The team’s defensive record has been its saving grace for much of the season, but there have been plenty of games where that has seemed more by luck than judgment.
Well, it's turned out to be a hammering, but hardly deserved.

Was that last goal not offside?

Made sense as Ralls could stay LWB and Romeo RWBand Ng can play as a CB.
Strange.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We've lost by at least 3 goals here.
Those are the facts.
Those that think we've played well can chalk it up on their 'played well' league table.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Cant fault the effort. Had a go. Just so many players just not good enough at this level.
Rino awful there, our keeper pathetic again.
Our transformation from set play experts to set play jokes has been some achievement though.

It isn't surprising at all.
Our threats at one point were Morrison, Moore, Flint and a few others.
We got rid of them all and replaced them with players who aren't as good at set pieces. It is no mystery.

Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We're very good at lifting teams aren't we.
Jack's were in shit form..played us.
Sunderland weren't pulling up trees.. get a win.
Sheff Utd struggling for goals.. we gift them 4.

Last two games have convinced me we’re going down
Not due to lack of desire but because we can’t play football

Tactically though why is 1 of our threats doing the annoy the keeper stuff at corners?

They're alright.
He keeps the club afloat you know.
No plan, no self awareness and no idea but he shells out monthly to run the club so can't be questioned.
We need to be thankful.

One of our threats?
How many goals has this threat scored? Just because they're tall doesn't make them a threat by default.

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Disappointing, but probably what most people were expecting. I can't see Sheff Utd staying long in the Premier, mind - they weren't that good. Some poor errors caused goals - Allsop, McGuinness - and we still struggle to score. I never thought I'd say it, but we definitely lost something when Etete went off.

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
A result and a scoreline that serves to further highlight Cardiff's inability to remain organised and switched on both individually and as a team, a trait that has cost them precious points this season. And today to rub salt in the wounds the club's half decent goal difference compared to the teams around them has taken a hit.
The manner and type of goals conceded coupled with the fact that this is a team that struggles to score goals is indicative of a team that is destined for relegation. A helping hand is there due to other teams performing as poorly as Cardiff as well as point deductions for Reading and Wigan. But if Cardiff somehow manage to avoid the drop this season, the future still appears bleak for the club and avoiding this year feels like delaying the inevitable.

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
That defeat leaves us in deep shite. Hopefully Reading do not beat league leaders and we stay 4th from bottom. Can’t see us winning again this season. Warnock will send us down.
-
Re: SHEFFIELD UTD v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I suppose one consolation is that if we play as today, stop these defensive errors and (I was going to say change the goalkeeper but Alnwick is just as bad..what is Luthra like??), we should beat Rotherham and Huddersfield..
Wonder if we need a point at Burnley will Bellamy advise a draw to them(!)

We were one point above relegation at kick off.
Did anybody expect anything from Sheffield United away?
If we go down we can all be thankful in League 1.
Then when we balls that up we can all be thankful in League 2.
Then when he finally does one we can all be thankful for where he has left us.
Vincent Tan What's The Plan?

I thought Etete struggled. Rightly taken off. Hes quick just lacks quality needed at this level at the moment.

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Wickham hitting the post was the turning point for me, that goes in and we, deservedly I thought, draw level and it’s game on. Fine margins. 21 shots to their 20, yet lose 4-1 through daft, schoolboy errors. VAR maybe would have ruled out their fourth, seemed like a couple of handballs. Bollocks!!!!!!

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I dread to think how many goals we've conceded this season because of absolutely catastrophic defending. It's going to cost us.

Re: FT: SHEFFIELD UTD 4 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Beginning of the season would have said Allsop was an average Championship keeper. He actually seems to have got progressively worse as the season goes on. He's now a rank liability - should have stopped the 1st, missed the ball for the 3rd, and jumped into thin air for their 4th. He is utter garbage.

Could have claimed the second - glued to his line

Agreed about Sheffield United, nothing special at all, but they took maximum advantage of the fact that N’Diaye was too quick for two of our defenders - the strange decision to play O’Dowda in a role I’m pretty sure he’s never filled in his life didn’t help either.

You can pretend all is well and changing a manager will somehow work wonders.
Think what you like. I think what I do and have plenty of evidence publicly available for thinking what I do.
People can blame the players that we've brought in and the manager in the hot seat at the time if they like. That's their issue.

Im not convinced about Lamouchi tactically at all.

I’m not pretending all is well, if we survive this season, we’re going down soon if the club continues to be run as it is, but it’s not all down to just one man.
Basically, I agree with you, but I reckon your obsession is damaging your cause.

:hehe:
Yeah Lamouchi picked himself didn't he.
He also messed about with an experiment of putting two managers with zero experience in actually managing for large chunks of the season too.
I blame the decision makers at the club, yes.
Vincent Tan says he will leave the club in a better position than when he came in. How do you suggest he does that if he thinks the way to achieve that is to spend ever decreasing amounts on absolutely awful players, putting us into an embargo and picking any manager that the manager wheel of fortune falls on in the boardroom?
He will leave us high and dry in League 2 the way things are going.
We are in a tailspin and people think we might challenge in League 1 if we go down. Don't make me laugh. Let's blame the latest manager that our incompetent board have picked though.
I hope the Tan apologists can look themselves in the mirror when he leaves us with a shell of what this club once was.

We were in the game for 70 mins and that was far better than the garbage served up against Sunderland.
Catastrophic defending did for us in the end. (all of the goals were poor defending - I can’t even explain their 2nd, 3rd and 4th)
I feel for O’Dowda coming on at left centre back. With Simpson a liability surely Romeo should have come on and put Ng as one of the 3 centre backs?
