FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 0 HULL CITY. Match thread

Riza was right when he said we did not keep possession well enough, but I don’t think anyone can say we were lucky to win as Hull were surprisingly powder puff up front when you consider that they went to Sheffield United and won 3-0 and also scored three against Leeds. We had a side a long way short of our strongest eleven and yet we defended far better than we have done all season and were the team that looked more likely to score.

A big shout has to go to our 2 centre halves last night. Ng was outstanding and Fish at last looked like he could be a good signing with a really good display.

O Dowda as well for me it was between him and Ng for man of the match.

It was really no suprise that we struggled to hold the ball. I thought Chambers started well closing down and putting pressure on Hull but looked a bit of a passenger well before half time and had to be subbed unfortunately Robertson just couldn't get into the game either and 2nd half Rinos had a bit of a mare after a decent showing 1st half.

We could really have done with Ralls last night as an option from the bench again or Ramsey. But both injured. Maybe Colwill or Wintle should have been recalled to give us more options.

Ashford another good game. Bellamy should look at calling him up.

All that matters last night though is 3 points.

I think we'll stay up with nowhere near 51 points.

yeah agree I think Ng MOTM just shaded from O'dowda.

they got nothing out of O'dowda until the last 20 or so minutes when he started to fade a bit, understandably.

I'd be surprised if Ashford doesn't make the next Wales squad

Based on last nights performance I think there is a good argument for the NG/Fish combination to continue considering we have struggled this season keeping clean sheets

:thumbup:

Be surprised if bigger teams aren't tracking him as well. He's clearly got something and is built for the modern game, good on the ball, excellent work rate at both ends of the field and pacy. And unusually for a Cardiff player over the last 5-6 years decisive in the final third.

So what would you have done? Told the team to score more goals? Go to tiki-taka mode? Something to get Hull less than zero goals?
