FT: BURNLEY 5 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

What's with this positivity shit ?

3-0 to Burnley, we don't cross the half way line for 85 minutes , 3 goals come from interceptions whilst we are passing across our own box...

Can I get back in the team guys?:hehe:


I am going to have a wee wager, 13/2 is ridiculous. We were quite solid against Sunderland , just lacked a cutting edge .
Mcgguiness looks assured at the back on his return Tuesday add in Chambers NG and Goutas , could be a bit tighter at the back .
He may go for a more safety first team but Colwill would be the first name on my team sheet , him and Tanner (who I didnt rate) combining looked a wee bit special albeit against slightly lesser opponents .
Bollocks that positivity is taking over again.....

McGuinness on his way so he won't be in the squad.
Can't see a win, but with them selling possibly their best player today, perhaps we might scratch a fluky draw.

Fancy it will be an experienced line up , looking to blunt and frustrate Burnley get too 65 minutes then put sone pace on if we're one nil down.

A friend of mine went there and tapped a lady on the shoulder for a dance.

I can believe that. The stories i've heard about that place over the years, from blokes who never ever set foot in the place....

As regards Reindorf, I've only read a little about him but some of the stuff from Norwich referred to him as a midfielder, such as this report:

https://www.canaries.co.uk/content/r...e-to-kettering

Perhaps it's an indication of how the game is generally these days or maybe it's something that is exaggerated at this club in recent years, but we seem to have a lot of players who are not out-and-out strikers but can play in that position. I'm thinking in particular of Robinson, Meite and Grant. We seem to be short of strikers because we're signing utility forwards rather than dedicated strikers. If that makes sense.

At the moment I'd say we only have Kanga and Etete on the books who are out-and-out strikers, and there was some doubt about the former before he arrived, although having seen him now I can't imagine him playing any other position.

---

To be honest, I'm not sure how many out-and-out strikers you should have if you only play one up top. In terms of balance (if not quality) I'd say we've got it about right. Surely there'd be no point in having 5 or 6, say, Keiffer Moores match fit and ready just in case four of them drop out at the same time. If a number of them are utility players then that increases their chances of game time and gives the manager more options too.

Always a danger that those players become jacks-of-all-trades and masters of none, of course, but a degree of flexibility can be a useful asset to have, whatever the position.

In my opinion, we are where we are due to the inflexibility of the current manager when it comes to tactics, and some abysmal recruitment in recent years in terms of strikers.

Anyway, let’s see what Bulut and Co can conjure up in the coming days. The club is said to be trying to bring another striker in before the window closes.

Midfield recruitment hasn't been great. Was Siopis really needed. Why was Wintle given a new deal and not forgetting Andy Rinomhota given a 3 year deal.

We can look at weaknesses throughout our team, but for me the glaring weakness is our midfield. It's been like it for years and never properly addressed.

I couldnt agree more. Tanner and Colwill were outstanding when played in their correct positions. Also Tanner had Kpakio behind him who offers a lot more attacking support than Ng (although Perrys a better defender).

The fact is some of our attacking players suffer because of the system we play, rather than a lack of ability.

I haven’t seen a game where I’d describe Tanner as outstanding

No surprises with the selection.

Disappointing again as Rinomhota on the bench ahead of King again.

No sign of McGuinness. Must be on his way.

Also, no Reindorf on the bench.

As expected really

All well and good for this game away to very good opposition

I wish we just wouldn’t line up like this on more matched games

Looks like it really disappointing.

The youngest players in City’s starting line-up are Willock and Kanga - both 26.

And no King but Rino again. Kings another who should look to move on under this manager.

Can't see any positives with Kanga and Meite coming in.

Looks like a "cling on to Burnley's coat-tails for as long as we can" side, but that'll go out of the window when we're 2 down at half time.

Anyone under the age of 28 would be better off moving on.

Didn't think Burnley were that poorly supported

:hide:

A typical Bulut selection, he was never influenced by what happened in a cup match when it came to selection for the next game last season and he isn’t being this one at the moment.

I think we will get something today. We are strangely good away.

However even if we do then its a shame such a negative message has been sent to the youngsters once again not even being on the bench. Its getting tiring. And a 4 0 victory wont make me feel any more positive.

Let's face it he's not changing. We'd almost certainly lose anyway today so hopefully his hand is forced for Swansea away.
