Relegation

Re: Relegation

Yet McCarthy's long ball, physical approach lost us 8 matches in a row. That didn't end up getting us relegated.

You're having a leathering here, sonny.

That was his management , not direct football , which was at fault

Under Warnock we were one game off a record number of wins on the trot

Disciplined football got us to the Premier League

You have been watching too much football on TV.

The crowds have not declined at Cardiff City because our players are not passing the ball and watching Opera , the club is in trouble because we are not scoring goals , defending well and winning matches

You can throw statistics around all bloody day and you can yearn for attractive midfield formations but that's not going to save us from the bottom 3

People say we havnt got the players to play the percentage game but we are not far off . A new centre back , a bit more steel in the middle .

What we certainly don't have is a side that can play pretty pass football and play us out of trouble .

We certainly don't have any money to assemble that sort of squad .

I think you are sitting at home smoking your pipe whilst Rome burns 🔥

Re: Relegation

You have asked me that question earlier , phrased the same way

Have you not read the reply ?

I read it. I was interested in an answer to the actual question, not the waffle you gave which avoided the question entirely.

Right, so what do you think is the best way forward with the players we have?

No it didn't

I don't think much can be done until the next transfer window when we will have to get a physical edge in

We need a fresh couple of faces in the middle to help out rails as he's under too much pressure and error prone

What can we do with the players we have ? Not much really

It's a bit like putting a finger in a dyke

Eventually it's going to leak

Flint and all the physical players were responsible for us being in a relegation battle, one that was only easier because of points deductions and real crap at the foot of the table. You want the players that took us into a relegation battle to still be with us because they're physical, rather than footballers. That's your game. You're really going to hate football in 10 years time.

How many Championship sides need a physical edge? How do we compare?

Flint and players like him were not responsible for us being in a relegation battle it was the hangers on

Indeed. Flint has had a fantastic career after leaving us.....

The lower down the table the more you need it

On a wet cold Tuesday night up north you don't want a Jason bowen type player involved in a relegation midfield battle

That's not the point

He was a solid , reliable and dependable player when he was here

And we need players like him now

No he wasn't. He was crap at the back. Scored a few goals. He wasn't anywhere near as good as the likes of Morrison, Manga, Bamba etc.

That's why we struggled at the back when he played.

Simple question - would you rather City give up its current style of football, passing it about, favouring a physical, long ball battle, permanently?

How's Brexit, May, Boris, Truss, and Sunak going? Sounds awesome.
