*~*~* Cardiff v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[Fireball07]

How we played?

Very well to be fair.

 

[Hodgie1979]

Tin hat on, but Styles is a very tidy player.

Would be a good squad player imo nowt flash but steady...

 

[boomer]

Styles really is shit. Shows how bad our scouts must be tracking him for 3 years.

 

[SAFC_ABZ]

People getting carried away again…

We’re up against a team playing poorly.

That's the spirit

 

[admwil]

Cardiff are poor but we look much better with a more settled back four, midfield shape is solid and nice to see players getting around Jobe up top.

 

[Get Into Em]

Can't believe I've just enjoyed a half of football.

 

[Lagger]

That more than anything shows how pissed off fans are

Yep. I know a few who normally go to every game who haven’t bothered today.

 

[Drexl]

That's the spirit

We’ve played decent.

Some people are talking about the play offs ffs

 

[The Little General]

How we played?

Decent. Rigg class, Ekwah having a decent game and a special mention to O9 who covers 2 positions at the same time.

 

[Billy Batts]

Who can we replace Styles with...?

Alese when fit.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

We’re up against a team playing poorly.

Won 4 out of 5 before losing to Swansea last time out.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

How we played?

Impressive.

Can’t really think of a player that’s been awful. Ba has been a bit wasteful and Styles has been a bit rash (got a silly yellow), but nothing bad at all.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Ba has been canny so surprised at the grief he's getting..because he played the ball back to the defence on the brink of HT at 2-0 up? He's managed the game well

He's done alright, some of his decision making and passes have been poor but overall very handy.

 

[Keith S30S]

We’re up against a team playing poorly.

Cardiff were playing decent until we scored. We got confidence from the goal and took over.

 

[Fireball07]

He's looked alright on the ball, played a great one in to Adil who fluffed it. Probably a bit iffy at times defensively but he's also our 4th choice LB.

He's probably not as good defensively but Hjelde has killed our shape & balance at left-back (not his fault really, doesn't look comfortable there at all).

So you're sacrificing defensive solidity for a more fluid setup and I think it has paid off so far. Hopefully Aji can stay fit.

I said they’re playing poorly. As in today they are playing poorly.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Aaah, Bisto.

A team above us as well.

Tbf that means we were Scouting him for league 1

 

[McGregor]

We’re up against a team playing poorly.

Have you seen our performances lately?

We've controlled this game regardless of how poor Cardiff have been. We didn't register a single shot on target against QPR.

Let's not forget, Cardiff are above us in the league
