If we’re going to play hoofball
Why don’t we just do it properly
Our strengths are pretty obvious and as Gabbs said on the radio it’s predictable what’s going to happen. Punt from the back if goal kicks or goal kicks were easy for millwall as they just had to sit a little deeper and wait for the ball.
Could Morrison and Flint go up for every goal kick/keeper kick either side of Moore and play almost for territory with Pack and Ralls dropping back into those roles until they could switch during open play.
What’s the point of hoofing it to our smallest players?

Today's game was like two Neanderthals fighting over a rock cake.

In case you didn't realise, we won 3-1 🤷🏻

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
Winning is everything
We don't have the players to play like big time Charlies

People should be allowed to constructively criticise even winning performances.
I don't want to watch football if its going to be hoofed about, but OP makes a fair point.

Is it? Or is that merely your opinion?
For me, football is all about being entertained.

That's the aim. But it's not ALL its about.
OP has an opinion on it, your reply "incase you didn't realise..." seems like his opinion doesn't matter just because we won.
We won't always win, but we'll always play dire football.

So you'd rather us play brilliant football and have lost 1-3 today?

It makes no odds to me. I didn’t go to the game or watch it on TV. But, in my opinion at least, football is very obviously about a whole lot more than just winning games.

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
Even teams who play brilliant football get beat.
It's about winning as many games as you can.

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
The players and staff are there purely to win the game. The fans pay to watch them, not tell them how to play. If someone doesnt fiind it entertaining, there are plenty of other things to do on a Saturday afternoon

I disagree but football is most certainly about differing opinions.

So whatn you're saying is, if someone has supported the team all their life they can't have an opinion, and if they don't like it, they should go to asda and do their weekly shop?
Oh, tidy butt.

If football is merely about winning games, why do you support Cardiff City?

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
I am mortified if we play brilliantly and lose. It’s the worse feeling. Most of today was pretty awful but I’m happy tonight.

Imagine how people feel when we play terribly football AND lose.

Every team goes into the game to win, that's a fact. If winning isn't the ultimate aim then I don't know what is

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
Weve scored 3 today and won.
More than happy.

Some people are never happy whatever we do

And performance. The more we progress, the easier it is for the opposition to deal with our style of play. It isn't sustainable, and if by some miracle we were promoted, it would be a miserable season, with the likes of Mighty Watford taking us apart.

Re: If we’re going to play hoofball
The Lone Gunman used to have a blog entitled shooting from the lip . It was mildly entertaining , as he is but the little fella was dead right when he delivered a fatal blow to all those moaning to get Ridsdale out.
His conclusion was the same as mine regarding CCFC as it stands
If my aunty had bollocks she would be my uncle
It is what it is
If we had a thriving youth system , if we had a squad full of skillful footballers and we had a bucket load to spend we MIGHT be playing great football
But we don't
It is what it is
We have a wiley old manager who is it seems doing his best to get the most out of a squad he has inherited
And the football is far from perfect
Critisise away , cry out for a creative dynamic midfield , yearn for play to be built from the back
But at the end of the day we are 6th and the points are on the board
You can play entertaining football week in week out but if you are near the foot of the table ask yourself if you think Cardiff City in league one , the old division 3 , is an entertaining thought.
