MY THOUGHTS: CARDIFF CITY SEASON - PART 01
Sun Oct 28, 2018 6:27 pm
Here are what I thought on the matches this season,
Warning this is based on my opinion only, but if you agree on anything I have here then say so underneath.
PART 01
AFC BOURNEMOUTH 2-0 CARDIFF
MY THOUGHTS:
A start to a new season for both teams which means it is show time for new players and a newly promoted Cardiff City team. I thought this was a huge match for us because we could either had he win or a draw but unfortunately life in the Premier League was tricky for us, against Bournemouth who got themselves adapted to the top flight for years now, and this was evident against the Bluebirds. Still a solid effort from us against the Cherries.
MATCH RATING: 7/10
CARDIFF 0-0 NEWCASTLE UTD
MY THOUGHTS:
A win was on the cards going into our first home match of this season, and especially because Newcastle find themselves trying to do there best for the manager and owner, but in this match both Cardiff and Newcastle find themselves trying to get a goal. And ended up sending off a Newcastle player and a penalty rewarded to Newcastle and potentially the dirtiest player in the team in Kenedy the Chelsea loanee, thankfully a save from our number 1 goalkeeper Neil Eithridge. A valuable point non the less for the Bluebirds. A great match in which Cardiff could arguably have won but fans would take the point.
MATCH RATING 8/10
HUDDERSFIELD 0-0 CARDIFF
MY THOUGHTS
Lets face the facts and that is that the Bluebirds should off been on course for 3 points in this match no matter what happened. And in fact this was the match that saw our winger Nathaniel Mendez-Lang injured after a fast pace play which nearly saw the Bluebirds score there first goal this season, but unfortunately he got injured and things did not really improve until when there was hope for Cardiff when yet another red card was given to Huddersfield and even though it got tough for Huddersfield, it was equally tough for Cardiff to go after that goal. So a win that got away from the Bluebirds but at this point of this season a point was deserved.
MATCH RATING: 7/10
CARDIFF 0-2 NORWICH (CARABOA CUP 2ND ROUND)
MY THOUGHTS:
This was a match where Cardiff had a chance of going through the cup competition but unfortunatley the team and formation did not gel well together at this point of this season and so even though the Premier League side was struggling, it was the Championship side who brushes aside the Bluebirds to advance through the cup, which was disapointing but in a way this was a blessing in disguise. If you think about it we will not have tired players dueing this season so its a bonus in some way to have fully fit players heading into each weekend. It was a tad bit shame but it is not the FA CUP so it wasn't important.
MATCH RATING: 3/10
CARDIFF 2-3 ARSENAL
MY THOUGHTS:
This was a match where we could of had a victory at best and a draw at worse and because of this being a defeat it will go down as a potential winner considering that Petr Cech was terrible and so was the defence of the gunners. With this said I believe that we played better than Arsenal and because of the two top strikers for Arsenal, this was the difference in the match. So a phenomenal effort from us against our first match against a top 6 side and we got good goals from us in the process, so an epic effort from us.
MATCH RATING:10/10

Bournemouth 5/10 struggled
Newcastle I didn't see
Huddersfield 3/10 truly awful until the red card.
Arsenal 6/10 good effort.

Wow take off the bluebird tinted specs mate 
8/10 for the Newcastle game? 7/10 for Hudds?? We were playing against 10 men for half an hour and still drew in both those games. Your Arsenal review is all over the place as well, "a draw at worst"? A game we lost gets a perfect 10/10 performance?
