I'm pretty sure we need to build the team around the Colwill, Robinson, Tanner axis. That's a really sound base to start developing positively. For me, it's time to add Reindorf to test him out and the addition of Daland and Fish when available could strengthen us even more. In all much more positivity today!
Colwill, I can't remember a better performance by a City player in a long time.
is it fair to say that this team really didn't like Bulut and engineered his removal..?
no, Bulut would never have played this starting line up, or had them pressing as aggressively or attacking so directly.Quote:

it's still the same group of players though, and none of them put this much effort in prior to his removal.Quote:

Bloody hell. What's happening? 🙂🙂🙂
Did they forget it was an early KO I wonder?!Quote:

Celebrating a shot on target like they just won the game.
That was a lot of fun.
Please don’t make us wait one whole year for another performance like that.
Unbelievable result!
Looks like we've got one hell of a player in Robertson.
Well that was exciting. I forgot what it waskme watching entertaining football.
The midfield three were excellent and I thought everyone was brilliant all around.
Colwill MOM he was just a different class.
What a joy that was to watch!
The match began with a few warning signs after a decent spell from Cardiff, as Plymouth somehow cut through our defence and midfield with ease. Thankfully, Obafemi couldn’t finish. But once Cardiff clicked, there was no looking back. Robertson’s beautifully placed opener, set up by Colwill’s patient play to create the space, gave us the breakthrough we needed.
Watching Robinson, Colwill, and Tanner in full flow is something else. Their sharp passing and movement created chance after chance, keeping Plymouth’s defence on the back foot. And that was all before Ng, in typical fashion, managed to provoke Cissoko into a red card, adding to the drama.
At half-time, I feared Riza might take a cautious, defensive approach, but he kept the pressure on. Cardiff continued to press forward, never letting Plymouth off the hook as they pushed for more goals.
Even after the substitutions, Cardiff didn’t let up. Yes, they were against 10 men, but it’s been so long since we’ve seen our team really go for it like this and come away with a scoreline that truly reflected the performance.
For me, Robertson stood out today, keeping things tight in midfield and always driving us forward. And Colwill, once again, showed just how wrong Bulut was not to put his trust in him. If he keeps this form going into the international break, it would be a shock if Bellamy doesn’t include him in the squad.
On to the next one, and if performances like this keep coming, I might just stop questioning the decision to stick with Riza. From 1 point in 6 to 7 in 4, he’s done a remarkable job lifting this team!
put a decent dent in our negative goal difference today, we needed it.
Fair play Riza. I wasn't sure about a couple of his selections today but it certainly worked. Completely different mindset from a few weeks ago. Great to see.
Agree. I had sunk into the 'glass half-empty' mindset. Now, with the addition of Daland, Fish, and some minutes for Reindorf, there seems to be light at the end of the tunnel.Quote:

I’ve experienced a strange ‘feeling today.
I watched an entertaining football match, admiring my team’s performance, and at no point did I silently scream at our ineptitude.
Even Kanga generated a “laugh out loud” moment, rather than a “throw your hands up in despair” moment.
Am I going to be the first to ask? My memory is shot to s**t, when did we last score five?
I can remember beating Oxford 5-0 in 1970-71 and I was there when we put 8 past Ebbw Vale.
Apparently Rotherham in 2017 remember sticking six on derby one game at the new stadium before thatQuote:
