Thread: Abysmal second half that. Worst 45 mins of the season v worst side we have played

    Abysmal second half that. Worst 45 mins of the season v worst side we have played

    Getting difficult to defend slade after that. Playing against a side tired, not interested in attacking at all, not even that interested in defending yet we offered nothing at all- in fact we should have lost which would have been ridiculous.

    The substitutions were an absolute mess as always and the second half was played out to complete silence. Several of the players are taking the piss out of the club at the moment and our squad still needs a big overhaul as there is a huge amount of deadwood still. Is slade the man to clear it?

    Stunning cameo from Macheda and Whitts sprayed it around (square) as if in his pomp.

    I meant they (other poor sides we have played) were at least up for it. Maybe it was because Forrest finished a game 48 hours ago- im not sure- bit for whatever reason Forrest simply were not up for that second half- they were just sat there waiting to be beaten. And but for a 92nd minute open goal miss they would have actually won.

    He was crap for that one game though, but then he had plenty of company tonight - a good first half in our new entertaining style, but then Slade got them in for his half time pep talk and we reverted to the boring old City of his first year in charge.

    Thought we were poorer in the second halves against Burnley, Sheff Wed and Brentford. At least we had most of the possesion in the 2nd half tonight. Forest parked the bus but we were slow and ponderous up front. Stunning save from Marshall at the death and we got lucky with the follow up that was blazed over.

    Tonight was unacceptable to me as they were just sat there letting us do whatever we wanted but we did not threaten at all. Rather we should have lost. I can't accept that as I don't agree they made things difficult for us at all. That's what I find unacceptable.

    It was a top save but the best save was De Vries denying Watt before the break. He may be a former Jack but that was goalkeeping at its best.

    Give the guy a break he has not played that much of late and this was probably one game too far at present.To say he has been found out is way over the top.The manager is the one found out One point in three games when we should have had nine.Add that to the fact that we let points slip when two goals up and You have to say sorry times up.

    Predictable again tonight. Play well and dominate for 45 mins, second half after around the now customary hour mark we take Jones off but continue to play as if he's still on the pitch. Every ball is sent out wide to Pilks, Fabio or Ameobi and then either a slow speculative lob in the general direction of the penalty area or fail to beat the first man. Slade is f*cking hopeless.

    1 point out of 9 against 3 shit sides over Christmas sums up Slade`s Cardiff City.

    You summed that up really well fair play.

    In all seriousness I would love to know what the game plan second half was. I genuinely have no idea- what you describe is the best I can come up with.

    Noone going off spelt the end of us scoring. How Slade can not start him every game is baffling.

    Think the city fans by me in Ninian stand talked crap all game.
    Not once did they encourage the team could have been away fans.
    My view is that we only drew because yet again we missed some fairly straightforward chances Pillkinton header and a Watt shot. Thought Noone was dreadful second half and deserved to be subbed.
    If Slades had just one player who could score the chances we create then we would be top six in a poor division. As for Forest they came for a point and got one god knows why they thought like that. If we keep hold of Manga it will be a blessing as he is a class above , I think he should be captain. We have to hold our hands up if we are honest and admit as fans we ( the fans that is )are not very good and should all be replaced in the January windows for some passionate ones,

    1 point in the last 3 games against 3 shit sides. When does the buck stop with the manager who is obviously out of his depth?

    Slade's most impressive games have been against Forest so more bad than good, or even equal parts of both, has to be worrying.

    Re: Abysmal second half that. Worst 45 mins of the season v worst side we have played

    Good question why? A lot sit in silence a lot moan about Jones, a lot moan about Slade, some sing. Not a lot show any real emotion or passion in supporting the team. If we had a fans champion ship we would be dead cert for the drop...
