FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 1 THE NEW SAINTS. Match thread

[RichardM]

A lot of the applause for their goal was from City fans. On another day they would have shown their frustration at the players for not closing the goalscorer down.

Yes, my first reaction was frustration, but I did join the applause.

Agree with ToBW that this was a slight improvement on the Penybont game but man that second half was dire except for the goal.

I'd agree with that, particularly Colwill jnr. Rinomhota, Campbell and Tanner did OK.

Romeo & Watters were disappointing.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alnwick started the season 1st choice ahead of Allsop. He is better in the air.

I’d be very surprised if a new keeper isn’t brought in. Alnick should have been saving that yesterday.

Should have won 30-0 Clubs a joke ffs!

Joel Colwill and Eli King standout performers in the second half!

My main takeaway from that game was the performances of Joel and Eli.

King albeit against a tired TNS at that point looked comfortable in possession, picked a pass and was positionally aware on the majority of occasions to intercept passes or shield the ball out of play. Two centre back outings, strongly suggests that's where Cardiff see his future.

Bagan also had a good showing in the first half, would be good to see the likes of him, Rubin Colwill and Isaac Davies rekindle the form they showed in the second half of the 21/22 season. Would honestly feel like 3 new signings.
