Blessing in Disguise?

[Mad Mick]

Don't like losing but we played well today. Unfortunate with injuries and had no luck in front of goal. We were excellent first half, but second half they had 9 and 10 men defending. Difficult to break down with tried and tested strikers, almost impossible with one not completely fit striker.
However we have another 7 days for strikers to get fit. We saw what a great player Brooks can be, and the players will be well up for it next Sunday. Sometimes if a team is doing well a loss brings them back to earth, even though that loss seems unfair. If I had to lose today or Sunday I would pick today every day of the week. Lets take it to the Pigs. COYRAWW.

Yeh I thought we played some beautiful passing football especially in midfield
Norwich sat back defending deep and we struggled to break them down but give them some credit they defended well.
Onwards and upwards.

I'm a lot happier after that 96th minute goal for Cardiff. They were on a run.

To quote Blackadder, if it's a blessing in disguise then it's a very good disguise.

Yeah, we played well, I thought.

Very similar to a lot of early season games last season I thought (with the big difference that we didn't go behind in those games). Lots of possession, lots of fluid passing football, & switching the ball from side to side. But very difficult creating clear-cut chances against sides resolved to defend in depth & with organization. They defended very well tbf.

Even when we lose these days, we lose in style.

Loving the journey. Next stop: The Sty.

Yes, I think I'll definitely buy into that theory. Good post and given me a good pick-me-up in time for Saturday night.
