Feel exactly the same.
That will happen though when an average to poor manager is going through the motions and some fans are telling us some plan with a view to passing football is happening.

It can’t always be the perfect team goal that’s put on a plate for you to finish, a lot of the time the work, skill and effort has to come from the individual. As I said earlier, Glatzel must be a centre back’s dream, he’s powder puff with zero aggression or battling qualities.
Agree Glatzel is simply not good enough for the money we paid for him, I just don’t see him scoring more than a handful of goals in any season . I’m not even sure he would be any more effective in leagues 1 or 2 either, he just seems to contribute so little when he plays

Waiting with baited breath for the Harris apologists to get on here and tell us what great things they saw today.
They're the first to pipe up and call out the fans who don't rate the manager when Harris manages a win.
Also can somebody tell me what Wilson produced again? One of the best in the league according to some.

Afternoon mate. It's a mixture of that and also Covid football which hasn't excited me one bit. I've watched one 90 minutes since March

It's all a bit weird.
It is hard enough not cracking up in these testing times without City being gash.

This. I didn't even set the alarm and was mildly irritated when I woke up, looked at my watch and saw it was 5 minutes before kick-off. I stayed in bed for another 20 minutes.

Not just Tomlin. There's a lethargy about us, a lack of urgency. I don't think Tomlin would do much for us at the moment. Several times I saw Pack today holding onto the ball with absolutely no movement going on ahead of him. We talk of Pack slowing down our game but he often hasn't got an adventurous or forward pass worth trying.
We don't inject enough pace into our attacks so we don't turn defenders. Why don't we start games on the front foot? We did when we went on our winning run.
There's been talk of late about how patient fans would be if we changed our style and didn't get results. Change of style and way of playing or not, much of that was slow, ponderous shite, regardless of how much possession we had.

Was Bagan playing left back or in the centre?

That’s what my post implied. A multi million pound striker at this level shouldn’t have to totally rely on systems or being put through one on one, he should be capable of making things happen for himself, turning half chances into goals, bullying defenders into mistakes. The team goals where he’s put in one on one are all well and good but battling your bollocks off to create things yourself is a more likely way for a striker in our system to succeed. Unfortunately Glatzel does not battle, bully, harass, intimidate, fight at all, if it was Mark Harris, a more or less rookie, you’d tend to forgive and understand but a striker that cost what he did and obviously with a wage in ratio to his fee it pisses me off. Not his fault we got shafted into signing him but we had our pants pulled down big time, tucked up completely.

I'm with you on that Mike, always something I really look forward to.

It's alright.
The three wise men are on the case as we speak via WhatsApp.

I know what you mean but I’m not too bothered this season. It was important for Cardiff to win today as your season now looks like petering out. We had that sort of season last year where it’s all a bit dull. You were due a quiet season and this time around when we can’t attend matches is probably the best time to have one of those quiet seasons.

That is it unfortunately.
Screams of a panic buy having chased our tails and messing up other targets during that window.
A player is also worth what we are willing to pay for him. Neil and the three amigos thought he was worth it so that is what was paid.

He would have gone last weekend if we were planning to change the manager in January.

Or is it another ploy from the club to spend a little less.
Sack Harris towards the end of the window then play the 'we would have loved to give him cash but he simply has run out of time' card.

Re: FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Don't think we needed a cup run this year but still another frustrating afternoon. Glad Bagan, Phillips, Harris got more minutes; Bennett didn't look totally out of place, albeit it wasn't the hardest afternoon after conceding; and some of our youth team got the experience of suiting up for a senior game.
Things should pick up after the Norwich game but annoyingly not before then.

In these shite times we’re looking for anything to spice up our life, it annoys me more than bothers me after watching that though.

Re: FT: NOTTINGHAM FOREST 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
At the moment we don't have a right back, we don't have a second centre back, we don't have a spare midfield player and we don't have a spare striker. But we have 5 wide men (Wlson, Murphy, Holiett, Ojo and Whyte) and three left backs!!!

My thoughts are that we need a new manager soon, to enable him to take a good look at the playing staff, the way we play etc., before trying to change some of the staff/style in the summer.
This season is already over so hanging onto Harris to the end makes little sense.

Left back and I thought he did well. True, he wasn’t tested much defensively, but he played a few passes which actually found team mates in space high up the pitch - it wasn’t his fault that nothing came of them.
