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

[jon1959]

I thought we started off really well and scored an excellent team goal but then took our foot off the gas and let them come back into the game. As the game went on, I thought we were lucky that Huddersfield lacked any quality, otherwise they could have pinched an undeserved point. Good to see O’Dowda back and he looked really positive when he came on. I don’t know what’s happened to Tanner but he’s gone backwards and looks like he needs to regain his confidence. Where did the referee find so many bookings and a red card in a game, where that wasn’t a bad tackle, he was much too fussy for this level.

Red card?

Red card?

Yes, the City goalkeeper coach was sent off after Wintle was pushed to the ground.

Ah OK - I forgot that.

I thought I had missed a player getting red carded. The Huddersfield press (though not their club match report) were suggesting Ng was lucky not to be sent off (after being booked for something in the area)!

Well the last 3 games have reminded me that I’ll take wins over entertainment and fair play to the team for grinding out the last 3 results.

The relative positivity on this thread would’ve been a bit different mind if Danny ward was a championship level striker. Beyond the 3 points it wasn’t a great watch. If we can bore the life out of the crowd and snatch 3 points off Ipswich I’ll take that again though.

On a side note what were all the torches in the crowd about, making a bit of entertainment?

A fortnight ago anyone suggesting that we could win three on the trot would have been in danger of being carted away. So credit must be given to players & staff. The ‘relegation’ hurdle has surely been successfully negotiated. A gradual step up in quality must be attempted now, if results go tits up because of a more adventurous approach the management shouldn’t be hung out to dry. Bulut has achieved the season’s main objective, safety relatively early. He has carte blanche now to tinker & experiment with no criticism, whether he does or not may be his downfall in fans eyes.

Would love us to ‘go for it’ in forthcoming games, if it fails , so be it.
