FT: Middlesbrough 2 - 1 Cardiff City. Matchday thread.

[Steve R]

2-1.

That's Kenwyne dropped for Saturday.

[Lawnmower]

2-1.

Come on City !

[Father Dougal]

The cup is all we have now. Hopefully slade will make a few changes so we have a chance of progressing though...

[Cardiff Ultra]

Slade might as well leave the game and go back to the transfer market.

He's going to flog Manga for 500k and replace him with Spencer Prior

[Lawnmower]

5 mins injury time. Come on let's complete ONE come back. Please !

[Daniel15]

5 minutes added on

[Lawnmower]

Keep it away from Ayala !

[Pug]

1 win 8, keep this up we will be relegated. Yes Slade needs to build his team, but I'm not sure Tan wad expecting it to be in Division 1. Make no mistake about it, this relegation form.

[Steve R]

Christ only knows where people get the impression from we're 'too good' to go down.

[Father Dougal]

This has felt like a relegation season all season to me- how we are so high in the table I have no idea. We should just avoid the drop as hopefully we can scrape 4 wins from last 19 games but it's going to be tough.....

[surge]

Pace and goals in the window and we'll be a different team.

[ninianboy1]

And to think that Pulis was willing to come to us just before we appointed Slade. Huge mistake by the board.

There must be some Wrexham players that can't get in their 1st team that he can snap up.

I suppose its because we have beaten Ipswich and Watford drew at Derby etc etc

Could well boil down to beating Milwall and Blackpool at home. Another 16 points for safety seems a huge ask at the moment.

Slade out ASAP

[Pug]

Pace and goals in the window and we'll be a different team.

We've bought our goal scorer, Revell. An honest hard working 1st division player coming to the end of his career.

[chepstow]

And to think that Pulis was willing to come to us just before we appointed Slade. Huge mistake by the board.

He said he had had a conversation with the club and the job wasnt for him

[Lawnmower]

Tough run of games.
Results will come if we keep our heads

[neilw65]

Tough run of games.

Fair play to you for your optimism, personally I can't see anything changing. I think we'll just avoid relegation, but the quality of football is dire. Wonder how many season tickets will be sold next season?

More like 'not good enough to stay up'.

We're a very poor side. We also look a complete mess all over the pitch. Different players, differing tactics, differing formations. If the season was starting now it would be 'who goes down with Cardiff'. I still think a lot of clubs don't like coming to the CCS, and we may pick up 4 wins. I think this is going to be desperately close though...

I don't know anyone claiming that. Slade is as bad as the hobbit. Our main hope for survival seems to be that we have an 11 point headstart on three teams and quite a few others beneath us. Club is a mess but hopefully we can get a new manager and squad for next season

Are you serious?

In real life not 'expert' pundits or this board. Anyone who has watched us this season or followed recent results can see that we are more than capable of relegation. Players too good on paper but the game is played on grass and there is a malaise at the club.
