Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 BLACKPOOL. Match thread

Frustrating game again and we're definitely in a rut but the booing was embarrassing. Second in the league, 11 points ahead of 3rd and a chorus of boos at full time :shrug:

The way we play has taken its toll on the players both physically and mentally and it isn't that surprising that we've faltered somewhat.
I agree booing is not good to hear but much of it is frustration.

Being 11 points clear is annoying :hehe:

We all watched last season, that was frustrating. This last month, we've missed Salech.

Really poor performance.

Not signing a back up striker for Salech has cost us the league.

Hopefully we get promoted anyway.

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 BLACKPOOL. Match thread

Those Bolton and Bradford results have cheered me up a bit. We started the day needing 15 points and ended it needing 11. Would be nice to secure promotion in style though rather than limping home (although I'd take that over slipping into the playoffs!).

This is the most annoying thing, I'm fairly certain promotion automatically will happen but would be great to not just stumble over the line. Hopefully the break does them well.

Time to accept Ashford is just a poor player, over promoted cause he’s ‘one of our own’ and Welsh. Slows everything down, can’t cross, can’t finish, what’s the point in him?

No.

Hes a talented young player who has played his part in getting us to where we are. Who do you want him to cross to.? Theres no striker on the pitch.

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 BLACKPOOL. Match thread

I disagree.
If the players were to go "off piste" and not play to the manager's brief then they would be out.
The manager is as much at fault for our stuttering end to the season as the players

If you think that an individual showing that little bit of difference in a moment, is going in a different direction, then that's one opinion i suppose. None of it matters though, we're up, and quite comfortably..

A little harsh. I’m not his biggest fan but he’s been better recently. Not good enough for the Championship though, need to recruit 4 or 5 players next season and not sure we will.

We are clearly missing Salech although we got away with playing a false 9 for quite a while.

I still have no idea what BBM thinks he is going to achieve by replacing Robertson with the completely and continually anonymous Turnbull. Surely J Colwill is a more obvious swap???

I know you cant stand Turnbull. I thought he was no better or worse than anyone. But ffs I have no idea when we badly needed some energy and quick movement BBM thought Turnbull would be a better option than Joel Colwill. Absolutely mental. Maybe hes got an injury.? I cant think of any half decent coach with us 0-0 thinking what we need now is Turnbull!!!

Agree with you on Ashford, he is a talented player and tried hard to make something happen when there were no options in the box to aim for by crossing

BBM is the best manager we've had in about a decade, so probably him.

Hes definitely the best coach we've had. But tactically wise. Did you think - we need Turnbull here today. Or on Tuesday. No need for 1 of the 2 centre backs to come on lets just drop Wintle in there.

I think we've absolutely dominated both teams and we've really missed Salech. I don't think Joel Colwill suits these games either., so I'd probably have made the same sub.

With 11 Tangerines behind the ball I'm not sure Joel's energy would make any difference.

Sort of match where we needed Rubin or Kellyman to produce some magic.

I think we miss Salech as well.

Totally disagree on J Colwill but its opinions.

I think we've dominated possession but been fairly comfortably dealt with by both. Don't think we've dominated either sides. They've dealt with us comfortably.

Blackpool camped on their 6 yard box, forced us wide and we couldn't unlock them. I think it's that simple. Next season wont see this as much. It happens.
