What a set of inspired substitutions from the manager.
Luton scored late on aswell.
There's still hope.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
That'll do. They wasted a lot chances and we dug in for the final fifteen. That point might be very important if we can pick up a couple of wins at home.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Our problem is we don't look like we're going to score, but we do look like we could concede at any moment.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Closer to relegation than we were before the game. And we were pretty close before!
We equalised a bit too early for my liking as they almost got the winner.
Anything earlier than last kick of the game is too early.

Stoke threw away a win by conceding in added time. Derby drew, Hull lost.
That last few minutes potentialy saved our season.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We can't defend.... or don't defend.
Wherever we end up come the end of the season - and whoever is the manager - there needs to be a summer re-build starting at the back.
Unbeaten in four and dragging this agony on to the last game. Thanks!

I'm afraid you're right. Their mid-table, nothing-to-play for side has been better than us in every position on the pitch. Some of our lot might find a career in L2 on that evidence- those are the better ones.

What id give for a prime Sol Bamba in this defence. Worst for a decade easily

I don't know what Daland was playing at for both goals. What has Bagan done wrong to be dropped for this fool

Unbeaten in four yet with each succeeding match relegation looks more likely, six points against four out of form sides with not a great deal to play for isn’t good enough.

Better than losing but are we really going to draw our way to safety? I just don't see it.
Weekend has to be a win, surely.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I feel like I'm in a Clockwork Orange being forced to watch this football as if it's propaganda on how the beautiful game should be played.
I am convinced it is inevitable that Cardiff will go down, and yet there's somehow a glimmer of hope.
Cannot wait for the next installment of Riza, the coaches and the team making a pigs ear of a performance over 90 mins - get the clamps for my eyelids out already!

The second was more O’Dowda’s fault I’d say as he was originally marking the scorer but left him in there

The second for me was a hallmark of Cardiff's defending this season. A lot of individuals out there and this is why Cardiff find themselves vulnerable to conceding goals due to individual errors. You could point out to O'Dowda leaving his man, Fish man marking whereas Daland pushed up and vacated his space. Everyone doing their own thing. Where's the coaching to promote defending as a unit? The Full Monty rendition of the Arsenal offside trap has more organisation about it

Derby get a point off Burnley, Oxford beat Sheffield United, Luton get a point off Leeds and we just seem to approach games against the top teams as free hits that we are going to lose anyway.

Yep we are 1 game away from zero points in our 8 games against the top 4 sides.
That's ridiculous.

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Just don't see where the win is coming from and yet we soldier on
Will Luton's late equaliser leave us facing a deflated Stoke or a hungry one on Saturday? That equaliser will give Luton hope as well against an out of sorts Blackburn

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I still want Riza gone tonight.
We were very lucky to draw.

Exactly. Yes the players take responsibility for not just organising themselves etc etc but it really is down to coaching and management.
Eg wolves were conceding 2 a game under o Neill and hardly conceded at all since. Is that because the quality of their players suddenly increased?

Yeah I'm surprised to see people say Luton equalising was good for us?

Re: FT: PRESTON NORTH END 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I think it's looking like we have to beat all three of Stoke, Oxford and WBA at home. I can't see Sheffield Utd yielding anything (in both senses of the word) and Norwich might prove a dead rubber
