FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 W.B.A. Match thread

Cardiff city fans - warnockball isn't working

Also Cardiff city fans - Let's play Paterson up top and hoof the ball to a guy who struggles to trap the ball under his foot

Let's just pump the ball long, gifting WBA a team with pace who can at a bit, the ball all game.

I watched the WBA v Stoke game on tv the other day. After Stoke when ahead early doors, WBA resorted to long balls for much of the second half.
Touch wood WBA are not the side they were a few weeks ago and if we can avoid conceding early we have half a chance.
Personally I think Warnockball, played with the intensity it used to be would succeed against them.

Let's be clear. I think most of us got frustrated with Warnockball. However, you're not going to get a massive change of approach with a Warnock-built group of players and continue to be competitive.

Tonight showed we can still mix it with the best teams in the division. We're showing more of a passing, patient game instead of aimless long ball. These things take time. If Paterson makes us successful at the moment, should we decline and say we're ditching results for aesthetics?

West Brom victims of their own stubbornness. They buggered about for ages prior to Tomlin’s goal, encroaching, being pushed back by the ref, encroaching again, ref gets the spray out, they even did it again, gave Tomlin loads of time to size things up, work his angles out etc. If they’d have retreated straight away would he have had the time to pick out where it was going? We’ll never know but they certainly allowed him to pick his spot at his leisure.
