Elruliri Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) I thought we really deserved that today. They had chances but so did we, the most important thing was we played as a team. We were as good off the ball as we were on it. A really well battling performance. Coyrs. Edited August 28, 2021 by Irilurle Spelling 1 Quote Link to comment

This is a result based on a found rather than a particular tactic or result that doesn't mean anything next week. The foundation might not return a win every week but it is a consistently good performance which I'm more happy about. Not new at all - we were all too consistent last season! 1 Quote Link to comment

True, I guess it all depends on your lens. if you take "games" we were consistent (ly bad). If you take a game we had minutes of quality and hours of poor performance. Quote Link to comment

He was operating with both hands and feet tied behind his back. We aren’t the finished article, a massive way off that, but we’ve competed in every game so far and that is a huge improvement. We were even winning games in embarrassing fashion last season let alone losing them. You can see the work that is going in to improve us as a team and the players as individuals. These lads deserve fans that get behind them not moan at them. Do that and we’ll get that home win monkey off our backs. Great win today.

YGBjammy Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I bet Nige is feeling very smug after that win with that team selection. Fair play to him, a win in Cardiff will get you a long way at city!! COYR Quote Link to comment

And you can bet your life he told every single one of them how ******* fantastic they`d played when they got back to the dressing room. NP feels the same pressure we do and to see the team you put out do exactly what you want them to and get the result they deserve must be very satisfying for a manager. 2 Quote Link to comment

Mr Popodopolous Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) Would have to watch it back if it's on the highlights or extended ones, was fairly sure in real time Morrison had a small body check on him but if it's a dive it's a dive. Not a fan of diving, Edited August 28, 2021 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment

Can blame Bentley all you want for not saving it originally but that lies with Kalas. Personally think it lies with Bentley for letting the weak shot/cross beat him at the near post..............but Hey! Who cares we won........Yaaaaaah!! Quote Link to comment
2015 Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Brilliant atmosphere, brilliant performance and brilliant win. Cardiff were dreadful Quote Link to comment
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Best performance of the season for me. This was a much more high intensity game than Reading, against a big physical side that we needed to stand up against. NP got it spot on with the team selection. Throughout we were faster to the ball than Cardiff and caused them some real problems running through the middle. In what was a tremendous team performance it seems churlish to pick anybody out but I thought Massengo, Pring and the front two of Martin and Weimann (with his two goals) were immense. Pring had the beating of his fullback while in the first half Han-Noah constantly hurried Curtis Nelson into errors. Not the biggest against the Cardiff giants Martin and Weimman used all their experience and nous to get the better of Flint and Morrison. James and King controlled the tempo, the back 4 were solid and Bentley did what was required. His own goal (against the run of play) was most unfortunate. A really good cameo from Semenyo, who replaced King, culminating in a superb assist for Weimann's classy second. Ref was decent I thought allowing proper challenges in a feisty derby. Great atmosphere and I look forward to tonight's highlights on Quest. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment

WessexPest Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 How satisfying was that? Not only putting that mucky mob to the sword but doing it with the best goal we have scored in yonks to boot. Great performance by players and fans alike. Interesting to see the Cardiff fans follow the advice of their advertising boards - Visit Vietnam, Visit Malaysia, Visit Philippines, visit anywhere except their stadium on a matchday. 1 4 Quote Link to comment
22A Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 OK, now the dust has settled. Would you prefer, City to have narrowly lost today, but beat Swansea last week to be unbeaten at home? Duuno 'bout you, but I actually enjoy winning at Cardiff, so I'll stick with the results that ctually happened. 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure how City fans got into the park as it had railings all along it. Police just about kept control but it was certainly volatile as a fair few Cardiff fans had hung around Quote Link to comment

I know they're the closest we have to a derby these days but there's more to it! I remember last season, they were pleading poverty in Jan 2021 (with Parachute Payments- and yes it was tough for everyone but PP can help)- then they sacked Harris, and signed Ng, Williams and Watters!! In a season where they added on loan Osei-Tutu, Benkovic and the small matter of Wilson and Ojo! Moore as well...Kieffer Moore, the Moore the merrier! Complained about a lack of support from Government for football quite loudly, in their Accounts and perhaps beyond while listing all they had taken advantage of. Complained about the distribution model in football in their support for PBP- acceptable stance, except when you consider that 2 x PL and 6 x Parachute Payments from 2013/14 to 2020/21 had seen them as a prime beneficiary!! Oh the whole Sala thing too. Disgrace their stance on that. Did they ever pay for him ? what was it . Once a bluebird blah blah blah . Oh until we have to stump up some cash , then we want a enquiry . ******* that lot 2 Quote Link to comment
