It's been a week of doom and gloom since last Saturday.
Let's hope the players still feel the pain of last week and use it to put in a performance today.
Come on The City!! :ayatollah:

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY. Match thread
I watched Birmingham play at Swansea earlier in the season and they were quite possibly the worst away team I've ever seen in the Championship. They had no desire and just sat back trying to contain. They got a pasting.
Fast forward 6 weeks and I'm watching us get a footballing lesson from that same Birmingham team. They've had numerous chances, scored one, hit the post and look like they can pick us apart at will. What has happened to our team?

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY. Match thread

If the board are not already searching for a manager, they need to get off the fence and get on with it.
Yes, leading 2-1 but have been outplayed for the majority of this half.
Very lucky to be in front. No real idea.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY. Match thread
Get in Nelson :biggrin::biggrin:

I agree for 30 minutes we never laid a glove on them and the game should be over. We then get a questionable penalty and it completely swings things and our anti football begins to dominate.
I hate watching us.

I don’t hate watching anti football or Warnockball so long as they results are there.
Is there any team in the championship actually that enjoyable to watch? Leeds and Brentford maybe? The passing teams are generally quite boring too.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v BIRMINGHAM CITY. Match thread
I don’t get our play at the moment. So rigid in formation with the ball to the point of being static and not keeping shape without it.
If we do win it’ll be a miracle

Birmingham for the first 30 minutes for a start.
If you enjoy watching us that's your prerogative but personally I'd rather watch paint dry.

Bogle or Patterson for ward if you ask me. He’s not holding the ball at all.
