Gary Madine [or anyone who will see him before the morning]..

That's not really helpful, every Cardiff player still has a big part to play during the rest of our season :thumbup:

BTW do you think he missed on purpose?

Slag off Madine whilst conveniently ignoring his assist to equalise v Sheff Utd and also conveniently ignoring Hoilett's mis.

He didnt miss it - the goalie saved it and it was right in the bottom corner. Perhaps you should follow your own links advice.

No. He missed because he isn't very good.

He was good enough to at least be on target, unlike Hoilett.

Incorrect.

It it was a very poor penalty which the keeper was bound to save provided that he guessed the right way.

Nowhere near the corner and a perfect height. Rubbish.

Agreed.

Maybe he will I’ll become good but so far Madine has been rubbish for us. And this was his big chance.

Why he he was taking it though I have no idea. I can think of a good five players that I’d chose before him.

Not to mention Bartley......



Seriously what has he done apart from strutting round the pitch with a puffed-out chest?

Yeah, I don’t get that either.

I agree with the part about Madine running around with his chest puffed out though. Time to play some football now.

You and AQM are normally sensible posters.

But not tonight.

I'm not one to slate city players often, but in my view he has done **** all to suggest he was worth anything like the money we paid for him. He should never have taken the penalty.
Pilks surely.

Thank you.

A sensible and measured response.

We’ll have to disagree then.

Thus far Madine has been a big disappointment and him taking the penalty was clearly a mistake. No one can question the latter, even if for some reason you DO somehow think that his contribution so far has in any way represented value for money for a £6m pound striker.

Lay off Madine, at least he had the bollocks to take it

First sign of trouble, if you can call one loss in 14 that and I just knew some would turn on the players.

I called Madine the new Ronnie Moore after the Sheffield Utd game.......

More than that, he ran over and grabbed the ball. Takes some cahoonas does that.

We were unlucky, I had tonight down as a possible loss and we move on.

Madine took penalties for Bolton so I fully expected him to take it.

Having missed, I assume he didn't fancy the second but, in that case, it should have been Pilkington who we know can take and score penalties.

He had scored 5 penalties in his career. Why can't anyone "question the latter"???

And how on earth you deduced what I "somehow think" from what I said in my 1st post I don't know!

You obviously werent watching or were too pissed to concentrate. It was a good penalty, on target and low towards the corner and the goalie pulled off a very good save. The ball was actually almost behind him but he somehow got his hand to it. I suggest you watch the replay. Hoiletts was off target but you dont mention that one. Get off his back.

I for one want to stay on his back.

Madine's rubbish.

And his missed penalty has nothing to do with this judgement. It's down to his stats: goals; assists; passing success and directed headers.

But what about the run up? When I saw how close he was to the ball before taking it, I knew he wouldn't score it. It was a decent save though, but Madine should've wellied it.

I'm not usually in the business of slagging off players, and I know some are still emotional after a disappointing loss, but I kind of agree about Madine being a let down thus far. I was a tad pessimistic about this signing even though Warnock's record on signing players is often good, but we haven't had much of a decent return from £6 million.

Still, I'd be more than happy for him to prove me wrong :ayatollah:

Penalties can be a lottery. Even though it was an awful spot kick - slow, just to the keeper's left - it is more for his total lack of effectiveness in matches that I criticise him. He got the 'assist' at Sheff. Utd, but rarely wins a header, has absolutely awful control, and gives away free kicks all the time, putting pressure back on the defence. IMHO he's a lower league player..

Very very sad.

Some fans don't deserve success

Pathetic thread. OP fickle football fan in all his glory. We’re all entitled to an opinion, but fu*k me, it’s soul destroying on here at times.

You assume wrong. Bamba grabbed the ball and gave it to Hoilett.

This is an attempt at humour I take it?

Why not just put your efforts into getting behind EVERY player?

I heard collective groans around me.if Bryson was near the ball last night, funnily enough the same idiots weren't cheering when he picked up a loose ball in our half before a wolves player had a run at goal, or when he chased down their defence and won the ball and created a chance, they did groan though when he couldn't reach a ball going through our midfield even though he was stretched trying to reach it. I have sections of our "fans" at times.
No groan when Morrison carried the ball across the 18 yard box from left to right, and played the ball up the line near the ninian stand to watch it go out (I won't groan about it either as it doesn't help the players on the pitch)
Few of them slipped or miss controlled the ball last night but only some get stick for it. Pathetic.

Glad there was a packed out canton last night they really helped our team.

Hardly any mention of Hoilett's truly dreadful penalty

People like Hoilett therefore he gets a free ride on his penalty miss.

I don’t subscribe to this “having the bollox” Professional footballer, paid thousands of pounds a week has to take a free kick from 12 yards. It’s not difficult.

Can’t chastise a player for missing a pen, better players than Madine and Hoilett have missed penalties. Even the great Peter Whittingham missed a few.

We need a result at Villa Tuesday to arrest this mini slump.

I don’t subscribe to this “having the bollox” notion that it’s such a daunting and scary task. Professional footballer, paid thousands of pounds a week has to take a free kick from 12 yards. It’s not difficult.

I won’t chastise a player for missing a pen though, better players than Madine and Hoilett have missed penalties. Even the great Peter Whittingham missed a few.
