BBM'S TIME HAS COME TO SPEAK OUT.

Sat Sep 12, 2026 1:31 pm

His time has come to make a statement,he has stated a couple of times he is been backed?

Well where are the new recruits?

If he fails to even get a a free signing in,he should stop saying he is been backed.

I know it's easier said than done to blame your employer but there are ways,
You can say your very dissapointed, we failed to bring what was required due to lack of funds maybe,
Or it's out of my control who we bring in .
Time has come to be honest with the fans who follow cardiff up and down the country with hope,

they need to be backed also not just the board. This cannot go on like this.

He won't say anything different to what he's said already.

Did BBM miss that plethora of chances? :?

The team did well today, our formation was unusually sound across the team, and everyone said we were the ‘better’ side

Far too easy to spread the hate after a loss like this, when it’s a time for reflection before we go for the ‘easy’ targets

It has been said before, and II say it again, patience not pressure is the key word; the squad will already know the pressure without adding to it after a decent performance

Can’t keep saying this after every game at some point the players have to step up and take their chances. Again comes back to no striker to rotate in but it’s not all on Salech

Totally with you, these keepers and 15 year olds we put on the bench is pathetic, let's have some honesty.

Have to agree with you But BBM has got to take the blame for the lack of recruits

Are we trying to rewrite history? This is BBM's team and tactics.

We don't look outclassed; we look inefficient up front, and we attack too aggressively, committing too much at times and getting caught.

The football world is watching BBM; is he half as good as some of us believe? Can he adapt? We know he can improve players. Its a long season and the clocks haven't even gone back

He has gone on record saying he wouldn't sign many players; every club loses players to those paying more.

The opportunities the wide players get is encouraging; they just are not good enough to exploit them.

We as fans have to be brave and support the team. The regime is not bothered by protests; they always look desperate when you are in the relegation zone!
If we are relegated, then we are relegated; we have lived through it once. We need to keep a manager for more than 2 seasons at least once.

BBM isn't going to say what you want. Whether it's the truth or not.

Salech best game so takes him off and puts Ashford on? Why not take Willock or Tanner off (wouldn't been missed) and leave Salech with Ashford upfront? Makes far more sense than what he did!

I agree, and BBM must be pulling his (alone) hair out at times; but what would we have him say publicly that won’t send the wrong or mixed messages to his squad?

Patience is not a virtue with some, but the positive signs are there, if we want to see them! :ayatollah:

Not enough quality finishing today thats what cost us but let's be honest he wasn't backed in the window with another striker to do that so we go with what we got. The manager will say nothing different to the media than his last few after match interviews he's done we should of won, chances and intensity talk and we go again.... It's like a repeat after match interview. Somebody is going to get a hiding at some point we just have no luck ATM.

Definitely enough looking at the forum for me today. People doing guesswork and probably getting it all wrong.

Speak out and lose his job, sure that's going to happen :lol:

Same tactics every game. Yes we needed a goal. Should have kept Salech on with someone with him.
Stats show we battered Sheff Utd. Stoke and today Bolton. Only stat that counts…. We can’t score so what are they doing in training?
Also yes Murphy needs to come clean and be honest with the fans as to why the squad has not been strengthened.
If he sticks with ‘he has been backed’ and hasn’t then that’s not acceptable to the fanbase.

Maybe he took Salech off because the fans have gone on and on about giving Robbo a go and he's being questioned about it in interviews. At least Salech is getting in good positions, one will go in eventually instead he's taken off and Robinson does his traffic cone impression for twenty minutes. Careful what you wish for

My opening post was not so much about tactics but this been backed by the board which we are clearly not,
we cannot even get a free transfer in due to lack of funds or the almost spitefulness towards fans from the Board, they would if they cared be trying to help bbm out not hinder him .
My beef is not with bbms style or tactics it's his insistence he is been backed for what reason I do not know, but it should be pretty clear to ALL fans he is not.
