Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN: Match thread
It was a case of "after the Lord Mayor's show" which, in hindsight, should come to no-ones surprise. Pissing down and already safe so the match means nothing and then 3 players injure themselves (Etete, Kipre and Ralls) the match was literally useless to use.
Only good thing to come from it is if Lamouchi does stay then he's seen which players can and can't be trusted. Ojo, Simpson and a few others could be replaced by youngsters from the youth team and nothing of value would be lost.

But it's nothing new for some of the fans on this board to like to put our own young Welsh players down, it's bizarre.
I'm really hoping both Colwill and Davies have better treatment from whomever is our manager next season.

I find him so frustrating despite his talent
He’s not Ronaldo

Probably his only mistake all game and that's what you decide to focus on, I know you don't rate him but come on. He played well and only focusing on what he did wrong (when there were plenty of others who were shit) is bizarre.
Any pro says decision making comes with experience so it's hardly a shock that a guy who never gets a run of games doesn't have perfect dexision making

Absolutely amazing that after watching the starting eleven (apart from Etete) and Kaba produce that go through the motions garbage, we seem to be having yet another Colwill debate.

So what was your view when Philogene did exactly the same thing?

Colwill was a bright spot in utter abysmalness (is that a word? 🤣)
As said above we need a manager who can get the best out of the likes of Colwill and Davies.

Philogene is levels above Colwill

He’s always done that
He goes for the Hollywood pass or the shot to nothing and people go wild because of the once in a blue moon it comes off?
What would Pep say if one of his players did that in stoppage time?
He gets a free pass because he’s a Welsh homegrown
Anyway I do think he should start in front of Ojo who’s awful, but the whole squad worries me for next season

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN: Match thread
Manager, coaching, tactics are not up to scratch. You can blame the players as much as you like but the buck stops with the manager. We need a thorough overall and find a system/ strategy for the long term. This Club isn’t a political party with short term fixes, or is it at this time?

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN: Match thread
Well that was a real season ticket seller. 2 wins in 15 home games. If they are capable of so many abysmal performances at home, especially of late, can we have any faith that this manager is the answer ?

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 HUDDERSFIELD TOWN: Match thread
I just woke up. 10:25am! I haven't slept that late in years. However, I was up at 4:30am for about 30 minutes and up at 7am for the game.

Hold on.
He was only for 20 mins or so and did more than anyone else to trouble Huddersfield. And people pick up on a wayward shot at the end? At least he had the confidence to have a go even if it probably wasn’t the right choice at the time.
To me anyway he looked to be the only player capable of making something happen when he came on.

The tactics didn’t work
The line up didn’t work

I wouldn’t have picked on him if it wasn’t for the usual posts calling him the messiah.
He’s no better or worse than any of the others and I don’t think he warrants a start over our strongest XI
But I also don’t understand leaving Ojo on for 90 mins
Wasn’t people saying Colwill was playing rubbish because his confidence is ‘shot’. You can’t have it both ways.
Let’s not just focus on that it was a comment against people saying we should build a team around him
The long and short of it is we really need to find a replacement for Philogene and Kipre as we don’t have one in the squad who can step up

I'm not judging him on the Huddersfield game alone. His decision making is poor and he doesn't seem to see the simple, more effective, option.

Always been our problem
We can get big gates , Cardiff and its catchment area is big
But many seem to be big time match goers

It's obvious.
The facts show our support , given how big Cardiff is , for both home and away games isn't very good

That’s simply not true for this season though.
The last four home games has resulted in nearly 25,000 fans per match
