MY VIEW: FULHAM V CARDIFF CITY
Posted: Wed Oct 20, 2021 8:46 pm
A game few will have given us a real chance in turned out to be one of our better performances after the underfire Mick McCarthy made sweeping changes that included leaving out skipper Sean Morrison
A bright start saw both teams attack and either side coming close to the lead in a frenetic first half
Fulham initially appeared a little shell-shocked by the upbeat Bluebirds and took time to settle
HALF-TIME SCORE: FULHAM 0 - 0 CARDIFF CITY
The second half started well but City did, uhm a City and some slack defending allowed Fulham the opening goal
City huffed and puffed but started to look a little jaded fir a whike and soon enough the marauding Mitrovic made it 2 - 0
At least he didn't do the 'Swim Away'
Still chances at bothbends but Fulham looked pretty comfortable to me and held out for the 3 points
FINAL SCORE: FULHAM 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY
So where does this leave us...?
For me, the improved performance only papered over a few cracks and the main issues remain, i.e. lack of confidence and quality in front of (or anywhere near) goal and a defence who switch off at crucial moments
Mick McCarthy's fault? Maybe, maybe not; but he is the man in charge and he has now taken City on a run few woukd have predicted and must take responsibility
The next few days are apparently going to be telling and the home game versus Neil Warnock's Boro is (or me) going to beva game too far...
