" MAN OF THE MATCH AS POOR CARDIFF CITY GO BOTTOM OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP "


Ben Amos was your man of the match in the poor 2-0 home defeat to Leeds United on Saturday.

It was the former Manchester United goalkeeper'a debut and he had a good game, despite conceding two goals. Amos had a percentage of 34% and narrowly beat Peter Whittingham's 25%. Rickie Lambert was also a popular choice.

Thanks to all for voting and the next vote is on Saturday after Rotherham United away, where Cardiff City need to get a much needed win :ayatollah:

Kadeem Harris - 2
Aron Gunnarsson - 1
Lex Immers - 1
Declan John - 1
Bruno Manga - 1
Anthony Pilkington - 1
Ben Amos - 1

Well done, Ben Amos :thumbup:

Doesn't quell my dissatisfaction at Marshall's departure but it's a promising start to Ben's City tenure :ayatollah:

To me, he done his job and that's about it. Didn't do anything to excel to win the MOM but was voted because his first showing was an improvement on Wilson and the rest of the players were mostly poor.
That's not knocking him, I hope he does well for us, it's more a reflection on the rest of the team and Wilson.

Can't help feeling that Wilson has become a bit of a scape goat??

For instance he was put into a sink or swim position - we weren't playing massively well and then to help build confidence we sell the first teams main two keepers? Not really his fault - I agree he could have done a few things better but I imagine that the majority of preseason has been getting the said first two keepers match ready.

I actually think his own confidence has probably hit rock bottom - maybe he may never play for City again? Hopefully he'll bounce back though. Just think it's wrong to maybe blame Wilson when he didn't have much of a chance before he started
