A pleasure to watch us at Millwall, today was just durge

The difference is Millwall have worse possession stats than us, so they were happy for us to have all the time on the ball and pass it about, so we limited the usual hoofball tactics, which was refreshing to watch, even if we ended up relinquishing 3 points. Today, back to hoofball tactics, which looks clueless, when you are playing with average target men in Glatzel and Ward. It's clear that Warnock has run his course, love whats hes done for the club, but this season is going nowhere.
I can't see the point in having 4 months of this after Christmas,as the fans will get more and more frustrated with the manager and the club and it could turn toxic and that's the last thing, anyone should want to happen to Neil Warnock. The club has to re-set the strategy and ethos of the club, for God sake we haven't had a real goal scorer since Chops, surely a club of Cardiffs size can attract a decent goal scorer. It's obviously easier said than done getting the right man in charge, but Cardiff fans deserve better than just hoping for a team that plays attractive football and has relative success, that should be the least we expect. All we seem to expect, is that we have a club that we can follow, we are a big City, with a big club, we deserve more than this.

The club has had the same stature for the 50 odd years I have been supporting them. Apart from Malky and our current manager, none, out of the numerous managers I have seen here have taken us to the top. Even Scoular who I rate as the best in my lifetime, couldn't get us there with the likes of Toshack, Clarke, Murray, King etc. Like you say, it's easier said than done, and while we think we deserve better, there are many other teams thinking exactly the same. Never easy, but hopefully I will get to see us play in the PL again before my expiry date. ;)
