Re: CARDIFF CITY v LEEDS UTD. FA Cup Match thread

Exactly what I have said to friends. Today was a shot to nothing and I went into the game hoping we'd keep it respectable. There were some big performances out there and Hudson will have much to think on now. Isaak Davies caused real issues with his pace. Ojo put in a much improved performance and didn't stop running. Simpson did well at centre back, especially in the first half I thought. Sawyers gave the kind of performance he is capable of and we have been missing. Sang battled relentlessly and didn't stop going but I'd be happier if Ng reverts to right back if McGuinness does come back. Ollie Tanner bless him was miles off the tempo and a loan will do him good for the rest of the season. All in all I hope that this gives the players a bit more belief and the confidence carries through to the Wigan match. I only see benefits from this afternoon and, importantly, we didn't lose !

agree entirely.

Not to be picky, as I said Leeds deserved at least a draw and Alnwick saved a penalty. But could he have done better on that equalizer? He was just waiting for the ball to drop into arms when he was surrounded by Leeds players.

no no no...not at fault....

Absolutely pathetic conceding like that at the end.

Typical Cardiff City. So weak and spineless.

Fair play, I have seen some stupid posts on here but that one takes the biscuit.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a bet on us losing but I just looked and Leeds are even money. I expected them to be 1/2. Sadly, I’m fully expecting to be $100 better off later today.

Hope you can afford to lose a ton.

That’s PL players being sharp to be fair.

Could've done without another game but encouraging performance.

I really don’t get this, it’s a football club. They’ve also got a big squad some of whom barely play. Of course they can do with another game.

Elland Road will be sold out, it's another £250k or so for the club.

Can’t help thinking there’s an element of something you see in politics to the reaction to our performance today. Political parties sometimes set expectations for an election, debate etc very low, so they can act in a positive way when it doesn’t turn out to be a complete disaster.

I realise I’m being harsh there - we played a lot better than we have done recently and were always going to struggle once we went down to ten, it it was close to two reserve sides playing each other today though and our performance fell away badly in the second half.

I thought we were good value for money
With virtually all our first 11 out, we held Leeds to a credible draw.
I really enjoyed the game, and the atmosphere was superb in the Ninian stand

Could so easily have been a 4 or 5 goal hammering, so pleased to still be in the draw for the 4th round
