Neil Harris: “ Swansea were better than us “

NEIL HARRIS:



Cardiff City manager Neil Harris said:

"It was blood and thunder at times. The game had everything.

"The woodwork was hit a couple of times, there was a melee in the middle of the pitch and an electric atmosphere. I really enjoyed it.

"We had to respond to our last league outing against QPR [Cardiff lost 6-1] and I'm really pleased with the clean sheet."



“It was an electric atmosphere, our fans were tremendous. I really enjoyed it.”

“ I knew we’d be at it from the first whistle. Training this week has been excellent.”

“ First half I’m really pleased. We lacked a little bit of composure. Second half we started slowly. Swansea were better than us for many periods, but once we got a foothold I thought we’d go and win the game. “

Don't agree, thought we had a decent amount of the play.

I dont agree with him either, he is doing our players a disservice saying that. I thought we played very well and they were certainly no better than us.
The draw was a correct result in a very even game

Disagree on both counts.

Swansea were no better than us and looked pretty shit. Yes they had spells of possession but a draw was Fair.

Secondly the atmosphere was shit. Especially from us. The Cardiff City I fell in love with is truly dead.

Agree with many of you - i thought they were lucky to get a point out of that...the post match atmosphere in the ground and the walk home felt like we were robbed

Don't be fooled by the false headline, read Harris' comments properly. Harris clearly says Swansea were better than us for PERIODS of the second half, not for the whole game. Harris then said he felt we could go on and win it, he was disappointed we only got a draw.

Personally, I thought we played some lovely football in the first half and were the better team. Second half, Swansea started stronger, but we quickly came back into it and it was a more even half overall. I got concerned with the amount of corners Swansea racked up in the second half, but we kept solid and organised and we still looked a threat ourselves. There were a lot of nearly moments with the ball not quite dropping for us or a Swansea defender just doing enough to stop us.

Overall, I thought we just shaded it and a 1-0 win to us wouldn't have been an unfair result, but I'm satisfied with how we played and I'm happy to settle for a draw. As long as they didn't do the double over us!

Would have taken a draw before kickoff but we should have won that. Dominated the first half and they were better in the second half but only created chances from our mistakes.

Nothing to choose between the teams today. A draw was a fair result and a reasonable way to bounce back from a 6-1 defeat.

Thought it was pretty even and a draw was a fair result. Although I don't want to pay £2.5 million for Kiffer Moore I couldn't help thinking he would have scored at least one if not two or all three of the three headed chances Glatzel and Patterson missed.Definately mid table obscurity for us now,probably Swansea too. Let's give it a real go in the cup.

Bit of a false headline that isn't it?

It is. Misleading and pointlessly negative.

Pointless negative headline ffss Cardiff were great today loves the fight and passion from the players, realistically we should of scored 2/3

NH. Job way too big for you

The reaction to today’s game is very mixed I thought it was a very poor game from two very poor teams. The atmosphere at times was good but mainly muted by both sets of fans.
But first the game. We had a good spell in the first half and that was that. I thought Glatzel had a very good game. Held the ball up well and shone despite zero service. And I would say a draw is all either team deserved.
The atmosphere and lack of is down to dire football and being on a Sunday with a 12 kick off. The scumsea fans as it was for us they would of been up early hours no drink meet at service station with police cameras on them like it was with us. All chucked in the away end with around a 45 minute wait at the bar to get served. So yeah the atmosphere is going to be shit.
At least give this game a 3 pm KO on a Saturday.
Glad we didn’t lose but I’m flat after that.

Thought they were pretty shit and if they play like that for the rest of season don’t see them winning many games. That Brewster was complete horseshit so hopefully he carries on playing like that for them.

No idea how Pack wasn’t subbed or why we took Glatzel of. Should have won it but oh well onwards and upwards

Don’t agree with Harris. I thought it was a cracking 1st Half by us one of the, if no, the best 1st half performance this season at home. Done all 92 so don’t go anymore as I’ve gone my bit, so can’t comment on away. 2nd half was back to our previous Millwall, Preston performances which was disappointing, even though we hit the bar. I thought the players were themselves more aggressive. Not sure then if 1st half should be credited to Harris or players? I’ll wait n see. But wasn’t it wonderful the removal of the Russian roulette of Which stand will our goal kicks go in. We didn’t lose possession probably 10 times because Etheridge didn’t play. Bit crass, but true and I like him. I’d prefer Harris goes in this window before Etheridge. Sorry guys, just my opinion, for some reason I just cannot take to Harris. Why is that? I look at him on the sideline and I just can’t get over how much his head looks like a giant HAMSTER, (could be GERBIL head I suppose) I don’t feel proud of myself. Point is I don’t feel like he’s MY clubs manager, I am trying so hard. I look at his record, one of the best etc etc but I just don’t get him. I feel like it was when Ferguson left united and moyles got in. They didn’t take to moyles. Please help me like the guy, tell me lovely stories about how his car broke down and caught the supporters coach to the game etc etc

Yes Neil and we were better than them for periods too

What is wrong with this bloke or has the op just copied the sensational bit and trimmed the headline ?

Totally misleading headline to this post by Annis, I'm not sure why he (Annis) put that negative slant on what Neil Harris didn't in fact say!

Yes, very misleading title

I heard Harris being interviewed after the game and he said nothing of the sort. In fact the opposite!
