redrebel Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 I have not been to a live game yet so impressions of how City have been playing have come from this forum.What a shock then to watch the rubbish served up by GJ today.How will the team set up with no target man ever perform.Dion Dublin summed it up when at half time he said that City were still playing as if Adebola was up front.But poor old Maynard and Haynes who would thrive feeding off of a good target man were having to try to win the ball in air.I can't see what is going on in GJ's mind at the moment.I have read about Hartley contrlloing games and spraying passes all over the place.But he looked slow and laboured with lack of any sharpness in passing or play.Clarkson was out of his depth.And the dissapointment to see Lee Johnson played ahead of Gavin Williams just proves once again that ability and the needs of the team are secondary in making sure Little Lee always plays in Dad's team. Well done to Dean Gherkin though he had a fantastic game.Finally I would say that Cardiff have made signings and look a better team we have made signings and look worse than last year and the year before that.How can that be.

Wondered how long it would take..... one loss guys come on. Cardiff were good and we were far below par. We can do better. Two back-to-back home games next lets show them we still believe in them at Carlisle and try get a big win for confidence against Boro. If we win the next two suddenly wel be fighting for automatics for some people on here. Don't get too carried away when you win and dont get so down when we lose.

Lack of Action Man Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Ok I wasn't there today but surely not everything has gone backwards. Normally I like to have a good moan when we lose but you have to say that Cardiff are that much better than last season and that they will be up there with the best come the business end of this season. The only things really you can say went backwards today were the tactics and possibly the passion. At least there was no repeat of last years "fumble" from Basso heartbreakingly denying us the three points. Gerken (judging by the ever increasing praise) seems to have had a good set of games so far. Lets pick ourselves up for the Carlisle game, get a good win under our belts and concentrate on tackling our next challenge - Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute tosh, you havn`t seen them before today, so it`s a bit unfair to judge them on this performance. Before all else Cardiff were quality today all over the park and if they can keep something like that form going they are dead certs for a top 6 finish. City had a bad day not helped by enforced changes to the squad and in turn the formation. Yes we were poor today but again exacerbated by how dominant Cardiff were. GJ has a few days now to get this out of the teams system, hopefully have the squad back to strength and get a result against Carlisle before the next big test next saturday. As for the little Lee comment........moronic. PDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easton boy Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 What a pleb!!! So on the basis of seeing 20% of our games this season (1/5) you make the sweeping statement that we have gone backwards. Having seen 60% of our games (3/5) I disagree. We are playing far better football (albeit not today) than at anytime last season, and quite frankly if we lose more games than we win with trying to play football the correct way - so effing be it!!!

Bris Red Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 So let me get this right, we have lost TWO first team performers in Adebola and Mcindoe (im not even going to include that fool SJ) and you think we have gone backwards? Yes we havnt replaced Mcindoe but we have made great strides in other positions. At that to the fact we have still kept Elliot i really think what your saying is a bit of a knee-Jerk reaction.

As for maynard and haynes thriving off of a target man i dont think this is true, they both need the ball to feet or on the deck infront of them as maynard showed with his last couple of goals, having a target man just encourages long balls from the back, so lets hope we have learnt and keep the ball on the floor as we have done in previous games!

bs3 Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Judging on todays preformance we haven't moved on fron last season. Too many long piontless balls forward, no width and the inability to keep the ball. But after seeing games against QPR and Palace I know we have the squad to have a decent season. We played awful today the playes should hold thier hands up. Carey needs to be brought back into the team he is a class player who can bring the ball out of defence and pass the ball unlike JM who looked like a leauge 1 player. I have been very impressed with Hartly and Elliot in midfield but bringing in LJ was a mistake it just didn't look a balance line up. I am disapointed today but I know we were well below par today and we can play a lot lot better. So its up to Gary now to sort the problems out. I have seen enough in previous matches to suggest we are not to far away to having good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy g Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 Most of us will agree it wasnt a great performance today. But, can't agree that the team has gone backwards. And I'm going to give some reasons why... (based on performances I've seen over the season so far) 1/ Haynes looks to be a better player than Sproule. 2/ Hartley looks to be a better player than Johnson (and that's coming from a Johnson fan) 3/ Nyatanga looks like he will improve our defence. 4/ Maynard is showing signs of finding his goal-scoring touch. 5/ Gary Johnson has stumbled upon a formation (5,3, 2) which suits our squad. I'm sure that once the original poster gets over the anger from todays defeat and goes to a few games, he'll realise we are in pretty good shape. It's going to be a tough ask to get promotion this season with Boro and Newcastle looking strong, but once again, we're in with a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
