FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 4 SWANSEA CITY. Match thread

[Eric the Half a Bee]

3-0 Cardiff

So close.

[Cardiff Ultra]

So so angry about that performance. Not teams done the double in more than 80 years and we give up the record with a disgraceful display like that.

The tactics were a ****ing joke. They only play one way, knock.the ball across the back for 90 minutes. How do we respond? Half arsed pressing in ones and twos letting them cut us to ribbons.

The one thing I don't think the players really get is how hard it is as a fan having to sit there and listen to those ***** crowing for 90 minutes and put up with their songs about that shit show for how many years now. ****ing disgraceful

[NYCBlue]

Weak as ****. No one looked like they cared.

[delmbox]

The away end has unfurled a banner that reads '110 years. 1 double. SCFC'

Actually that's not strictly true.

this is the flag they unfurled:

even in their finest moment

He gets it, the problem is that he only has one way of playing. If our wing backs are pegged back then we are in trouble.

Wing backs??
You seem to know your stuff from your posts but can't you see that our "wing backs" were pegged back because we played with five at the back. Not wing backs!

Inviting a team on against a side who likes to be on the ball was a catastrophic error of judgement by SM
Get into em, take man and ball wherever possible and get in their faces showing that you are up for the fight!

We are playing at home, albeit after losing away to them, but with a completely different team and mindset, and off the back of a top four run of games.
This Swansea team were a mere couple of points in front of us, and rightly so having checked their stats of 80 percent possession and one shot on target!
They had been given a roasting many times since we played them by teams who had obviously done their due diligence.

I honestly thought that come half time Morison would have something up his sleeve such was our abject performance.

Four goals to nil may well have been bearable had we had a go at the "south Wales Liverpool" but the manner in which we succumbed was beyond embarrassing.

We should all be in no doubt who is to blame and, besides a decent enough record since his tenure, he has a lot to learn.

110 years sounds better than 60 or so league games, which says more about the frequency of this derby than anything else.

This game has come to feel like one our players and club just don’t seem to value in the same way as them lot down west for the last 15 or so years since we started playing regularly again. In a perverse way I’m almost relieved (if that’s even the word) that mile stone has passed. One less historic factor riding on it from now on.

Glad I didn’t have to listen to the second half and was having a few jars at the pub with mates instead. The notifications coming through on the phone were a little easier to take with gallows humour. Lowest league finish in I don’t know how long, clean sweep against the wurzels and the jacks. What a crap ol’ season ‘ey! 😅

[Alfresco]

The most disgraceful performance in the clubs history. Morrison out and he can take that shower of shit with him.

Judging from your name your view isn't surprising

[Armitage Shanks]

Apparently we had 49 percent possession.
I thought we had a lot less. We were living of scrap's

We play with three at the back, the rest i completely agree with.

The least Derby like Derby ever.
Morison got it wrong from start to finish. Had he never seen them play before?
Joe Ralls 0/10 atrocious.

Ralls is always shit in derbies, gets too "up for it" and his game suffers. Doyle did the same today

In fact all the "we don't get it/not enough passion" stuff is farcical in my view. Only one team were putting in the crowd pleasing derby day tackles and it wasn't Swansea. They came with a plan and executed it well

Why not sing louder than them?

[Gofer Blue]

I suspect for Morison this was just another game rather than from the fans perspective THE game of the season. This attitude rubs off on the players, hence the 100% commitment isn't there. I've 40+ years of supporting City. Can you imagine a team with the likes of say Dwyer, Perry, Kavanagh or Chopra in it capitulating as this shower did today?

Fans would have you believe Dave Jones wasn't up for these games, yet Chopra said otherwise pre match today.

I guess he would say that indeed! Morison is a north London boy and spent practically all of his footballing career in England. Hence I suspect he has no concept of the importance of the Swansea derby.

Wheres the Swansea gaffer from?

Eddie May was a cockney, he would never have accepted that performance

[NYCBlue]

I'm so angry, I don't know what to say. I could say a number of stupid, reactionary things. I maybe care less about these derbies than I used to, but 0-4 at home? WTF?

[life on mars]

We were bloody awful .

[The Hooded Claw]

Maybe we should have played with 5 centrebacks, seeing as we “only” lost by 3-0 doing that! 😜
