FT: SUNDERLAND 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Can't help but smile looking at that league table 😊

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

We did alright, tried to play, we weren't just lumping balls forward, we kept our shape really well in the defensive area, Sunderland lacked that little bit of quality, and they're a bit soft, like plenty of championship sides. Hopefully that's something we can capitalise on. We earned that win.

I think 3 dogs and taking your chances together with solid defending is always a punt at games like Sunderland

It's beautiful isn't it!

Would Rambo have shone today ?

I am not sure that he would

A good rest and 3 points and confidence for the side without him

Fine result

A real gritty performance, everyone worked their socks off

Ng had the hardest job with Clarke and I thought he was class.

I’m starting to prefer Etete to Ugbo.

Apart from one incident, I thought Tanner was superb, especially defensively.

Yes, we were lucky and I think Sunderland are top six, or possibly top two material, but we were so good today. Southampton we’re massacred by them in their last home game and yet we defended so well.

Utter rubbish. The one player in our midfield today who can run and pass the ball at the same time and gives 100% every game.

Wintle is absolutely shite, should never be selected for the first team again. DOGSHIT player.

Both are wrong. Wintle is fine. He’s not awful and he’s not fantastic.

However he’s been a part of the last 3 wins so deserves to be let off somewhat.

Utter rubbish. The one player in our midfield today who can run and pass the ball at the same time and gives 100% every game.

He's a bit ungainly when he runs but he did not stop running today. He took the captain's armband, assisted the winner, and his teammates made a big fuss of him on the pitch after the final whistle.

Given that Siopis is still bedding-in to the team I'm sure there will be fewer stray passes in midfield as the season progresses and our midfielders become more familiar with each other's game


Ng and Wintle played hundreds of games together at Crewe Alexandra and I noticed today how good their understanding of each other's movement and position is.

This team is going to get better.

This would be a robbery of the HIGHEST order.

Seen enough of them against us over the years

I reckon it was more than that. We didn't stop trying to play, we didn't get everyone behind the ball and just hope to get something out of the game. We brought on two attack minded players as well, didn't decide to flood midfield.

[ToTaL ITK]

they weren't very good (Efficient) in front of goal. looks like we stuck to a plan and it worked.

[llan bluebird]

Wintle is a fine player but in the more advanced role, he looked a bit of a passenger compared to Siopis and Ralls all action roles. I guess he didn't pick the team, positions, or roles and was following the manager's instructions and stayed on and we won

I think we lost our composure under pressure and as a result they just kept being given the ball back, Ramsey might have calmed the rest of them down a bit.

best start of the season since 2017/18

Cardiff City pull off an impressive win at Sunderland that takes Erol Bulut's side up to seventh.

It's their best start to a season since 2017/18 under Neil Warnock, when they went on to be promoted. ������#BlueBirds pic.twitter.com/xE8lAQH8EG

Have enjoyed our more attack minded start, mostly when we have won of course.

But every now and then a proper shithouse away win is beautiful. Particularly when you then see all the Sunderland tears.

[Maurice Swan]

Plaudits to Alnwick also....he made some good saves and commands his area......gives confidence to the defence...as opposed to last year....

Man of the match, Shirley.

[Maurice Swan]

Just watched Isaak'sgoal (no.8) v Sheff Utd...THAT is what Tanner needs to look at how to finish....


of interest...Newcastle the first team t have eight different scorers in a match....

[bluemoon]

wow didnt expect anything from that today, good battle, they pass it well, big crowd and all

dont know how tanner missed that lol

but onward and upward

[Don Corleone]

I thought the back 4 and keeper were immense. We could have retained the ball much better but certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort from all the players and subs, thought they all put a real shift in.
