Tense game with not many real quality chances created, draw

Defence a lot better :bluebird:

Tense game with not many real quality chances created, draw is probably fair result.


CARDIFF CITY 0 JACKS 0
Crowd 28,528

Including 2,000 Jacks




Personally I do not believe NEIL HARRIS is the right manager for Cardiff, Def No better than Warnock at his worst .

I agree with you and just do not understand why he was appointed after Warnock .Although I did think Warnock had to go

There was a problem with Warnock and the club at the end, but for me we actually got a worse manager than Warnock, in Neil Harris.

Agreed. Defence was fantastic. That was the first time Morrison and Nelson played together in the Championship and it could be a very good partnership.

On a side note, I thought Murphy was excellent when he came on. Not perfect and I thought Whyte did well but I feel like Murphy was having more of a go and showed his flair with some good crosses into the box. I think this attitude is important when he alongside Tomlin as both of those having a go at defences can really be something.

I enjoyed watching Bacuna and Pack having so much composure. They tend to leave a lot of space in midfield when defending but they had a game plan, they stuck to it and we kept a clean sheet so no complaints.

Bennett and Peltier were absolutely superb. Bennett had an incredible engine today and really gave it his all.

Feel sorry for Glatzel. He really did look like he put a shift in but was unlucky at times and I think this bad luck is eating away at his confidence. Hopefully he’ll play alongside Murphy and Tomlin soon and get some quality balls to him.

0-0 was a fair result although I wouldn't have moaned if Callum Paterson had netted that header. :ayatollah:

I'll take the positives out of the game. We looked far more solid at the back, Tomlin was every where and we some how had around 50% possession.

We also seemed to play some decent approach play although without an end product. Harris now knows his best XI (the ones on the field today) and should work with them to keep goals out and in at the other end.

Fair result as neither side good enough to win. Still no double, roll on next season, assuming both sides stay up :occasion5: .

I must agree with all you have stated. We definitely had a game plan today and the players followed the script well.

We need to address defending corners.... we broke a few times from wining the defending corner and every time had to stop as nobody else was up field.... the jacks defence were half way into our half..... yet when we had a corner we had a defender on halfway as they had players just outside the box. Harris has his work cut out, not once today we’re there any chants of Neil Harris Barmy Army from our support, he’s lost an awful lot of supporters

Cant help feeling he would have scored where Patterson hit bar but will never know :old:

This as been complaint for several seasons we never have a player halfway line defending corners and if do we don't have anyone outside area to link up ... same when we have corner most time nobody on edge area for ball coming out they are either in box or halfway line ...

It be good as well if we had someone who can take a dead ball today was awful yet again

Everything was better from Cardiff today, but Swansea had 2 or 3 chances when they just cut us open in the first half.

Seemed more Pack and Bacuna were AWOL.

As game went on we improved, shame about Glatzel though he could of had a goal today. looks short of confidence when hes in front of goal but worked hard.


My prob is still the lack of movement up front when we have the ball. alot of the time Tomlin or someone looks up and sees 1 blue short and 4 or 5 white

Midfield lacked something. Yet again I counted 8 blunders by Pack, while he's just about ok at this level we will never outclass teams.

Glatzel wouldn't have been in that position though, he makes Kenny Zohore look like Andy Carrol in the heading department.
