Cribbsred2 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 2 hours ago, Top Robin said: Yes it was poor, but even amongst the numerous negatives there are aways some positives, and they are: - We were not outplayed and looked fairly solid in midfield and defensively - We restricted them to a couple of chances (yes they scored from one) - They scored against the run of play - If we can improve things in the final third, we will be much better - we have some decent players waiting to come back who should really improve things. Lets address each point; - looked fairly solid but couldn't score and managed to concede. Things are looking hopeful . - They were very lucky to score. Struggling to count the amount of clear cut chances we had on one hand . - If we can improve things in the final third, we will be much better. less said the better about this point. - we have some decent players waiting to come back? Who are these players who will improve things in the final third you allude to in your third point. Absolutely cluesless! How you can vindicate the decisions of the board and management team is beyond me & sums up the direction this club is heading ⬇⬇⬇ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italian dave Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 2 hours ago, Silvio Dante said: Mate. Firstly, there is active the “counterpoints” thread which says the same with a lot of responses. Secondly, your positives are nonsense and coloured I’d say by the fact that you were a major NP critic Outside of that - good work “Top” Robin (nothing like being a legend in your own lunchtime is there) Without wishing to get into the pos and cons, I’m sure there’s much in what the OP says that can be challenged. But I think your first criticism seems a little unfair and one sided, on a day when the number of threads taking the opposite view, and all saying the same thing, indeed many of them having practically identical titles, fill at least a page of the forum!

Now have a serious look at the negatives. i.e your coaching, tactics, motivation skills and decision making.

Ivorguy Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 The only real positive, as I have said on an earlier occasion, is that we are nearer the end of Manning, Tinnion and, hopefully the Lansdowns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the saddest point of today, accepting that Cam won't be here next year. and fully understanding why he'd want to leave.

Is your head alright ? How can you take not being outplayed by an extremely poor and out of form Cardiff side on our own turf and turn that into a positive decent strikers to come back ?

semblar Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Apparently the twunk behind me today thought their goal was a positive - "that's what the game needed" Another positive, seeing as this was upper Lansdown - I managed to contain my instant urge to turn round and explain why a goal for the opposition is not good for the game from my perspective, most probably by launching him down the steps 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that but..the trajectory and the mood, it feels as if something has changed. It isn't one game. We'll see if the fans see it that way in the coming weeks and months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see if the fans see it that way in the coming weeks and months. This is an almost unique (or at least very rare) situation where a popular manager has been removed and replaced by a guy with no experience at all managing a team at this or an equivalent level. In that situation, results need to be at least as good as the previous manager. We performed well to get through one cup round, and we took a scalp of Southampton, aside from that it has been pretty poor results and undeniably a downturn on Pearson's results and performances despite having a stronger squad available to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyTonyTony Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 There are no positives from today. Let's be clear, we are a team playing poorly with a coach looking like a rabbit in the headlights. We are in deep shit, and the next few weeks will be very very difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Sorry we've seen this type of performance too many times from this side to take any positives. I have not been so depressed watching us in that 2nd half for years and that's saying something. Cardiff had more fight and resolve than our pathetic bunch today too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. I am a broken record but the Times match report for Cifuentes v Manning in November, QPR v us, made that very point albeit set against QPR too. It says a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slack Bladder Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 At the time I thought it was a positive that Manning didn't go running straight down the tunnel on the final whistle. But after hearing his post match interview, he probably thought the boo's were aimed at the players and not at him or the board. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
