It wasnt smash and grab. We were well worthy of the 2 nil at half time and saw the 2nd out comfortable enough.

I’m no too having that.
We could not have argued if that was 2-2 or they beat us on the second half.
Their keeper has made one cracking save and had nothing else to do.
Our’s has made 3-4 good ones.

Didn’t think we would get much tonight. Great win. Game of 2 halves tonight but will take the 3 points all day.

What a shift. Rattled them first half, dug deep in the second. Every man stood firm. Love it!
Now, how do we clone Keiffer Moore?

Re: FT: AFC BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
13 men of the match in my opinion.

Re: FT: AFC BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Wow. Really worried until they started panicking and lumped the ball forward a bit more! Moore fantastic, Phillips was immense and to be honest, they're all playing well. Let's hope they keep it up!

Sorry peeps, but for me it was spoilt in the last few minutes.
Great workman like performance from every player, but i'm a traditionalist. I cannot stand this short corner/free kick shit.
We would have wasted more time by taking a normal corner/free kick, with the added fact, that WE MAY HAVE SCORED.
Play the game boys please, this pissing around is futile AND BORING

So a brilliant 2 - 1 away win against a side tipped for autos and who weve just replaced in the play offs is spoilt because we took a short corner.
Priceless.

Only Man City have won 6 on the bounce across the four leagues. Arguably, City top the list on goals scored as GD is the same.

Re: FT: BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Fantastic win, you could see the energy levels visibly dropping in the last 20 minutes but the team kept their shape and kept working incredibly hard. Yes Pack made a mistake but it was high up the pitch and overall he had a good game . Though I was a bundle of nerves watching it on reflection we did see out the last 5- 10 mins of the game quite comfortably.
Moore did look shattered but I don’t think we can take him off as he’s such a powerful outlet for us and as already said as long as he’s scoring and we’re winning he’ll find the energy from somewhere, just need him to avoid injury.
Funny to hear MM barking continual instructions from the touch line too
Massive win, now we’re the ones being hunted

Remarkable run of results. Must enjoy it will I can.
Well done City.

I’m with Bluetit on this one. They would have wasted more time taking a shot at goal, even ballooning it into the stand.

Bournemouths best chance of scoring was countering us if we lost our shape.
Run the clock down keep shape. Job done.

We lost the ball cheaply twice and they attacked us.
If we would have SLOWLY walked up for the corner, MORE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED.
I cannot stand this pissing about lark, play the frigging game

How many times do you see these short corners taken, 4 or 5 players fight for the ball, ending with the ref giving a free kick to the defending team.
There's a difference between, running/taking the ball to the corners of the pitch (as Moore did, when he had no support), and pissing about taking short corners.
We never had one man in their box, so their attacking players stayed forward. Futile

That's the whole point. It's not just about wasting time, it's about giving the rest of the team - who've been under constant pressure - a breather.
Besides, it's a pointless risk. If we take a short corner and lose the ball, the 9 other players in our team are still in a good defensive shape. If we send the big boys up and whip the ball in, they have to sprint 60 yards back to chase the potential counter attack.
Is the reward of winning 3-1 bigger than the risk of drawing 2-2? No. So why take it.
Even if you disagree with me, I cannot comprehend how that's "spoilt" one of our best wins of the season for you.

It doesn't waste any time and leaves their players further forward up the pitch.
I'll repeat, "when was the last time you witnessed a ref, giving the advantage to the attacking team, at one of these short corners"

I've seen attacking free kicks given after a defender goes in too hard to try and win the ball.
It's a totally rational tactic. Why on earth would you get so het up about it?
