  • Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 1 COVENTRY CITY. Match thread

    We've got limited football ability in two main areas - defence and midfield. Our defence however does exactly what it says on the tin, and in Moore with occasional support from Wilson/Ojo/Murphy, we have a real threat upfront.
    McCarthy is doing exactly what everyone hoped he would do, and that is get the best out of this squad. I'd love us to have the midfield mobility that [relegation-threatened] Coventry displayed. but it's all about what happens at either end of the pitch. Next season is another time..

      Harris won a number of games back-to-back but overplayed Moore who then, unsurprisingly, got injured and suddenly we're a shadow of what we had been during that winning spell. If MM doesn't rest Moore midweek he's made the same mistake whether we look better under his watch or not.

      Positives today:

      - Moore, Murphy and Wilson linked up nicely
      - Vaulks, Nelson and NG too
      - 3 goals, 3 points, happy days

      Negatives:

      - Squad management.

        But Bacuna was the only experienced sub we had. We had so many out through injury so I don’t see how the squad could have been better managed today.

          Plenty of games to come where I'm sure they'll get their chance.
          Is that your impersonation of every City manager since Ole?

            You are in the mix now. No doubt about it. In Moore, Wilson and Ojo you have real threats.Getting a bit nervous about our position in the top six. We were poor today.

                          Reading are 8 points ahead of us. That's a lot of points to make up.

                            You were 16 points behind us prior to last Saturday’s game. You are a real threat now.

                              Results wise only, probably should be pointed out that our losing run was mainly against the three best sides in the division (lost six from seven and four of those was against what appears to be the best three sides in the league) and a rapidly improving QPR side while our mini renaissance has been built on picking up points against sides in terrible form (Barnsley, Bristol City, Coventry) or sides with key players missing (Rotherham).

                              Defeat against Wycombe was probably our worst result and draw against Millwall probably our best in what has been two periods of very different emotions. This was all immediately preceded by four good wins on the bounce too.

                              Performance wise, these past few games have definitely been the best we've had it all season.

                                Our starting XI might be top 6 worthy but we're now going to have to rotate players.

                                Reading might be 13th best over past 6 games but your only defeats have come against the best and 4th best side (Millwall) in the league over that period of time. Stretch that our further and your only defeats in past 10 games have come against Brentford (best side in league over that time) and a Millwall side on a hot-streak. Your only bad result over the past 10 games has been a draw against Stoke who are on a terrible run of form.
