Re: SWANSEA CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

If it wasn't for Derby and Reading having point deductions last season we would only have been safe by a few points, and that with a team with more goal threat in Hugill and Uche plus the pace of Drameh and Doyle. We were also a threat from set pieces with Flint. At the start of the season Kevin Ratcliffe commented on the new squad wondering where the goals were going to come from.....he was spot on.

We gave up last season, we'd have done better if we had something to play for. There were 5 teams worse with less points than us without points deductions, and we'd have finished higher had Morison not completely wasted the last 7 games or so.

Bigger clubs than ours have been relegated to league 1. Wont be nice but not the end of the world.

Sunderland , Wednesday , Pompey , Derby have a big loyal support and the backing of the local community to pull them back

I would love to have that but I am afraid we don't

You carry on dreaming about a team of permed haired Glenn hoddles dancing around like show horses

Whilst we drop further into trouble

We don't have the players and we are running out of time

You don't play yourself out of a relegation battle

You get stuck in , score goals , play percentage football and get points on the board

You will be here , still spouting about playing passing football as the good ship cardiff city sinks into league 1

We don't have time for messing about .

Who is dreaming of a team of Glenn Hoddles?

I don't advocate any side passing the ball around just for the hell of it, like Swansea were doing earlier this season.

We've had a change of style this season and, according to all City fans I know, they've liked what they've seen. It is work in progress. It is a move away from the boring long ball bollocks we've suffered for years.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we're not as tall a squad as we have been. Long ball, percentage football would not work for us with the players we have. Whacking the ball upfield and scrapping for it will not work for us.

If we're to have any sort of long term success, we need a change from the long ball days. Just because things aren't working after a couple of months doesn't mean revert back to the old ways.

What happens if we did revert back to your shitty type of football and we stayed up? Do we then try a more passing game again next season or put up with that tripe? If we try a passing game again and it doesn't work, do we then go back to long ball? We get caught up in a loop trying to stay in the division season after season. Bollocks to that.

You've been roasted on this time and again and you're still spouting shite on this.

Going down would be a complete and utter disaster, and should be avoided at all costs. There is no guarantee we'd be back any time soon and the damage done would be immeasurable. We lost a generation of fans last time. It must not happen.

Don't flatter yourself

If City go down we will not be getting the crowds of Derby , Sunderland , Wednesday and Pompey

It will be a disaster for this club

We will be getting gates of around 10000

You can quote me on that

Good one Sludge mate, let's play hoof ball proper naughty stuck in footie with our 5'10" strikers and non physically imposing CBs that can't dominate set pieces.

The side has been ripped up, it's entirely different to years ago where we had players to play that style.
