We have only one weakness

Sun Sep 02, 2012 4:21 pm

I believe the only weakness now is Taylor on the left and its nothing major at all. If he can improve his fitness slightly and press more tightly we will be fine. He needs to get tighter and stop crosses coming in but thankfully today we weren't punished because our clearing in the box was top notch. Malky did 100% the right thing bringing on Cowie to double up and stop that happening down that side later on in the game.

I believe if we can get our left winger helping Taylor a bit more then we'll be fine. It wasn't terrible from Taylor, he did well but just a little improvement can be made in my honest opinion.

Everything else was great. Determination, counter attacking play, spreading play, ability to pass, Maynard dragging defenders out of position, Noone running at his man, Smith's work rate, McNaughton getting back and forward like he used too, couldn't ask for more.. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Top class performance today! Every player who started today deserves to be in the first team at Leeds on that and I don't care if Bellamy is back, he has to earn his place. :ayatollah:

Agree with everything in this. They all done us proud today and I am actually pleasantly surprised by how well Tommy Smith has done on the wing in Bellamy's absence. When Bellamy is resting his knee Tommy Smith is a top class replacement for him. Fairplay Malky has made some brilliant signings and we tore Wolves apart today going forward and played some good football by the sounds of it!

This could well be the year! :ayatollah:

Taylor was immense today!!??? Second half when Sako switched to the right, he was excellent. Stood his man up the entire time and made some brilliant tackles.

Of course though, even when times are great, Cardiff City fans have to hate someone
