bexhill reds Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Can’t say, I’m sure I walked away from BS3 in my youth thinking that was a shot as you can get, but those days were tempered by getting into town and getting straight on it. Certainly today’s was as abject as anything else this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take your word for it that today was worse, but that 6-0 stays in my mind as a moment where I had never felt we had been so poor on the field.

italian dave Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Actually, my recollection of that Cardfff game is that we weren't as bad as the scoreline suggests. It was just one of those days when everything they did went right. And of course that much worse cos it was Cardiff. Not like the Watford game where we deserved it.

I completely agree, like you that game sticks in my mind. in part because it's not often you see your team lose 6-0 (though I can count at least 4 times now since I've been watching? Wolves, Ipswich, Cardiff, Watford) Watch the highlights again if you dare: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kydyRktil6I&ab_channel=CardiffCityFC Gerken and Fontaine fell apart, but even at 6-0 we had decent chances and 2 great saves from the keeper. Compare that to Watford, Reading or today. Worlds apart in terms of effort and intent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, just watched the highlights I just posted.It's 6-0 and it's Cardiff so it has more importance but in terms of worst performances, I can count at least 5 worse this season. I can count 3 in the last 8 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 The 0-4 to Leicester at home in McInnes`s last(?) game was the absolute worst I`ve ever seen. If they hadn`t taken their foot off it could have been ten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Northampton 7 City 1 Yet in a strange way, I did not leave the ground feeling angry or upset because the kids had run their guts out for Terry Cooper. The whole team cost a couple of quid and their wages were at seven year old pocket money rate. This current City lot, every single person from Ashton to 18 year old first year pro getting wages per week that have at least four noughts after a number (£5,000 - £25,000). My salary when I retired fifteen years ago was £33,000 for a whole year and I was doing very well with that. And I worked hard for it. I didn't just turn up and go through the motions. Watching the City now is heartbreaking to all the supporters who have backed them with cash and their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Wolves game, unless you mean the 1-6 home match. Scorlines aren't the simple gauge of a performance most think they are. In the Cardiff game we were excellent in the first 10 minutes. We created chance after chance. Yes, we were battered, but we created chances. Yes, we fell apart, but there were a few positives in the game. There is no way in that Cardiff game, for example, the most consecutive passes we made were just 4 or 5. I firmly stand by what I say.

Clearly not just down to Holden but 1 shot on goal. Its pathetic. Formation, tactics, personnel all wrong. 2 England coaches involved. What a joke. We have quite a big backroom staff.... they must all be close to the sack. Don't look interested, motivated at all. But that comes from a lack of direction from those leading them. Worryingly we have seen this all before in our descent to League One. Lansdown has to personally intervene now, pick up the phone and go to one of the those names (Pearson, Howe). Are you interested, what are your terms.... see you Monday..... If we dont, we will be relegated if this form is allowed to continue. The whole club needs a kick up the arse. The DNA created by Mr Ashton is very close to being made extinct. You shouldn’t raise everybody’s hoped and expectations like that. We get enough false dawns being born into BCFC as it is.

Southport Red Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 If in our last three league games, the opposition had played with ten men and not bothered playing a goalkeeper, we would have lost 6-1 lost 2-1 and drawn 1-1 a theoretical 1 point from 9 if the opposition had no goalkeeper. Not exactly Keegan’s Newcastle is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 On a technical level that has to be one of the worst displays. They can't even do the basics of their job. In any other profession you would be sacked for being unable to perform the basics of what your paid to do. Yet they can go away with the thousands they have earned for that week. While us suckers are paying £10 to witness it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 That 6-0 home defeat against Cardiff was horrendous for a whole host of reasons but I've definitely seen us play worse. One that springs to mind for me is a 5-1 loss at Blackpool in 2002, when we were going for a play-off place but completely bottled it and got blown away by a team in the bottom half. It was 5-0 inside about 49 minutes. That was the very worst of us under Danny Wilson, when we frequently failed to show up in the big games.
