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

[Keith S30S]

About time one went our way though. Sometimes that's just the kickstart needed.

Hard to tell but I assumed the first player clipped his heels from behind.

 

[Millhouse]

Ekwah back to his best…or at least not shite.

Maybe he did just need a bit of time off.

 

[Arfa Sleep]

Probably the most stonewall pen I’ve ever seen

If you Googled 'what is a penalty?' I reckon they'd show that.

 

[Spartan]

Not a massive achievement. The reason they are above us is down to us not them. They’ve looked poor today.

They started well then the soft penna swung the game our way . Still 45 mins to go mind , we're not Fort Knox at the back

 

[Rambo Pumpkins]

Think there will be a few subs second half like, because aren't we playing again on Monday?

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Hard to tell but I assumed the first player clipped his heels from behind.

Not sure from the replay. But hand on the back and you're inviting the ref to give a soft decision.

 

[Billy Fish]

Midfield better for Jobe not being there, attack better for Jobe being there

 

[DH1]

Huge team talk needed here by the way, needs to send them out right. I wouldn't change a thing just yet, let it ride another 20

 

[MoneyballII]

Ekwah back to his best…or at least not shite.

Maybe he did just need a bit of time off.

He’s won a header and made a tackle.

He’s due a drugs test surely.

 

[billyboy]

Ba has had a really good game. Defended really well too.

 

[Walmo]

Here comes Tipple H

 

[look out piano]

Yup, we don't want players on a 9 lamb cake scale by Monday.......

 

[Boo]

Uh-oh. Ramsey's coming on.

 

[nessen]

Cardiff are shite.

But....

We are getting runners and passes into the box and creating chances and it's paying off.

Prefer Jobe up front as it stops him cluttering up midfield.

ITHICS

Rigg has been excellent as has Adil. Frustrated with Ba at times and his decision making but even he has been better. Styles having a better game than Hjelde has too.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Never seen a team as bad as Cardiff for not denying passes through the lines. Gaps are huge.

I’d like to think that’s due to the spaces we are picking up and the seemingly greater desire to play forward but that would be daft on one 45mins showing.

Neil and Ekwah have the run of the park.

Similar to Sheff Wed earlier in the season so far.

 

[hallix]

Cardiff making a few changes to close our midfield down.

 

[The Little General]

Not sure from the replay. But hand on the back and you're inviting the ref to give a soft decision.

From the angle the ref was looking, he definitely gave it for a shove in the back. Still a soft pen mind.

 

[Exapno Mapcase]

Uh-oh. Ramsey's coming on.

My thoughts exactly

 

[southstander]

He’s won a header and made a tackle.

He’s due a drugs test surely.

You missed his burst into the box as well.

 

[Gloucester]

Midfield better for Jobe not being there, attack better for Jobe being there

Absolutely
