View On The Game.

[Gentrified Canton]

First Half-We deserved our lead. You didn't really impose yourselves on the game in a way that i thought you would have. Bullied would be a strong word to use, but i think that there was a bit more desire from us during the first period.

Second Half-Cooper decided to up the tempo from your point of view, got you moving the ball quicker, pushed an extra man in and got the fullbacks 10 yards further up the pitch. Why it took him so long to work that one out is beyond me, but fair play to him, he has a 'Plan' and deviating from it so late in the game probably cost you a point-Thanks Coops..

We decided to sit in and not break the lines, completely gave up on possession, sat back and sent out a call for you to get in behind and break us down. I'm not particularly proud of that kind of football, but i think that if we had decided to open up more and leave space for you to play in, we would have lost the game as keeping the ball isn't our strength. You struggled to break our two banks defending the goal, your only option came from wide areas, and i can only remember you getting in behind on two or three occasions. The truth is that you didn't know how to split us or pull us out of position in order to create a pocket of space. Cooper continued to try and play through our backline and it failed.

You are a good football side, but i have to say that you look slow in build up, nothing like the Swansea sides that could create space and opportunity through moving the ball incredibly quickly, there was a lethargic element to your game.

As for us, yeah, we're a bit shit, defend, hit on the break, get the ball forward as quickly as possible, cause a bit of havoc in the penalty area. We do have some decent players, but under Mick it's going to be the order of the day, We don't usually defend like that for an entire half though.

To summarise, whatever anyone thinks of our style of play (I don't like it) we deserved to win that game yesterday, you had no answer to it, your players lacked a bit of character at times and your manager didn't react early enough in my opinion.

Good luck in the playoffs.

thanks for the non-gloat post. You deserved your win but yes you are shit and us not much better at the moment. Morrison in particualr was incredible, a true captains performance who probably saved you at least two goals. I think the bloke is vile, but that was a serious defensive performance. He seems to be the one who consisntely turns up for you in the derby.

On reflection, not particularly fussed on the loss as much as i thought i would be, you will obviously get your win every few years or so. Think you will push for the p/offs but fall short. Optimistic for next year?

Think Cardiff pulled off the kind of result on us that we have on others for most of the season. Out of the blocks quickly enough, nick a goal and then spend the rest of the game defending resolutely and wondering just how the f*ck we've come away with three points in the end.

No complaints.

Morrison is great for us, he'd head a 737 if it was low enough in the sky I can't work out why you think he's vile though, he hasn't really done that much to piss you lot off?

As for next season-Well, it is possible to play in the way we do and get to the playoffs. What isn't possible is establishing anything in the premier league, unless Mick can tweak things along the way. It's a big ask.

I like his Hair Who knows what will happen next season. No parachute payments. Moore may go, if he does then we will struggle to replace him. Wilson wont be with us.

Most Cardiff fans i know are decent people. The problem is that the blowhards and bullshitters have been given a platform in recent years, not so much now under uncle Vinny. They don't represent the vast majority, only their own ego's.

Difficult for him to get on the ball, although he does go missing in games and plays in quite a specialist way.

You guys defended stoutly and we were piss poor, good win.

Cheers Buddy. I couldn't believe what i was watching in the second half, lets be honest, it's no way to play. Swans teams of a few years back moved the ball so quickly, one touch, two touch etc. This team doesn't do that. Good football, but so slow in build up yesterday. That helped us.

Dont come on here looking for friends dickhead. You've had your win, well played n that, now just fck off , most of your fans are not decent as you say. Have witnessed more than enough to know that.

Most of the fans i know are decent, why wouldn't they be? There's really no need to be insulting.

Very good summary. Very good.

It was almost a mirror image of our win at Luton (and lots of others). Score, let us huff and puff, ride your luck a little and take the points. I never really believed we would score, even when we nearly did. So yes, as the Doc says, no complaint whatsoever.

Two poor teams that should be nowhere near the prem, but who knows, if we can both get wins the way we do, then it's possible. One win each...maybe we'll settle the issue at Wembley. Now wouldn't that be grand...
