I’ll be damned if we lose to Rotherham.
They are at best a ‘rag tag bobtail’ team.
They can’t even fill their bench.
They have many players out - but then so do we.
They have had no games for a couple of weeks due to their squad having Covid.
They can’t defend to save their lives and their keeper is a kid who has hardly played much.
Their only possible danger is their #10 striker Lapado - but then he is a journeyman who has never really made it. We will win !
Aaah ...... we will ? We will win ! Hmm.... surely - yes yes we will ... says my wife.
Question vs Rotherham : easily our strongest weapon is our set pieces. But with Morrison and Moore out- who are we going to deliver the ball to ??
It is a concern for me . What about you ?
But this is where Neil Harrison was wrong for months saying he had a big squad full of quality, saying it to keep Dalman happy has come to haunt him.
Anyway 3pts, nothing less

Neil Harris is now hailing this as one of his biggest games for Cardiff he is right as I was told today lose and he is def gone by Sunday.

NEIL HARRIS:
The Cardiff City board have had a meeting with me, but I would rather keep that private."
"Yes Vincent Tan the owner has also contacted me and once again I would rather keep that private."

I thought we said that about little Wycombe. I have absolutely no faith in Harris. We don't compete effectively in games like this and don't have the energy or guts to roll up our sleeves and win this ugly. Midweek we were second best to every ball and had a total lack of concentration in possession and when conceding goals. Yet another defeat coming up I am afraid.

Annis, genuine question, would you take a loss if it meant Harris was gone by Sunday?

Reading between the lines , he's one defeat from the sack . Which in itself is a lot of pressure .
No Morrison , no Tomlin and no Moore excuses (pardon the pun)
Fri Jan 01, 2021 5:52 pm
I thought we’d lose to Wycombe. There’s not much between the teams around us, and we look completely shot at the moment. We need Tomlin back fairly soon.

in an ideal world yes...in reality i think Harris has already put all his eggs in that basket too many times already... who knows how much he will play or how fit he will be when he eventually returns....?

If we don't match Rotherham for effort and commitment then it doesn't matter that we may have better players - we will lose the game.
Playing teams at the foot of the table has been our Achilles heel many times over recent seasons.
Whoever puts on the blue shirt tomorrow will have to be on it from the first minute to the very last and Harris will need to find a way to make that happen,

I didn't expect us to lose to Wycombe to be honest so wouldn't be surprised if we don't win this. Without Moore and morrison I can't see where our goals are going to come from.
My team:
Smithies
Bacuna, benkovic, Nelson, cunningham/bagan
Ralls, vaulks,
Ojo, wilson, hoilet
Glatzel

We should win ....I fancy 3-1 ....but after the way the players let the club down at Wycombe, I would be happy with 3 points whatever the score.
Surprised Harris is still here and he needs the win more than ever.
Interestingly, Aston Villa appointed Dean Smith when they were 15th in the championship and look where they are now....hope for us yet!

The players need to turn up tomorrow they owe it to the FANS no more EXCUSES

Rotherham one of 'those' teams who seem to 'turn up' on occasion, so we best be wary...
'Should win' does not always follow through (ref. Wycombe) and well need to play to our strengths rather than worry about what they may do to counteract us

If we lose today it will have been the players that showed him the door.Thats a problem in itself.
Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:13 pm
He knows it and his body language shows it, if we lose to Rotherham then he's toast.
He's like a cat that has used up his 9 lives and has no more goodwill left in the tank.
15th in the table at the start of 2021 says it all really.
They should cancel Isacc Vassell's contract at the same time, we were warned he was a crock of sh1t at the time we got him.
Bamba will be next to leave. It's ok to attempt to build a new team / squad of players - but we'd all like to know if there is ANY grown up thinking behind Harris's decisions - as there doesnt appear to be any. He's killed off what we had - and replaced it with nothing, the table doesnt lie.

not really...you cant have a manager who has completely lost the respect of the dressing room { im not saying its the case here } but if that were to happen the powers that be need to act immediately.
