Like all newly promoted clubs you'll be seen as the whipping boys by every other club but at least you have the vastly experienced Colin whose been there before and will know what'll be needed to survive. You lot have been saying you’re be bigger than us for years, a long way to go yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not aware of that kind of sentiment. Here in Bristol we don't have a serious rival so Cardiff being the closest club geographically gets the label. Add to that the fact that Colin has a substantial history with Bristol City and you can why there's no love lost between our two clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I don't think there's one City fan who would want to change places with you . From your dodgy managers to your fun loving colour changing Mr Tan , your skillful and entertaining style of play and your season of humiliation in the Prem that's going to repeat itself , not one genuine City fan would swap. So as they say ' size isn't everything ' , you are edging it in terms of seasons in the Prem but in every other way you are small , petty and lacking in class. Good luck to Bobby , perhaps he can show you the right way to do things . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tan is learning from his mistakes so he deserves some credit, yes you do have a decent chairman who loves the club BUT he still hasn’t taken you to the next level, no doubt you’ll be world beaters before Xmas then implode as usual after Mind you we’re not there to burst your bubble this time so you might even make play offs.

Premier Blue Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 You lot were creaming your pants about him last year. Shame you bottled it and imploded after December. Maybe if you had a decent manager you might even stuck around to have a go at the play offs. when Cardiff played the same type of defensive football and hit them on the break just like England did. But WARNOCK is anti football. But we can't all play the same tippy happy football like you and slide down the table faster than a firemans pole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Can see this turning into a nightmare for bobby...will no doubt be a starter first 10 games of season but can see him struggling as well as Cardiff they will be a striker in jan with bobby being relegated to bench and he will be back in championship this time next year...has Nicky Maynard to West Ham written all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalcub Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Who cares he refused to sign a new contract and jumped ship at the first opportunity ,too Cardiff of all places , years of good work undone in one stubborn decision .

Lord Northski Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Personally I think he’ll do pretty well and hope he does. He puts in an incredible amount of work on the field, he’s improved his game immeasurably and like most I’m happy for him and he leaves with my best wishes.

man in the middle Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I did put Tammy into my dream team last season as I genuinely thought he had a chance, but just can’t see it with Bobby. nothing against Cardiff but I’d be amazed if their not going down next season and can’t see Bobby getting many chances along the way.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Thing is, I think Reid has a better all-round game than Tammy at this stage. Not saying he wouldn't struggle but could easily see him scoring a few goals and a few assists- say he got 5 of each, that would not be a terrible return. I wish Cardiff no good fortune but will still be interesting to see how Reid fares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand Rafa keeping Newcastle up, and Brighton looked a decent team, so no surprise there. I would be gobsmacked if Warnock's style and antics keeps Cardiff in the league. I would say there is no chance whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I'm in the ambivalent group as it's Cardiff. Anywhere else and I would wish Bobby the best but I can't bring myself to wish him well there. Probably old fashioned I appreciate but I hope they crash and burn, badly. If he moved on after their relegation, I would hope he scores loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammy’s touch and finishing will have to improve big time if he’s going to score regularly at the top level. He has got the one thing you can’t really teach, though - world-class movement.

Tammy’s touch and finishing will have to improve big time if he’s going to score regularly at the top level. He has got the one thing you can’t really teach, though - world-class movement. I mean, he's only 20 Tammy- he's already done a decent amount for a player of his age, he can easily improve on these if he puts the work in at this stage of his career, whereas Reid is 25 and in the next couple of years will be approaching peak years (IMO). Reid has an advantage in this sense as we know because he was a converted midfielder- so had the technical ability and the workrate/ability to drop back that we saw, especially when he triggered the press with Paterson behind. Like 1 and a half players in some respects IMO. Tammy has brilliant movement though as you say and this will stand him in good stead moving forward. 13 minutes ago, hodge said: Swansea didn't play to Tammy's strengths, Cardiff seemingly will be using Bobby to his, it will be all about the team effort next year rather than how many Bobby can score. What are Tammy's strengths though and how did it mesh with Swansea? All good saying that, but Swansea are/were a side who played 4-3-3/5-4-1 in fact a variety of setups but in general were not a 2 striker team. Ayew can (and I stress at this stage of his career as opposed to any trajectory moving forward) play the lone striker role better. So he got the nod for the team more often. Tammy? He might be capable of it but the key word there is 'might'. I get the feeling that Tammy's strengths at that stage were in a 4-4-2, and this wasn't compatible to how Swansea wanted or needed to play.

Pretty much exactly says what I said, Tammy's biggest strength was put the ball into him anywhere near the penalty spot and he'd usually tuck it away, Swansea more relied on him for hold up play, the fact they played with 5 at the back really didn't help either as the full backs push on enough to help with attacking play. Cardiff will probably play a lot without the ball, Bobby's work rate off the ball will be a key factor in this for them next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lone striker in a 5-4-1 type setup has to do more- that's why Ayew was lone striker more often. In your view what's the best set-up for Tammy at this stage of his career? Agree on Reid and how he's likely to fit into Cardiff- though a radical departure from that could be their 4-3-3 but with a twist- Reid dropping off behind the wingers who would be pushed wider and higher- sort of a false 9 almost but in a counter-attacking context.

Not saying they don't have to do more, but was just a case of saying Swansea didn't/couldn't utilise his biggest strength which gave the idea he struggled at premier league level, put him in another team where he got delivery into the box around the spot and I think he'd come out of it a lot better. Cardiff could go 433, means they could go 451 off the ball and try to be harder to break down, Bobby's work rate would probably be alright up top alone to press.

Eastside Moonwalker Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I have heard that Cardiff are apparently signing Dzyuba from Zenit, that being said I didn't actually watch any of Cardiff's games last season other than the second half against Preston that was on in the pub so I'm not too sure what sort of formation they play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I saw a truly horrible sight this morning. I was parked next to Liskeard Athletic`s ground just as the Cardiff squad were training on it (they play them in a friendly tomorrow) and to see Bobby running around in their horrible blue...………………………………... I didn`t see fat boy though, have they moved him on? They do nice pasties in the clubhouse though so he may have been in there. I wish Bobby the best but to see him in that kit...………….!
