back, square, forward 10 yards, back, square, forward 10 yards, back, square, forward 10 yards, back, square, forward 10 yards, break the cycle and find it impossible to pass to one of your teammates. Got what they deserved.

Collectively, everyone takes the blame for that. Dreadful.
I can't add any more than has already been said about riza, but a special mention for the players. No quality, absolutely none, no cutting edge. Our goal was from a set piece, we didn't create anything clear, at home, against an awful side. What does that say about our players? People need to get on their backs as well as the manager, because as poor as riza is, this lot on the pitch are piss weak, going nowhere.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LUTON TOWN. Match thread
Riza is a nice guy but he doesn't have a clue tactically. Poor team selection followed by poor subs.
Robinson cannot play as a 10, he's too slow. Willock has no pace and the Meitie sub just screamed he ran out of ideas.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LUTON TOWN. Match thread
Fair play Luton deserved that, you could see at the start their confidence is shot but that win will help. It’s going to be an exciting end to the season now, who will join us and Plymouth in the bottom three? I think Stoke will be very worried after tonight!

They won 2 0 to complete an entirely predictable night!

Stoke moved above us tonight without kicking a ball.

Re: CARDIFF CITY v LUTON TOWN. Match thread
Are any.of us really surprised, we've had league1/league2 level defenders all season, a manager appointed on the cheap and a board that should stick to selling cars, it's a shitshow from top to bottom

I wouldn't waste your energy, this has been coming for a long time. we might scrape up, but so what, it just papers over the cracks. Apathy throughout the club and in the stands, we just take it and lap up mediocrity. Something has to change.

Bunch of pussies who go missing when it really counts - Ramsey looked like he was coping with the pressure in that unbelievably bad first half and Alves injected some life, but everyone else looked scared stiff. I’m not excusing Riza because I was mystified by his substitutions, but this squad of players is really lacking in character and cannot defend for toffee.

Riza a poor manager, but you can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear. Only ones I’d retain next season would be be Salech, Colwill, Fish and Ng of the starting eleven. The rest we’ll….

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 LUTON TOWN. Match thread
Oh dear. That was not good. We're in big trouble now. Until about 5 minutes ago, I was fairly confident we would stay up.

And Ashford, although we'll end up ****ing him up as a player, just you watch.

It's nice to have you on board, Bob :hehe:

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 LUTON TOWN. Match thread
Seriously, FOUR TIMES in THREE games we've hit the bloody woodwork. And of course this time, just a moment later, Luton score. Because, naturally.
Honestly, our defense... Someone get those unforced error stats, I'm betting we're world-beaters at gifting goals. It's beyond frustrating.
Even when we show flashes, like against Burnley and Sunderland, and I allow a glimmer of hope to enter into my pessimistic "glass half empty" outlook on City's prospects, but then it's just... nothing. They can't finish, they can't defend, they can't seem to do anything right for a full 90.
I'm back for the Wednesday game, pretty much the only reason I plan to come home that particular weekend. At this point, it's less about football and more like some kind of weird exposure therapy. Maybe being surrounded by you lot will help me cope with the impending doom. Anyone else feeling like they're just watching a slow-motion car crash every week?

That first half 'performance' from our midfield, including Ramsey, Robertson and Chambers was as bad as anything I can remember- League 1 would be too good for them. Chambers flattered to deceive by getting the goal but was otherwise, like the others, a complete waste of space. On the strength of that sh*tshow, I wouldn't be surprised to see us in a relegation battle in L1 next year with this group of players.

They're just clueless, they keep doing the same things that fail them time after time.

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 1 - 2 LUTON TOWN. Match thread
I was optimistic about tonight’s game after our second half performance against Burnley but that was quickly lost after the way we started the game. What is Riza doing with his team selection and substitutions, why is O’Dowda playing at left back when, he’s much better forward and we have a decent left back in Bagan. Why take Alves off and replace him with Willock ? I know it’s hard to predict what this board will do,but if they give Riza the job, I’ll go and watch Barry Town instead and probably actually enjoy it.
We have nobody who tries to organise the team on the pitch and there seems to be a total lack of communication and understanding between the players, but that could be down to the lack of consistency in team selection.
