Strange Game

Fri May 13, 2011 9:01 pm

I thought Bothroyd, Chopra, JET, Olofinjana, Whittingham and Burke all had shocking games and we still managed to come away with a draw. Fair play to the defence, they were outstanding :ayatollah: Koumas should have come on earlier. Burke off, JET switched to the right, Whittingham out to the left and Koumas in the middle. Roll on Tuesday :mrgreen:

Keinan and McNaughton :notworthy:

JET had a shocker! Should have been taken off early in the 2nd half, if not at half time!

JET delivered one of the most inept displays ive ever seen in a Cardiff shirt. Burke had a quiet game but at least he helped Quinn out, Darcy was exposed because JET rarely got back. Absolutely useless tonight!

Blake's passing was awful IMO and could of cost us. In general our passing was bad. Reading there for the taking tonight. Missed opportunity.

Where have I said JET had a good game? The forward 6 were all useless. Would have taken a draw before the game and with our full backing on Tuesday I'm confident we'll get the result :ayatollah:

Didn't say he had a good game, but you took Burke off when he was chasing back and trying his hardest to break the Reading Defence and would have kept JET on?

I was watching on a dodgy internet stream that kept cutting out but I thought we looked poor. According to the stats we had 50% possesion and pretty much equal on corners, shots etc but I honestly thought it was a really inept display from our midfield. Defense was good and attack didn't really have a chance as the midfield kept giving the ball away. Perhaps we did better when my stream was offline but we really need to step up for the return leg.

Misread that then sorry. With JET I feel he's capable of a bit of magic and a better defender than Burke. Don't get me wrong I rate Burke highly but tonight he was far too predictable going forward.

good result really, a below par game for us, but heres my little take on it, we give the ball away so cheaply, not once or twice. most of the game, when defending, its like park football. kick and hope, which entails the other team picking up the ball and attacking us again?
