So some can’t see their is not a Problem???

Cardiff Started the Season with a 10 match unbeaten run in all competitions and with “ Eight Victories “ plus Beautiful football.


IN Cardiff’s last 11 games in all competitions Suddenly 6 Defeats and the majority of those games awful football except for say a couple of games and beaten by Struggling Teams.

Do we supply our main Striker Salech with the ball in the box enough??

Not once has the same team been played in two consecutive games?





Current form n league 2 / Div 3 not including other matches:

A settled 11 could be our problem, and imo a loan striker is getting cancelled out of the game, and with 2 wingers playing out right out on the touchlines, they need to be closer when one is in control the other winger needs to come right in or rubin needs to push right in with salech when a cross is coming in.

For me, the midfield has become the problem.
To see a struggling team like Blackpool overrun our midfield with little resistance a number of times on the break is worrying.
It certainly doesn't work with the combination used yesterday and the previous 2 Saturdays were not much better.
Yes, we looked good early season, but as the matches have progressed, we have become a mid table team that's still hanging on to a higher league position.
We desperately need a Graham Kavanagh type signing to organise the younger lads from the base of midfield.
I'd also consider this player as captain as I feel there is lack of leadership in the team.
But, will Tan give BBM the money for the 'quality' he needs in January?

We had riminota and ralls as leaders in midfield, but murphy wants kids only, our midfield has been our weak spot i agree and the lone striker.

Well when we got rid of our experience and replaced them will kids I just felt this would be our downfall. We need some of that experience and now it beginning to show.

Does BBM struggle with older more senior experience players?

Feel tactics play a big part of problems we have ... most of our game is based inside opponents half or final 3rd resulting in big gaps at back which several teams have taken advantage of with break away goals... .... theres simply no shape to our team especially in defence! And can we leave a player upfield for corners 11man defence is unnecessary ...
Side issue do we have a confidence issue for corners freekicks into area? Because we either play short and lose possession or the kicks dont pose much of a threat? Way it looks we dont have a coach in the area of dead ball situations when the whole of football is using the dead ball situation as primary weapon.
And a bit of experience would greatly help youngsters.

The defence is the problem. We are letting in goals all the time. You cannot expect to score 2 /3 every game. Need a settled back line and all defend.

Im still sticking to my pre season prediction of a lower, to mid table finish next
May,,, certainly if the squad is not significantly strengthened next January.

The early season hype has well and truly gone, and a long cold winter lies ahead. Im personally not encouraged (so are many others), by what's being said,,, and done in the City camp lately.

OUR WINGERS ARE NATURALLY CENTRAL PLAYERS NOT WINGERS!!!!!!!

We just need to stop the poor form in the league, once that is sorted which I believe can only be with a settled team, don't tell me these youngsters need rest ffs, they should be belting around like a shoplifter in Primark.

I think maybe a 5 at the back and keep some cover when pressing would solve it, thats how Blackpool caught us out and every other team will now try that option.

Up front no idea, Salech just seems lost at the moment and very slow to react to anything.

Still in top 4 though so we are still in with a very good shout

OUR WINGERS ARE NATURALLY CENTRAL PLAYERS NOT WINGERS!!!!!!!

Every time you write it, I'll be there agreeing. To me, the most obvious issue above the back 4 or midfield balance!!

The pessimists are out in force.

We haven’t got what I would call wingers outside possibly Tanner so why not go 3-5-2 ?? Kpakio as a wing back on right , began on left Salech and Robinson/ Davies/Ashford up top ???

Earlier in the season , BBM had it right BUT we now need to have a plan B to try to convert the chances we create

Salech is currently joint 2nd top scorer in the division.

A settled 11 could be our problem, and imo a loan striker is getting cancelled out of the game, and with 2 wingers playing out right out on the touchlines, they need to be closer when one is in control the other winger needs to come right in or rubin needs to push right in with salech when a cross is coming in.

Which players would you have kept?

I think keeping Ralls would have been an idea.

Both on high wages and one injury prone. Yes, Ralls would have helped yesterday but he’s not fit enough to be a long term answer (imo)

Murphy cannot decide what his starting 11 should be

Correct me if I'm wrong Monty but what he means is when the ball is with the left winger, the right winger needs to get in the box instead of hugging the touchline and vice versa.

It's hard to keep up when it doesn't make much sense. What do you mean by "a loan striker is getting cancelled out of the game"? What loan striker? What game?

Didn't even notice who wrote it.

Although I don't agree with Monty, to be fair to him I think he means a "lone" striker - so a striker playing up front on their own and not a striker on loan.
