Cardiff City v. Sheffield United - 15/08/17

[Lawrence]

Cardiff just upped the tempo, like switching on a switch!

Could be on an hiding if we're not careful?

 

[LoughboroBlade]

It's a bit of a ridiculous effort from NML. We could have had a number of different permutations at the back and I'm not convinced we'd have defended that any better.

 

[WILLIAM H BONNEY]

Fan-fucking tastic, Barnsley game is huge now.

If they win they will come full of confidance and game will be difficult.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

These are not a great side at all. But they're making our back line look like a Sunday League team.

Absolutely all over the place, and all just from balls over the top.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

They'd better do something, because this has the makings of 5/6 nil at the moment.

 

[BiggerBladeThanThou]

We are physically weak all over. We've passed it well without any real penentration.l and we have no movement or creativity up top. Second best.

 

[JayGreen17]

If it stays like this, we need to take Jake Wright off before the end of the game.

Why it's bash that's had the run around... and who would you bring on?

 

[Whiston Blade]

I think those who said we would be fine this season may get a nasty shock unless we bring in some Championship quality.

 

[Yarrayering]

Real shame and was hoping for better but when we get a chance we really hav to score...like the opposition are. Dreading a long hard season of "the ref shud hav given us a pen"...and "that wasnt offside"...lets hope we settle down soon. COYRAWW

 

[RMBlade]

Said it last game he's got to go, he ain't no championship player. 2 massive mistakes in 2 games has cost us... can't fault his passion but he's top half league one quality.

I agree but I thought he played well vs Brentford to be fair.

 

[JayGreen17]

Reight save

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

They could seriously have had 4/5 this second half already, it's totally one sided.

 

[JayGreen17]

I agree but I thought he played well vs Brentford to be fair.

The whole team did.. first game at home we were always going to perform, he was poor in the Blackpool team that went down from this league...he isn't what we need and he won't be in the team in 10 games time in my view.

yep men against boys at the minute

 

[Bladesman]

Pay peanuts...

 

[JayGreen17]

I'll add to that Steven, if he doesn't improve quickly he'll be the next Hussey.

 

[robbiez666]

one way traffic at the moment. I was surprised by the substitution but we'll see.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

One thing is for sure, this will be a HUGE wake up call for Wilder. We need better players, 3/4 of them through the spine.

 

[Drunk blade]

Going to be a long season unless the board back the manager in the transfer market

 

[Woodwardfan]

I'm not there but was about to say the same. Certainly sounds like we've been sloppy in possession at times

Credit the opposition.

 

[Whiston Blade]

One thing is for sure, this will be a HUGE wake up call for Wilder. We need better players, 3/4 of them through the spine.

It's all well and good being a wake up call for Wilder, HRH and McCabe need to back him to improve. If they're saving some money for the JTW then I can see us spending not much at all between now and the window closing.

 

[coolasanidiot]

It's back to the painful listening. Everybody been saying no pace. Guess what they were right FFS.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Going down with this current side. No pace or creativity at this level at all.

 

[RMBlade]

The whole team did.. first game at home we were always going to perform, he was poor in the Blackpool team that went down from this league...he isn't what we need and he won't be in the team in 10 games time in my view.

I think there are a few in that catagory.

I think a lot of our defensive frailties also come from not having much help from midfield. As much as I rate fleck and Coutts they don't have the engine to get up and down all game. More so Coutts than fleck but they tend to just stay in 2nd 3rd. That was okay in league 1 because we were rarely attacked.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

One thing is for sure, this will be a HUGE wake up call for Wilder. We need better players, 3/4 of them through the spine.

Hardly a wake-up call for Wilder – he's actively trying to bring people in. Perhaps a wake-up call for the board if they aren't backing him enough...

 

[Bladesman]

If only we got points for taking the ball back into our own half.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

I think the 3-5-2- may be under serious review at this rate too.

 

[JayGreen17]

Evans once again looking dangerous

 

[Lawrence]

I admire CW with what he is trying to do on a budget, but even he must be thinking these are not good enough.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Having coutts and fleck in the middle is perfectly fine, if they had movement ahead of them. But everyone is just stood still awaiting for the ball.
