Next match: Pre-season. Saturday, July 11th | FC Midtjylland (H) @ Cardiff City Stadium, 12:30pm -
All pre-season fixtures
Two games is a bit early to be throwing the towel in. The signs so far are not especially encouraging, but let’s keep things in perspective. It’s only August 12th.
I think everyone agrees we were atrocious today. As bad as under hudson.
However even with that we hit the bar twice and could have won.
Fine margins as lots of other very poor sides in this league. We are certainly one of them though and I couldn't believe the pre season optimism of great to see cardiff going for it etc..... I can't see it. I think it's a 3rd season in a row of around 18th.
It is too early to start jumping to conclusions like that, but I’ve thought all along that our truly atrocious home form in recent years had to be factored into any consideration of our prospects for the season and, in losing to what has probably been the poorest team in the Championship over the last ten months, we’ve suffered what could be a deeply damaging blow today.

Today could have gone either way - Grant missed two close-in sitters, we hit the bar twice, and gave them one goal at least. Actually, for all the good comments about our draw at Leeds, I think that game showed our deficiencies more so - we just couldn't compete for 45 minutes, camped virtually on the edge of the penalty area. Will that be the same at Leicester, Norwich, Southampton, Watford, Coventry....

My thoughts exactly. For 45 mins we couldn't compete with mighty Leeds who lost to Birmingham today. and who had one shot on target in the full 90 minutes.

the negativity on here tonight is off the richter scale !
we have just employed not just a new Manager but a complete new back room staff in the process
The Manager has cobbled up a number of loan signings to help us compete in this league
a great point at Leeds and with a bit of luck could have got a point today
lets not throw in the towel just yet
People aren't throwing in the towel, just frustrated at a crap performance that resembled most over the last couple of years despite all the new faces.
Im not sure I saw the same game as some on here ( and on the Call Rob radio show, dont normally listen to that, is it always as negative ? ? )
1st 30 mins were we not great, but neither were QPR
1st goal they scored, Should have never have been robbed like that, 2nd goal, you have to win that slide tackle or at least bring the player down, dont let them skip past you
we hit the crossbar twice, had a few a very decent chances
Rambo looked like he was 100% committed to win, Ollie came on and as ive said in the past, he is exciting, he runs at players
on another day, we have won this game, and we would be thinking everything is good
I came away discussing it with my 2 daughters and it was all positive and I stand by that
