Cardiff (H) - Sat 6th Feb 15:00 - Matchday thread

[pl00peh91]

Johnson was sacked after Cardiff at home last season. This performance has been considerably worse than that day. Could history repeat itself?

I can’t even be ar**ed to get angry. This is so inept to be funny.

How many chances are we creating for him?!

Every time, kick the ball, fall over complain... 

[Jeez]

Body language of coaches & players here says it all. No belief & out of ideas.

Not by me. Taking decisive, timely action when things are obviously not working is what any manager in any job should do.

Yeah - I certainly never criticised Johnson for doing it. As @Spud55says, it's obviously the admission of a mistake and there's a legitimate criticism that Johnson often hadn't got the tactics right at the start. But the willingness to try and fix his mistakes was one of the positives about him.

Dean Holden as City chief coach included.

Dreams are often surreal like that. 

It really has been a total shower.

[Red Exile]

This is so poor. Laughable. 

[DaveF]

We are so boring to watch...

He’s the toy collector who , at great cost ,collected this bunch of underperforming misfits 

[Lrrr]

Any chance of Bell or Pearson getting some minutes Dean? Clearly not working as it is now

We wish, but it won't happen. I will eat my hat if it does.

Why on earth was Vyner dropped for Lansbury today. Unbelievable. Great ball there. Been good since coming on. I can't work out that decision.

Id have Vyner instead of Kalas tbh

[Daniro]

have we strung more than three passes together at any point in this game?   There was that one threatening attack that we fluffed early in the second half,  , I suppose,    but other than that we lose it as soon as we get it.

[Wrongagain]

The football is shocking, the ref is inept, the commentary is so bad (and the opinions)

Is it really worth watching our club at the moment, would it be worth the trip to BS3 if allowed?

we need a big sweeping bundle of changes at the club, from the top down - and a clear out of the pretenders stealing a wage!

One shot on target at home again, the bloke needs to move on

I don’t think SL can get the P45 out while we’re still in the FA cup, so he’s safe for a few days.

[Mr Popodopolous]

Pretty poor ref- but not an excuse.

Seems less than consistent though- was Hunt not brought down on the edge of the box, possible penalty on Diedhiou earlier in the half- but then again Lansbury arguably got away with a 2nd yellow.

A shared nightmare like the kind the despair squid caused in Red Dwarf?

Yeah ok

there have been a few moments of ball retention centred around Palmer, more than could be said for Williams & Lansbury.

He gave it a go and it hadn't worked.

Best to get his experience as a manager in a lower league position.

Really out of his depth here and needs to go.

The longer he stays the more difficult it will be to put right the damage he has done.

Shame because he is genuinely a decent bloke. 

No lower league would have given him a job, let alone a Championship one. He must know that, but can't blame him for not looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Yeh. So he can treble the wage Bill again and play dire football? Brilliant. 

Shows how shit we must be if people would take Brent back. Desperate. 

[Lordofthebling]

Just let Flint score, put me out of my misery
