FT: PRESTON NE 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Joe Gillis]

How on earth can you be this angry when the team you support is deservedly winning an away game?

I'm delighted were winning, frustrated at our inability to create anything through our midfield, the football we play is awful.

The football for our winner was wonderful, paralysed Preston, brilliant break from defence, intelligent play with and without the ball by Moore and a superb finish.

It was nice. But it was only about 6 seconds of the game.

After 25 minutes or so we rarely put a sequence of passes together. Our squad/team is built to defend first and foremost, and I do struggle to work out where Wilson fits into this team. I would like to think Harris is going to get City to play the ball to feet - into spaces - a lot more, but we have a significant number of players who find passing the ball accurately rather difficult. A good win though, and maybe against Bournemouth on Wednesday we'll see City get a bit more time and space..

I agree with you. I know this might sound extremely harsh on Nelson, but I'd bring in Benkovic. We defend by throwing bodies/limbs in the way but very little in the way of measured passing from the back, Benkovic would give us that. Hopefully, he would be that link to Wilson and then, well.....

I quite agree and yet people say that we play MORE football now than under Warnock....🤷*♂️

It was a functional win which I’m sure that we are all very pleased with. That doesn’t mean that you/one can’t still be objective.
