Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock:

It's difficult, we've had good opportunities and we feel let down by one or two decisions which have gone against us but that's typical when your luck is out.

"I said at half-time we need to put on a performance, we can't just feel sorry for ourselves, and we did. I thought in the second half we were a lot better.

"We've had loads of opportunities to get wins away from home, you can't concede four goals away from home and expect anything out of it so we need to look at it."

You also cant just try and defend all game hoping to hit them on a counter attack and steal a 1-0 win.
We are to east to set up against when we are away and its showing.

We have the players to take games to teams away like we do at home , use them !

We’ve conceded 14 in 5 away matches .... that’s way too many !
Incidentally that is just 2 less than the total number of goals conceded in all our away fixtures of 2017/18 season :shock:

Forgot Derby away so that’s 15 conceded :banghead:

We are just not good enough and that starts with Warnock and his staff

Re: Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock:

Let's attack from the start

Not wait until we concede

Against United pressure off we were superb


Need to be attack minded

Re: Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock:

Hes right about opportunities we had 3 good opportunities inside 1st 15 minutes to get on target but blazed over when not under pressure plus several more during game! What is costing us is persistently giving strikers oceans of room all 4 today the players had no challenge while scoring.... this season games have followed similar patterns could should have won 3 more but could also have dropped points aswell! As for today they were very good streets ahead of Fulham when we played them, but we actually matched them stats wise which is a positive considering I think they will go up.

He cant moan about money spent on teams.
The team he picked today cost around £45million to put together, and nearly all were bought by Warnock

I've had enough of the excuses. Sir Neil already prepared for the international shit.

Defensively minded side not good enough to keep clean sheets.

Set pieces, including throw ins and corners too predictable and not good enough.

Attacking options not utilised and big German not good enough in the air for lone role.

Wide men, all of them, lacking quality and delivery. Says a lot that none of them given responsibility for any central set pieces.

No match for pace and power of top sides.

Quality left not replaced

Simply cannot expect not to concede when content to have ball so much less less than opposition.

The pretence that game won and lost in penalty areas is all well and good but increasingly not the case.

Do u23s, 18s and academy play Warnockball? If they don't there is no point to any development sides.

Mid table all well and good but catalogue of poor signings and lack of future planning is not good enough.

Apparently we can't compete with small clubs with PL longevity or small clubs without.

Only club bigger than us in championship is Leeds but we are miles behind loads despite big spending.

Warnockball has been very successful, especially for us. We have a majority of a fan base who will not demand 20 passes in our own half, so it is a fit.

What doesn't fit is we have square pegs in round holes. Zohore is well over six foot, built like a cruiser weight boxer but wanted the ball to feet. Glatzel is even taller but bean pole weak, but we persist whacking it down the middle. Don't care what Neil saw, he was mullered by two bang average QPR centre halfs.

Forget the cost of Madine, he was bought to be the brute up top, but that never worked either.

We need variation. Pack should be able to receive the ball and play like Whitts used to, but every restart is the same !!! Whack it down the middle to a forward who isn't particularly good at holding onto the ball, so we give better footballing team the ball again and again and again...... Eventually they will score.

We scored from a set play on Wednesday because we mixed up the corner routine with a short pass, roll the bloody ball to a midfielder occasionally.

WBA were so far ahead of us in terms of skill, pace, quality and simple football ability.

City just cannot cope with pacy and skilful midfielders.

Why is Paterson playing? He couldn’t trap a bag of cement.

How many times did City give the ball away and why do the opposition always have so much space on the ball whereas City players are always closed down.

And don’t get me on the woeful shooting. High wide and ugly whereas WBA were so clinical.

Just what’s going on in training?

Mid table at best.

A new manager and modern football next season can’t come quick enough.

West Brom are the best team in the Division this year and should go up as Champions.

There is very little difference in the next 15 teams in the League, including us. Those teams are no better or worse than us, so there is no need to be so depressingly negative.

Some people on here obviously have such miserable lives that they have to try to make everybody else miserable too :old:

I agree. Apart from the fact that most of our supporters would appreciate watching a succession a passes in the opposition half. We can't, don't, pass successfully in either half.

Sir Neil and the transfer committee bring these strikers in for not small money but our style gives them next to service. They get fed up of chasing lost causes and who can blame them. When a chance comes their way they are so shocked they don't know what to. Niase v Man City comes to mind. And there's another striker club thought was answer but simply didn't deliver.

Glatzel looks like he might have a good touch not dissimilar to Zahore but he really doesn't look like a lone striker.

Its absolutely time to think two strikers particularly at home. And not with Paterson being one of them.

3 goals for wba where from outside the box, are the defenders to blame or the keeper.

The keeper was man of the match

I would say it was the midfield letting players run in behind them that was the problem leaving our defence exposed
