" CARDIFF CITY HAD PLENTY OF ISSUES OFF THE FIELD "

Wednesday 15th March 2017

Vital Cardiff



Tom Lawrence and Emyr Huws both play for Ipswich Town.


Speaking ahead of the Cardiff clash,Tom Lawrence revealed: “I didn’t get the opportunities that I should have had at Cardiff City under Russell Slade and there were plenty off issues off the field that was unsettling the club,”

Lawrence has also been linking up with fellow Welsh international Emyr Huws to good effect in recent weeks after the midfielder was loaned to Ipswich by Cardiff on deadline day.

Huws will of course be missing for the trip to Cardiff due to loan conditions but Lawrence remains focused on the three points.

“The manager is not too happy with Saturday’s performance. We were nowhere near our best, so we’ll take the point, but we can’t perform like that again,” Lawrence added.

“When we played Reading and they got a draw out of us I thought we got robbed. We’ve robbed one at Barnsley, but I think we’ve been due a bit of luck.

“Now we just need to get the win before the international break. We’ve got to go to Cardiff and show how good we are.”

TL's best game for us (IMO) was the 4-1 win vs. Brighton where he played in his natural wide right position. Didn't play too often again in that role and never seemed to settle into a central midfield or striking role.

He is now doing well under a manager who knows how to get the best out of players. Luckily we have an even better manager who I am confident will deliver the goods whoever he signs.

Is this sarcasm? Huge debts, transfer embargo, huge squad/wages to reduce, fans not showing up. I could go on...

Correct Jack, which has not helped the players.

Plus Slade would play players,drop them, make them want to leave etc which helped clear plenty out. Thankfully Gunnarsson stuck it out :thumbright: :thumbright:

Annis,I was saying this in the context of his personal short term loan time here, not all the well published issues & turmoils that has engulfed Cardiff City FC over the last decade, prior to his arrival.

Just wondering if there was anything else going on, with him & RS in particular???
