Thought we might sneak something here, until I found Mowatt was fit. He's bound to score.
3-1 WBA
2-1 win, Isaak Davies masterclass, the public humiliation was all a clever ploy by Morison

It was probably needed, a kick up the bottom , the lad was probably instructed to perform in a certain way and didn't.
He knows this lad well and has played a big part in his development .
City one nil win .

You can dress it up in whatever way you want, but I see it has a really poor management style of practice, Morison needs to get something today even if it’s getting the team selection right.
Vaulks, Pack and Ralls as a midfield trio
Time for total football!
I’m hoping Harris goes on to have a stormer after me saying this but I find him massively underwhelming.

I thought some of his comments in Colwill in the past haven’t been the best either.

As expected really, after Moore getting injured v Bournemouth.
Line up fills me with no optimism.
What happened to Kieron Evans?

He was injured and hasn't been able to get back in squad. Pity because he started off brightly.

We haven’t kept a clean sheet for 22 games :facepalm:
West Brom undefeated at home all season. They haven’t scored in 2 games.
So 6 nil to the Baggies it is then :frown:
Is anyone getting the game on Sky red button. Nothing is showing for me.

Fantastic save by Smithies
Maurice Swan
02-01-22, 14:21
WBA starting to press now......and yes...great save by Smithies.
Surely that's a penalty?
Had to be! Just a lunge by their defender right in front of the referee!

They must be nuts. Great corner and good goal effort just before.

And people don't rate Joe Ralls.
Why do you say this?
His cross was a good one fair play but one 5 minutes ago he put straight into the hands of their keeper.
Average player no more.

His set piece delivery is far better than average
Maurice Swan
02-01-22, 14:49
WBA are no great shakes on that first half performance. Just need to keep our nerve and gain confidence...maybe a clean sheet??
Think Harris is doing quite well - shade offisde twice. Vaulks pretty anonymlous. No outstanding performance.
Corner aside Ralls' passing has been sloppy today
Former Labour leader
02-01-22, 14:51
Team working hard. That's all we can ask at this stage. WBA looking like they did v Derby. Very nervous and out of sorts. As long as we keep battling we can win this one.
His set piece delivery is far better than average
Collins deserves more credit IMHO as the cross was actually behind him.

Maurice Swan
02-01-22, 15:11
Just seen slow motion replay - at leat a yard offside.
Definitely offside, bugger!
They've shown it 2 or 3 times now and he is at least a yard off, probably two.
Vaulks was taken out in front of the ref 2 minutes earlier and he turned a blind eye.
Looks like another set of homer officials.

Well offside, seen a few replays of it, West Brom commentators even chuckling ironically over it. Actually two Albion players off.
Why do you say this?
His cross was a good one fair play but one 5 minutes ago he put straight into the hands of their keeper.
Average player no more.
Beacuse people go to town on him because he's not Steven Gerrard. He's a quality Championship player and we're a much better team with him in the side. He's far from average at this level.
Maurice Swan
02-01-22, 15:29
Good work by Harris....wasted by Vaulks.
Joe Gillis
02-01-22, 15:34
Good work by City, wasted by Ralls
Caught at the back again, got lucky.
Need some fresh legs and though they aren't great, I can see us conceding again.

Red for Mowatt, horrible challenge

Straight red for Mowatt, the West Brom commentators say definite red, but it’s a weak red. Can’t work that one out:shrug:

02-01-22, 15:36
Red card! We might get a point here
15 minutes. Make it count City!

He's easily the best in our midfield; I know that's not saying much but I'm always more hopeful when he's in the team.
Red card! We might get a point here
:xmashehe:
Colwill on for Vaulks
A positive move, I would have had him on from the start.

I have had a pop at him in the past in response to people raving about him.
Won't argue that we are a better side with him in the team but that isn't saying a great deal.

surely we cannot lose this now??

Yes, fingers crossed he can create something. He has ability.

Dreadful defending at the death.
How can West Brom have a go at the ref when their goal was offside?

Flint sent off after the whistle.
splott parker
02-01-22, 15:56
Albion’s keeper gets red after the whistle, has Flint got one as well?
Good point in the end, some good opportunities when they were with 10 though and we just lack belief and application to do better with them.
Looked like Pack had his hands all over the guy at the end, no idea why he would have.
Grangenders
02-01-22, 15:57
Good point that. Their goal was offside but they also should have had a penalty at the end. We are lucky that West Brom didn’t get out of second gear today.

Not a penalty....he went down looking for it...
I’m happy with a point.
Haven’t seen any replays but their goal looked office and they could have had a pen at the end.
They cut us open quite easily a few times, the mobility of our CBs and Pack is a big issue, winning the first ball is fine but we lost a number of second balls.
Good point that. Their goal was offside but they also should have had a penalty at the end. We are lucky that West Brom didn’t get out of second gear today.
How are we the lucky ones when their only goal was miles off?
He feckin dived!!! Hope the WBA manager gets a long touchline ban what a complete pr!ck.
I suppose thats Morrison back with Flint banned.
Should have been a penalty but their goal was offside anyway; ref didn't perform well.
We were so much after the change with Colwill and Vaulks but of course the red card helped us. Davies was promising when he came on and for me he should start before Harris.
They just showed their goal again from a few angles. Unbelievable. A shocking decision. At least two yards offside.
We don't half get some dross officiating our games.
With that shower today we should all be thankful of a point.
Still some ropey defending but overall happy with a point.
splott parker
02-01-22, 16:01

Flint as well

What were Packs hands doing on his shoulders? Maybe he's just a friendly bloke :hehe: Think that we got away with one there.

02-01-22, 16:03

Yeah Johnstone got sent off I think for hitting someone then Flint got sent off as well. Not sure what for as didn't see anything he did wrong.
I'm sure their manager will be in trouble after the game as he caused it all.

Flint not red carded?
Anyone know why was Flint sent off?
That was a penalty for them in the end. If that was against one of our players we would be shouting for a stonewall penalty. However, their goal was offside but this is a point won rather than two lost.
Anyone know why was Flint sent off?
He wasn't. It was Pack.
bluebirds17
02-01-22, 16:04
Take a point to be honest. Thought it was a good performance hampered by crap refereeing again.
Our midfield continues to be an issue.
Flint not red carded?
Yes he was.
Anyone know why was Flint sent off?

Don Corleone
02-01-22, 16:06
No idea why Collins was trying to stop Valerian getting to the ref at the end, nothing to do with you, let him go and maybe he gets suspended and Flint doesn’t get sent off
I don’t know what to think of that. So many talking points but when they went down to 10 we should’ve picked them off, we looked clueless and lacked belief.

Davies was promising when he came on and for me he should start before Harris.
Really? He was either on the floor, bouncing off defenders or mistiming his run. Can see the potential, he needs to find the space and play away from the defenders. Didn’t see anything better than Harris has.
Forest Green Bluebird
02-01-22, 16:08
Originally on BBC website there was no confirmation. There is now.
He should not have been allowed to stay on the pitch at the end to applaud the Cardiff fans.

Of course there was such mayhem they could be wrong.

they're almost always given, I never think they should be though, no way was the contact enough to bring him down. can see why they're annoyed though

Thought so at the time, but red button doesn't show replays, and you can't pause/rewind either.

Exactly, no way was there enough pressure to bring him down, the way he goes down makes that pretty obvious as well

Of course there was such mayhem they could be wrong.
On the Sky Red Button the commentary said Pack but there was such chaos at the end it could have been Flint. The WBA manager was to blame for all of this and I'm sure the authorities will do something about that retrospectively.
We had no idea what to do once they went down to 10 which is disappointing
Decent point though
Supposedly there was an altercation in the dugout with West Brom fans shouting at Vaulks that he's a cheat etc, pathetic. That challenge was awful and Vaulks could have been seriously injured

Yep.

So you reckon if the roles were reversed they would not have mentioned the equalising goal?
We are part of the narrative, which ain't in our favour.

We don't seem to have much going forward - anything attacking was dependent on Giles or a set-piece. Generally solid though and more than I expected.

Yeah, very little going forward
I suppose the issues is the midfield was very much one that would be described as "functional" rather than creative and clearly the plan was to be solid, that all changes when they go down to 10
Bang on. You win some, you lose some. Ref evened it out. Next game please.
This.
I did say just after it happened we were lucky to get away with the Flint challenge.
Stone waller for me.
Happy with a point there when all's said and done.
Not a penalty for me. Yes, Pack had hands on him, but the WBA player obviously dived. There was no pulling, no shoving. That's the kind of bullshit that gets given by VAR. Most refs wouldn't give that in real-time.

Okay, maybe not a stone wall penalty but these are very often given.
It depends how much force there has been in the pull back and only the players themselves know whether it was enough.
Pull a shirt and you run the risk.
If it was outside the box then I reckon they'd be given nine times out of ten and the way that the ref had been officiating all through the game, I would not have been at all surprised had a pelanty been awarded.
I doubt Pack would have had much defence had it been.
It was a stupid challenge whichever way you view it.

It was stupid. If anyone on here can tell me why Pack had his hands on the WBA players shoulders as he's attempting to get around the outside of him then i'd be interested to know what the reason was. I'd very much doubt that it was for anyone elses benefit apart from pack, and i very much doubt that it would have helped the WBA player in any positive way, in fact, it could be argued that it impeded his movement. Thankfully, the Ref didn't see it that way, probably because they had scored an offside goal and it was the final kick of the game. For me, a penalty, i'd expect it if it was us and i would be disappointed if it wasn't given. As would the majority on here who are saying it wasn't a penalty. That's football.

Don't think so. But also looks a '90% penalty' from the replays. Not sure why Pack was doing that, so daft. I'd also like to say what big-hearted bloke Flint is. I know most players give 100% but he just exudes effort and passion. If City could find a 30yr old Bamba to play alongside him in a back 4, we would let in half the goals we currently do.

That's the point, Pack gave the ref a decision to make, idiot. I like Flint, he works hard and doesn't go missing when he makes a mistake or things get tough for him. Limited at times but honest and competitive. He's a good pro.

Incredible the turnaround in his Cardiff career, from an overpriced (I'd say he still is) donkey to cult hero!

Only saw the second half. Happy with the point but it’s 2 dropped for me. Their goal was offside and we had an extra man for twenty minutes.
Colwill was positive and should start for me, but Davies should have come on sooner and he should have moved away from Bartley who was too strong for him. Let Collins occupy him.
Not a pen IMO.
Eddie Johnson?.....West Brom have just signed "Eddie Johnson in disguise". As seen at half time. USA international I bet he's wondering what he has let himself in for.

Agree with all this apart from the penalty call.
As Tuerto has said elsewhere, we'd be baying for that one if it was the other way around and feel aggrieved to have not got it. But, their goal was offside.
Thought Morison didn't manage it well enough when WBA had the red. That was a massive advantage to us and we didn't exploit it. If anything, I really couldn't tell they were a player short as they created some brilliant chances.
No stand-outs for me today but very pleased we came away with a point but very disappointed we dropped 2.

Not a penalty. Their player threw himself to the ground after he felt an arm on him. Their goal was clearly offside. Good performance though. West Brom manager needs to get a grip.

Only saw the second half. Happy with the point but it’s 2 dropped for me. Their goal was offside and we had an extra man for twenty minutes.
Colwill was positive and should start for me, but Davies should have come on sooner and he should have moved away from Bartley who was too strong for him. Let Collins occupy him.
Not a pen IMO.
Just on that point about Davies moving away from Bartley and letting Collins occupy him, this is where I think we lack leadership. It's up to our manager, captain, and senior players to take some responsibility. Davies is a creative player and we desperately need that. Great goal from Collins but he's bland. Thought Harris showed some flair and sparkle today.

The most glaring deficiencies in our side is our inability not to win a second ball.

Morison’s words
"It was all caused by them having a stonewall penalty and the referee not giving it.

Did he rally say that? If so, then he's seeing the infringement not as an opposing manager but as a striker. He'd have been all over it. It was a penalty in my opinion.

This has been a massive problem for ages. It's so frustrating. Heading the ball in 'defensive' situations straight back to an opposition player (I'm looking at you Nelson and Flint).
There was one passage of play where we had possession, passed it sideways and backward all the way back to Smithies, because WBA was pressing only for Smithies to hoof the ball straight back to an Albion player at almost the exact same point on the park we started passing back from.
Incredible the turnaround in his Cardiff career, from an overpriced (I'd say he still is) donkey to cult hero!
I prefer him to Nelson and at the moment he's giving Morrison a run for his money.
Not a penalty for me. Yes, Pack had hands on him, but the WBA player obviously dived. There was no pulling, no shoving. That's the kind of bullshit that gets given by VAR. Most refs wouldn't give that in real-time.
The thing is that if Pack had kept his hands off him then noone would have thought it a penalty.
is there anyone out of picture, to the left?
Dont know, But You can even seen the Lino exactly inline with play, so no excuse that they were catching up

Pack got away with one there. There would be murder on here if that had been one of ours in the 94th minute.

Then again their goal looked miles offside so maybe that levelled things up?

This happened SO many times today 🤦*♂️

if it had been KM going down in the same manner we would have been screaming for a Pen
BUT having said that, if course it wasn't a pen, the player looked like he had been dragged back by his hood in the playground
its just a shame that football had ended up like this, but its happening at U10 level right now ( we played a U11 boys dev team between christmas and the NY, 3 of the boys were on Southamptons books and one Swindons, we played 9 V 9 and any contact, and I mean anything, they were rolling around on the floor, one player was outstanding at it, any tackle and he is down, in the pen area he would add a extra rolls, the worse was a front on tackle in the pen box, nothing to it, but he was down and rolled THREE times, the girls laughed at him and told him to get up, it was painful to watch, I spoke to the coach at the end of it, mentioned they have all the skill in the world ( and they did ) But every throw-in they took was a foul throw ( teach them the basics first ? ? ? ) the coach defended it and said thats the way the game has gone, you either learn the skill or you get left behind :shrug: he mentioned if you dont coach it, you are a dinosaurs :shrug: he wants to play again in Feb )

That's what i think. Ref bottled it.
a result that we really didn't need

I thought our overall play was a lot better. We actually looked dangerous going forward. I couldn’t fault the effort and fight from the boys today.

Morison has his opinion and I have mine. The guy just threw himself on the floor. It was disgusting.

So you reckon if the roles were reversed they would not have mentioned the equalising goal?
We are part of the narrative, which ain't in our favour.
Not paranoia, just fact.
My point is valid. It happened at the end of the game and caused a huge fracas. Its inevitable its going to be the bigger talking point.

Just seen that West Brom have just signed Daryl Dike from Orlando, he was unstoppable at Barnsley last year, probably a good time to have played them.

They paraded him around the ground yesterday at half time.

Cost them 8m apparently. Nice to have cash to spare.

Is Zohore still there? I guess he isn’t getting a look in.

Seen the WBA goal so many times each time it gets more offside! Mind you the more I look at the penalty appeal, the more I think it was a penalty, even though the WBA player made a meal of it.

Would just like to say how much of an effort we put into that game on Sunday. To a man Cardiff were superb in their endeavours.
We more than deserved our point and in front of almost 2000 away fans the players gave everything.
