FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN. Match thread

[dml1954]

One of the few occasions this season when you could say that. Bristol was another. For most of the season our subs have made things worse and in some cases lost us points. Probably a reflection on the previous weakness of our bench but also some awful tactics. Bit weird of Bulut to increase our attacking threat late in the game but he did.

Exactly what they wouldn't have been expecting and it worked.

I thought it was a dreadful game between two very poor teams. You could say that about all three of the wins.

That's the spirit!

That's the spirit!

Yes, let’s just stick our heads in the sand, ignore all context and pretend that we are suddenly brilliant.

Great!

It isn't a choice of 'very poor' or 'brilliant'.

Most people on this thread are describing a team/squad/manager somewhere in the middle.

That last 10 minutes was probably the first bit of excitement in 2024

I’m happy with the result, but we definitely have to up our game to get that elusive second goal.
The subs were right, probably a little bit late, we have two tough matches ahead and with us now being virtually guaranteed Championship football for next season let’s hope that we can play with a bit more confidence and freedom in the last ten games!

Having said that I would be happy with a draw on Saturday

[Bobby Dandruff]

The only bit of real quality I can recall in the first half is what lead to the goal, other than that it was dreadful. The play was so slow and ponderous 'Pass sideways, sideways, back to the keeper, hit it long' if Diédhiou did win the header, there was no one there to pick it up. I think Wilson-Esbrand has been a real good signing and he was always looking to get forward and make the overlap, but he was one of the few players to play with any urgency.

I'm happy with the wins, but I'm not deluded to ignore the fact we got three wins against three really poor teams by playing poorly.

Exactly.
