    Re: Max Watters

    I wonder why he was only on the bench against Leeds.
  2. Negative ...Possession from Smithies kicks. Positive....strike rates

    From the last few games I've been looking at what happens to goal kicks, punts and free kicks from Smithies. Against the Jacks only 4 kicks from the 20 I noted did we gain meaningful possession (two...

    Re: 4 Welsh players in team

    Of course you are correct with Peter King. Leighton Phillips would have come along a little later than the others I mentioned.

    4 Welsh players in team

    When was the last time 4 Welsh players started a league game for Cardiff? I'm struggling to remember and have followed City since the late 60s. Today Moore, Vaulkes, Harris and Wilson... so 3...

    Re: Strikers from the Academy

    I remember John Parsons. He played few 15 games for us (68-73) and scored 6 goals at a time when we were mainly old Division 1 (championship now). It was over a period of several years when we really...

    Re: Strikers from the Academy

    OK and I'll accept Blake and Earnie but it still seems a poor show. Nathan joined us 30 years ago and Earnie 23 years ago. Maybe I exaggerated a little by saying nothing since Toshack but you have to...

    Re: Strikers from the Academy

    So having read the replies to my OP it seems that Simon Haworth is the only one I hadn't thought of. Earnie and a few others didn't really come up through an academy or equivalent. With respect...

    Strikers from the Academy

    Over the years I can think of several full backs and midfielders that have come from our academy and been reasonably or very successful. I can think of hardly any goalkeepers, wingers or strikers...
  9. Re: anyone done Hill 62 / Sanctuary wood in Ypres

    Yes worth doing. The museum in Ypres is very impressive and relatively new. Hill 62 though is chillingly bleak and gives you a real taste. Just the piles of old boots etc says something. It all moved...

    Wow this I did not expect. Police investigate football agent over threats to kill...

    Re: Just got back.....

    Have to agree with Bobby Dandruff above. Apart from the score I enjoyed the game and thought much of our approach play was excellent and a refreshing change. It was almost the opposite of the Palace...
  12. Re: FT: LEICESTER CITY 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

    So Man City lose to Leicester and Palace in successive games and conceded 5 goals. We didn't concede one and bagged 4 points away from home. We are the greatest team in football!!!!!! based on that...
  13. Have we got the laziest players in the division.

    This really surprised me and thought our players would be running far...

    Re: Streams?

  15. Only once before in 2018 have Cardiff done this.

    I know it's not the be all and end all but today was a surprise in terms of possession. In 2018 even Sunderland and Burton had more possession than us when playing us at the CCS. Only once before in...
  16. Re: My journey with Cardiff City as a non-local fan

    Nice account... good luck for the future. It's just as tough following the City from afar as I know well.
  17. Re: Warnock liked by neutrals and goodwill for CCFC!!

    Just looked again. I reckon the abusive ones are Cardiff fans trying to keep the status quo! We don't want to be popular
  18. Re: Warnock liked by neutrals and goodwill for CCFC!!

    Thanks for that! I must admit that before he became manager here I had mixed feelings. He has such a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Mr Congeniality when being interviewed and always has something good...
  19. Warnock liked by neutrals and goodwill for CCFC!!

    Where did we go wrong? This is not the City I have always followed. Today's Guardian has an article on Warnock. Not a great deal new in it but I thought I'd look at the hatred in the comments below...

    Curse of the Full Backs

    So we have Peltier, Richards, Patterson, Bennett and Traore all out injured. With Morrison probably out as well now we are getting ridiculously short at the back. Do we have any fit full backs in the...
  21. Possible best run I can remember in many years

    Last 7 league games. Won five and drawn 2. Scored 13 and conceded just 2. That is something Malky's team didn't get close to from memory..... and going back to Scoular's days I can't remember a run...
