Who gives a rats arse about the past, its the here and now that matters.
I really don't understand why some of our fans try and score points against each other and cannot at least try and enjoy moments like these
No doubt people will pour more cold water by drawing on the stat that Blackpool had two thirds of possession.
The fact we did 'em sixteen shots to eight will matter not.
Disclaimer... I didn't see the game and didn't know the score til 6 o'clock but what a win...
P.S. Bravo Bacuna!
MM has got him there because he can drop deeper and act as another CM if it gets on top. He's thinking defensive. He's giving up an attacking position to fit in a utility man, Jack of all trades who isn't particularly good at what he's being asked to do but will have the odd good day there, but he's there because in his Jack of all trades repertoire he can also cover CM and that suits old Mick the prick with his 5 defenders and 3 midfielders. 2 attacking players out of 10 is poor. Obviously it will work some of the time, but against better teams it is going to be a right slog.
I can't be arsed getting onto a big ccmb debate slogfest.
Morrison coming back in made a big difference IMO. Whenever Ng or Bagan were caught out of position (which will inevitably happen as wing backs) he was able to read the danger and go across to cover. I don't think Flint and Nelson have that same level of intelligence. He also bullied Keogh in both boxes.
Thought Bagan was shaky last week and in the first half yesterday, but second half he did really well. Always an option and distributed the ball well. His foul was brilliant, not quite Gyepes-level but a crucial one to make.
Collins looks a very good like-for-like for Moore but on current evidence his finishing leaves a lot to be desired.
Still too much aimless hoof all, especially from Flint, and Blackpool were poor, but a good away performance on the whole.
Mick the prick? I’m sorry, what?
It was men against boys yesterday. Dominated them from start to finish. 2-0 flattered Blackpool it could and should have been at least 4-0 with the chances we created.
Comprehensively beaten by a very good cardiff side

If that's how he saw us that will do for me
Stanley Matthews could have done better when he retired from the game. Defending that was worthy of Pontcanna on a Saturday afternoon. I could have scored against them, they were so poor.
We made them look poor. The stream I had was from the blackpool Ifollow player so it had their commentary and they were saying how Mick had clearly done his homework as we were pressing them high up the pitch and they couldn’t play their football from the back.
Yes we play to our strengths and use our size and physicality from set pieces and getting crosses into the box but it’s not aimless hoofball we saw under Warnock. Far from it.
The lone striker was often isolated under Warnock. Full backs who never crossed the half way line.
We had 17 attempts at goal yesterday I think Mick deserves some credit for our performance. One criticism is we didn’t take a lot of good chances but on another day we will be more clinical.
