FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 ROTHERHAM UNITED. Match thread

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Basically we have got to win these games

Rotherham are mid table

We need the points

I fear that this side simply havnt got any bollocks in them

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Rotherham are apparently a tough physical side. Previous City teams could have matched that, but I doubt that our current powder puff squad can. Perhaps an opportunity for Etete to start? I know he can’t head a ball, but at 6ft 5ins he may be able to put himself about a bit better than the other option, Harris.

If you tried to out battle us, we’d just steamroll you. We became unstuck when teams played football against us. Move the ball from side to side, at pace, and we’d get carved open. That’s what we have to do.

[Former Labour leader]

0–0 v Preston on Boxing Day under Harris?

I recall that being spectacularly shit

No, the 0-0 Rotherham under Slade. Terrible quality

[the other bob wilson]

No, the 0-0 Rotherham under Slade. Terrible quality

Two on target efforts by City, four by Rotherham - a classic compared to the other games mentioned

[Canton Kev]

No, the 0-0 Rotherham under Slade. Terrible quality

To be fair it’s hard trying to remember all the awful games. There’s been quite a few over the years

[Seabird]

....can they remember what it’s like to score?

That’s a shocking stat about October, which I had no nkling of whatsoever. Remember when Dave Jones sides used to suffer from Novemberitis?

Ojo needs to start delivering

[Maurice Swan]

What the hell is going on....Nkounkou in again....and OJO....just not good enough - cannot they see that??? We all can.
REALLY disappointed none of the under 23/21 names are there - same old same old not good enough. I was really encouraged when a number of youngsters were given the opportunity end of last season...we seem to be going backwards. What do they have to do to at least get on the bench .
Falling out of love......

And on another note... got any links to the game, Maurice?

...can't find one at the moment......just got in...

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

So he's watched Ojo and Nkounkou in the last few matches and thought "they're playing well, I'll pick them again".
3 defensive midfielders again too, but I can kind of understand that.

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Good to see Sang keep his place.

[D. Advocaat]

Take Nkounko out and we lose one of our limited attacking threats

[LA Bluebird]

Great start by Harris, offside looked closer on replay than it did at first glance

[NYCBlue]

No VAR, surely Ojo should get the benefit of the doubt there?

[goats]

Still got 11 players on?

[Rjk]

Still got 11 players on?

are we counting Ojo?

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Take Nkounko out and we lose one of our limited attacking threats

He does look more of a winger than a full back.

[BLUETIT]

14 minutes gone, corner to them, and we don’t put a man on the hall way line, to draw 2 of their players out
Fu cling useless

[poc]

first time this season i got live commentary on my smart speaker, has anything changed ,it normally says it cant be played because of rights issues

[LA Bluebird]

Ojo is an infuriating player, and Nkounkou is a bit of a liability again. Overall we are playing some really nice stuff, but there's no attacking threat making runs if it's not the initial through ball.
