TWO OWN GOALS BY COVENTRY’S KITCHEN & UNBELIEVABLE AWAY VICTORY FOR CARDIFF AGAINST ALL ODDS.


City totally improved from their previous two games , what a contrast.

Unbelievable change.



Cardiff were 6/1 to beat Coventry


Cardiff had lost their last 2 games , Coventry had win their last 4 games


Cardiff had actually looked OK going forward. But the accuracy and decision-making in the final third had been nowhere near good enough and Grants Miss was unbelievable.






FIRST-HALF: Coventry had been the better side

24th min: Milan crossed into the area for Simmo to force home 1-0


29th min: What a great own goal by Kirchen 1-1

From then on it was end to end.







SECOND-HALF: Cardiff improved drastically and with hejd massive Coventry pressure.

Coventry started creating some good chances.


Karlan Grant missed a total virtually open goal in the 53rd min, wow.

Own goal again by Kitchen 68 - Bowler's cross bounces in off Kitching! City ahead! (1-2)


75th min: 76 - Wints replaces David Turnbull for the #Bluebirds.


84th min: Haji Wright had the ball in the net but the flag was up.


Cardiff had to with stand massive pressure.

We are the archetypal Championship team - we can beat anybody and lose to anybody!

After 2 lack lustre pitiful performances a hard fought win against a very good side

Rallsy MoM…big shout outs to Siopis, Goutas, Phillips, JC and Turnbell

i wont lie at the start i was like ok this is decent, then they scored i was fuming, they didnt give up kept going and got the rewards, thanks to a certain player

Just happy the players showed the effort today.
That’s all we ask for!

Keep it tight and who knows in the championship.

We match them in the beginning then gave the goal away. We did very well to get back in the game and it was deserved I felt.

The 2nd half Coventry struggled to break us down. I felt we could have capitalise on that but really didn't take advantage of it. Bowlers long shot was the best we could give until that 2nd og came along which to me was very fortunate for us. About time we had a bit of luck.

We did very well to hang on in the end. We battled hard in our defence and that is where the game was won. I would have like us to have that release up front but fortunately it was not needed. A very welcomed win on the road.

Bulet = Manager of the month for April!

Good result better performance deserved the win ... but why does bulut seem to have a poor grasp of substitutions? 80+ minutes and brings on rambo problem with this is he is not match fit so you are weakening the midfield at most crucial time in game..... and miete needed replacing at 60 mins was knackered and! this is not first time with questionable substitutions .

Why not just enjoy the win!?

A very good analogy there, Ian...

We're a strange side this year; winning and losing when we really shouldn't...

And to top a very good day, our country cousins lost to a very good QPR volley...!

I did and I said we deserved the win ? Was making a point about subs or is that not allowed??
Rambo made numerous errors in defensive areas plus booked as couldn't get into game which highlights my point

8 points from play offs aswell

Rambo needs game time to ease him back to fitness but I agree that this game time shouldn't really be at the end to a good Coventry side who are dangerous enough to punish us.

I thought the team looked good today going forward. Just a shame we seem to be hit and miss. A bit more consistency next season and we can push on

Fair enough mate. Nothing is ever perfect so sometimes I think the slight negatives are best ignored.

Most players have minutes in the U21's after such a long absence, he is miles off the pace

Crazy, crazy league
I didnt expect it
We made Sunderland look like Brazil the other day and they lost 5-1 at home to Blackburn
Madness
Bulut and the players have done an outstanding job to get to 56 points in all fairness
What we lack in creativity and quality (sometimes), You have to say the effort is there

Sometimes you need the luck to go with you, today we had the luck. Looking forward to my last home game of the season now on Saturday

Probably right about slight negatives and tbh it was only bit about this game that was negative...
.. no problem with who came on just the timing of them

Table:

Why can’t we play like that every week ?
I don’t get it
So desperate for a striker now it’s crazy
Great result and my youngest had Cardiff 2-1 to win 19/1 happy f*cking days
