Lol. He didn’t have his best game did he?
I can be hard though coming on as a late sub, if you are being charitable though :-)

That was awful. We never looked like scoring the the second half.

Pity we can't do it at this crucial stage though! The passing is absolutely woeful but then Fulham so much quicker to the ball I suppose, didn't give us time to react most of the time.

Definite pen. Ref was a homer tonight. We didn't get anything from him. Plenty of their players with cynical petulant tackles and professional fouls went unpunished. Felt as if Hector had about six bookable offences and only got the one relatively late on.

Good performance apart from the dead balls which is a bit of a problem. Mitrovic dived for the pen but nelson handball was clearly the wrong decision so meh. Their 2nd goal was a good quality move.
Just got to hope and pray everyone else ****s up tomorrow and sunday now.

Enough to beat us anyway. Much quicker to the ball, slicker, more accurate passing.

How Hector stayed on was amazing should have been a second booking but nothing

Re: FT: FULHAM 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Said it a few times this season but on my limited viewings the city have been distinctly mid-table. I’m surprised we’re in a PO spot at this stage.
Credit to Harris for his record so far with what he’s got to play with. Although I’ve heard a couple commentators now say there’s strength in depth in the squad, it still feels a little rag tag on the pitch. Not to reignite the Patterson upfront chestnut (gives it his all and nets a few) but it feels a short term, makeshift solution. I couldn’t tell you now if he’s any cop in his “natural” position.
Leeds, WBA, Brentford, and maybe Fulham now the season is reaching its conclusion, have been a cut above (although saying that, the top two faltered for periods). Below that it feels a bit of a much of a muchness.

I keep reading how good Sanderson is yet every game ive seen (which isnt all) im unimpressed. although a harsh pen.

Beyond the current back 4 there's not much depth defensively. Well actually beyond Morrison and Nelson there's not much quality defensively

Really? Obviously, he had a mare tonight, even before he conceded the penalty, but I think he's played well for us until now. It will be interesting to see how he responds in his next match.

We've got quite a big squad, but it's lopsided. We've got four centre-backs, but only two proper full-backs (Bacuna is just a makeshift right-back and Harris clearly doesn't rate Brad Smith). We've got four wingers and three strikers, but only one attacking midfielder.

Pretty much spot on.
Mid table.

Re: FT: FULHAM 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
I often wonder how we are as high in the league as we are. I also thought that the year we went up though, so maybe we just look for faults in your own team and don’t realise others are just as average. Awful delivery this evening. The basic skills look so lacking to be a serious promotion threat. Having said that, if we win Tuesday I think we will get 6th spot.

Re: FT: FULHAM 2 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
What does everyone expect from Murphy? He came on in the 86th minute. When we were 2-0 down. I'd imagine that could be somewhat disheartening. And maybe annoying as ****.

Since they say it every time we go up I am going to say it this year. Very weak championship, every game feels like if one team plays decent they will walk it.

He was embarrassing today. A team that relies on a "tryer" that "always puts in a shift" is going nowhere.

That pretty well sums up "little ole Cardiff", oh by the way, with a billionaire owner!

There's not much out there full stop. The commentator alluded to our 'strong bench', but let's face it the squad is a jumbled assortment of lower league workhorses and a few 30-minute ponies. There's absolutely no doubting the effort and commitment and Harris is doing a good job getting the team to play the ball around a lot more, but we just don't have players who look comfortable on the ball - Tomlin excepted - and they all need one or two touches each time the ball comes to them. I watched Huddersfield lose to Luton as well yesterday. I'd actually say that in footballing terms Huddersfield have a much better squad than City. They just don't have a manager who can galvanize them into a hard-to-beat, disciplined unit. Thing is, you could develop that squad. With City's squad you'd almost have to go back to square one..

Exactly. If they're injured they can't play. But if they're on the bench they should at least be able to play 45 minutes.
