Re: FT CARDIFF 2 - 0 BRENTFORD. Match thread
2nd best for long periods, some terrible defending but also some heroic stuff. How Brentford came away without at least a point today I'll never know.Their finishing was awful.
Important but lucky 3 points
Re: FT CARDIFF 2 - 0 BRENTFORD. Match thread
:ayatollah::ayatollah: sometimes the scruffiest win is the most satisfying. Big result. Unbeaten home record in tact and still haven't lost 2 league games in a row. I haven't got a disco emoji but if I did. Countless teams done it to us over the years.
Re: FT CARDIFF 2 - 0 BRENTFORD. Match thread
I agree with the general sentiment on here - how Brentford failed to get anything from the game I don't know - though we should have had 2 in the first 10 minutes. How Bamba missed from 1 yard I don't understand either.
Good points from the game:
- apart from a couple of brain freezes which could have been avoided I thought Etheridge was excellent and kept us in the game.
- Great to see Bennett and Gunnarsson back
- We won and had some really good attacks and interpassing
- Ward was more effective than I've seen him before
- We're back up to 2 points per game average!
Less good points:
- Feeney was ineffectual today
- Fred didn't seem to be anywhere near the pace of the game when he came on
- We were too easily opened up and gave the ball away too easily
- We missed NM-L really badly
I hope we get some of our better players back soon, we're going to need them if we want to stay in touch

Agree. They were better. They won the midfield battle but they were so wasteful. That said, we always create good chances under Neil which is why he grabs us so many points.
Great, but lucky three points...

Under the cosh but 2 goals, a clean sheet and 3 points. Warnock is a wizard.

Chance handed to them by Etheridge pissing about at the back rather than clearing.
I thought Morrison was to blame for that.

It was Morrison's fault I think. That was one of a few backpasses he played a little short to Etheridge.
Re: FT CARDIFF 2 - 0 BRENTFORD. Match thread
Warnock on 'that' miss “I can’t blame anybody but the lad himself, I have no sympathy for him because I think he tried to be a little bit too clever and give somebody the eye rather than put it in and that’s what happens".

Yes, poorly weighted back pass. Didn't spot that at the game from where I was sat so a bit harsh to blame Etheridge.

Both to blame, plus whoever passed it back to Morrison, plus other players not moving to create options for the original passer.
Rubbish piece of football all round.
There were a few today.
Bamba slipping and then their striker allowing a committed Morrison to block his shot
Re: FT CARDIFF 2 - 0 BRENTFORD. Match thread
I tire of people picking out Etheridge's mistakes and not giving him credit for how good he is.In my view he has been a top signing.Once again yesterday he made some excellent saves and looks a confident keeper.We have a terrific defensive record and that to a great extent is down to him.

Spot on , he looked solid again yesterday , he should keep the shirt
Some of his kicking is a bit dodgy but that can be worked on
Three points !!

Correct. I try to distance myself from negativity. World's a bad enough place.

Morrison didn't need to take the touch did he?
