It is one of many gripes though.
Not a Happy Gathering .
Maybe because the ball was aimed at his head?Quote:

A midfield including Sawyers who looks like he can't be arsed most of the time, up front well **** knows??
Who ever comes in has a massive job on their hands, we need to clear out the coaching staff, and half the squad.
I've always thought that you should play your best 11, but for some reason in the cup, playing against a Premier league side, the interim manager decided to play a virtual reserve team and our most skilful natural no 10 out on the wing,
He then gets hooked at half time??
Meet the new boss, as clueless as the last two bosses.
Whatever happened to giving it a go???
Unless he grows about 2 inches, he can't bring the ****ing thing down can he?Quote:

I think they are saying that the supply he is getting is a much to blame as he is.Quote:

He should have a word with Rubin, he is good at that..Quote:

All the same everyone was shit, apart from Robinson of course. Ojo maybe also.
I think this is a bit harsh, 500k is peanuts for a young striker., it's about what we paid for Omar Bogle
he's scored at L2 and L1 level and had a very interesting (if somewhat unconventional) player profile in terms of stats.
clearly some areas of his game need improvement, but I wouldn't write him off yet - recent Cardiff teams have made plenty of other more experienced strikers look useless too!
He's scored 3 goals in League One and 3 goals in League Two.Quote:

Personally I would say those playing the ball too high are more to blame than a young striker who can't reach the bloody thing.
I think there has been the odd good sign from him, against Blackpool I thought he looked lively.
Unfortunately, we aren't renowned for improving players so I would imagine we will release him in a year or two for nothing before he goes on to have a decent career in the championship
Sadly, a return of Uche would be an improvement at the moment.Quote:
