more. Perhaps would of been better if the ref had called it off today
Sat Feb 06, 2016 7:04 pm
Agree what you say but the pitch is the same for both teams
Sat Feb 06, 2016 7:10 pm
What we should be doing are doing, is very different, I think that we all agree that we have a squad of players more than capable of being in the top six, yet week after week we are discussing, how the team have under performed or not gone all out to secure a win or indeed held onto 2 goal leads. It isn't going to happen this season, there are at least 6 more consistent and capable teams than us.

I agree, & IMHO this is why RS will be released after his contract ends,,,,& he's bound to know that by now!

Everybody was buzzing on here after the win at Huddersfield, bk to earth with a bump. We should be nailing teams like mk who have taken a battering of late. Yet we couldn't manage a goal against them let's not blame the weather or the pitch. Pile of shite. Let's be honest.

I was there today and have had a season tick for the last 12 years you prat 117 Ninian stand. And to keep missing golden opportunities is not an excuse I'm afraid, sick of hearing we played well but didn't win. Always full of excuses.

Problem is I got city running through my veins and the minute you tell the truth about the team we all love, the bitter fans come out and won't have a bad word said, we should have won that game today by about 3 or 4, we were all there to witness it how many chances do these players need to just get a goal like my pub team would of buried more than city did today.

We all hate it when city dont win on paper we should of pounded them. They came to defend and they worked out slade has no tactics simples

We are mid table team under Slade sadly no surprises
Sun Feb 07, 2016 7:47 am
We are just 3 points off the play offs. There is still hope.
You wont win every game of football you expect too, thats football .
With the quality of players we have, we could and should be knocking on the door of automatic promotion , Humpty Dumpling our clueless manager is the reason we are hoping to reach the play offs.
We have played some decent football this season despite Mr Slade. Watching him today wandering around his little area aimlessly, I was thinking he is going to catch a cold hanging about in that foul weather.

A couple of weeks ago castleblue gave one of his stat updates and basically stated that we needed to take 63% of the points on offer between then and the end of the season to to historically accumulate enough to make the play-off's
Since then we have averaged 66%
