Welsh home grown players are always going to be treated differently to those who aren't from the local area, i get that, but there has to be balance, and these players can't just be defended because of where they were born, which happens a lot. Oddly enough, Ashford hasn't had the same treatment, much more balanced approach on all sides.
I think a couple of them have, but I wouldn't call the stick that Harris got and Colwill gets (increasingly) as counter arguments to be honest, some of it gets quite nasty on social media in particular
I think its natural that younger players get talked up a bit, but I also think a large part of why they're talked up is that no one has ever actually seen them play aside from a few snippets. Look at the treatment Reindorf got and Simic is getting, neither of those are Welsh or have come through our system but they're the saviours apparently, we see the same thing with players being out injured, nothing is better for a player's perceived ability than some time out of the side

I don't think that Colwill gets much of a mention on here anymore, i don't have social media (is this social media?) so i'll take your word for it on those platforms, and i can well believe you, vile platforms that encourage vile behaviour.
Completely agree with you about injured players and Reindorf, that poor bugger was a victim of the kanga affect :hehe: although it's plain to see, as it was during his brief appearances, that he has plenty of work to do. I think O' dowda's valuation went up for every week he was out injured.... :hehe:

At the time there were fans who weren’t too fussed on Toshack.

Luton charge to safety continues.
100% certain we are mathematically if we don't win today.
99% we are down anyway even if we do win so not much to get excited about people.

two wins required (on the bounce) when we've only won a handful of games all season and still relying on other results is pretty grim, and not a position we should've found ourselves in..

We have survived off the misfortune of others for a few years now and that can’t continue forever.
We actually have to win some games like those around us are doing.
And we haven’t so will rightly be relegated.
This season has been utterly pathetic. And everyone needs to take some of the blame.

Remember those days a few months ago when fans looked at Luton and Plymouth and used expressions like "well that's two relegation spots taken"?
It is utterly, utterly pathetic to find ourselves below them both.
Our relegation is 100% deserved.

i hear that loud and clear, hope the players do too, hang there heads in shame, or maybe cant fault them as they were not cut out for this level in the 1st place, but some players have a good turn of foot and should have done much better
perhaps we can get back to winning some games in L1

Agreed. Embarrassing. The club should be ashamed of themselves.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v W.B.A. Match thread
This is a team that was not built to survive a relegation fight. They've had chance after chance to dig themselves out of this and failed to take every one of them. They haven't even made a decent go of it. Out with a whimper indeed.

Wonder if the trust or FAB will be allowed to say anything by the club now relegation half hour away.
