I did. You MUST have read it as you mentioned it in YOUR post 🙄
It was a bit better but not Barcelona. Does that help? 🤷*♂️

Talking of which, ironically, the moron who abused me at Burnley last season was sitting just in front of me today.
Still wearing the same Wales track suit top.
Deeply unpleasant person.

Just checking with Mike Morris to see if it is OK for me to start a new thread or will I be banned for gross message board misconduct.

It really is QUITE simple.
In trying to make a point people often use comparisons, sometimes exaggerated, to make their point.
(This is really pretty simple grammatical technique and something that you MIGHT have picked up in Primary School)
Anyway, as you are struggling with this, I am just saying that today was better football but not markedly so.
So we should be pleased but try to keep this in context.

Re: FT: CHARLTON 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Far more enjoyable to watch today, nice to see us play a bit and definitely looked threatening up front for a change second half.
Draw fair result but it could’ve gone either way.
Defence is concerning though, Charlton looked like they were going to score everytime they went forward.
Although it’s better to see us play with a bit of vigour for a change, we need to remember this was a Charlton team ravaged by injuries as well.

I think playing a new way with 5 days training isn’t going to see us come out solid defensively, definitely loads to work on I agree but some positives too.

I can understand people being positive about some of the football given the dire stuff served up this season by Warnock, but it has to be considered that Charlton were missing nine or ten players and had another carried off.
The lad who came on for them in midfield during the second half was recalled from a loan spell at Ebbsfleet this week. That puts things in perspective.
For me, the most refreshing thing was seeing someone other than Warnock on the sidelines. Harris seemed upbeat, which is a start at least. However, I just don’t think this team has anywhere near enough quality to challenge for the play-offs.

Agree with that. A balanced view of the game. Encouraging signs, but let’s keep some perspective :-)

Important not to lose away from home in first game and given our poor away form this season. Stoke won today so sets up big game for first home game.

Re: FT: CHARLTON 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Noticed Charlton had three of our Academy rejects in their side with their star Welshman International injured? Are we really Capital of Wales? Why sing our National Anthem when the our team and Manager are mainly English?

I think I need to check what the pub puts in its Coca Cola then. Because it looked like handball the 15 times I saw it.
First few looks it did look like chest as the angle showed it that way.

I think the most obvious difference today was that we tried to press the opposition higher up the pitch. It meant that we were occasionally able to win the ball back in advanced positions, but we exposed our slow back four to the ball over the top of the defence.

Hand raised to chest = handball. Ref couldn't see it, looked to the lino who gave a "me neither" indication so no penalty awarded. That said, the penalty we did get awarded clearly wasn't. As for the penalty, looking at it again, Hoillet couldn't have done worse if he'd told their keeper where it was going. He just kept looking bottom left and that's where it went. Still, we got a point. Wycombe away it is next season.

I don’t get how anyone can say it wasn’t hand ball :hehe:
Definitely a soft pen for us as well.
Can’t comment on that Hoilett miss. Bloody hell, let’s just forget it. Couldn’t Pack have taken it?

Taken what?😁
I'll have to delete that saved penalty off my phone and have hypnotherapy to forget it. I was right in line, behind the goal, thinking "clever" as Hoilett stared bottom left. Send the keeper the wrong way...he's going top right....nope. Come back Joe.

Re: FT: CHARLTON 2 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Etheridge 6/10

Prior 0/10
Peltier 6/10
Pack - 7/10
Bacuna - 6/10
Hoilett - 6/10

Bit harsh on Prior. 😷
With at least a 3
Thought you were tough on Bennett too. Thought he was decent and worth 6.
Bacuna worries me. Him and Pack together too slow in midfield. Need Ralls back, although he is not exactly speedy Gonzales.
Hoilett off the pace too, pen aside. Worth no more than 4.
NML was good in second half. Probably our man of the match. Def 7.

Is this a joke?
Etheridge 6/10 - released the ball quicker than he ever did when we had Warnock, but not great for the goals
Bennett 7/10 - I thought Bennett had his best game for a while and it was good to see him get forward. He had a hand in both goals.
Nelson 7/10 - poor for first goal but made some important blocks and tackles. Could’ve got sent off though..
Flint - 4/10 - I’d rather Morrison than flint. I’m hoping to see bamba and nelson most though
Peltier 6/10 - gets done for pace too easily. Would like to see Coxe
Pack - 7/10 - we’re a better team with him in it
Bacuna - 6/10 - didn’t play too bad. But we missed Ralls energy
Hoilett - 6/10 - should never take a penalty again
Mendez Laing - 7/10 - thought he was a constant threat
Paterson 4/10 - didn’t do anything really
Madine 6/10 - when he gets a bit sharper I think he could prove a few doubters wrong with the new manager. Wanted him to take the pen
Tomlin 8/10 - changed the game - would love him to be a regular starter
Bogle - 6/10 should’ve won it for us, but he is a handful.

According to whoscored.com we completed around 35% more short passes in this game compared to our season average up to that point.

....mainly across the back. Turn the pitch 90 degrees and around 20% of the 35% would have gone forward! Still plenty for New Neil to work on.
