For fekc's sake
Pack far too slow to react but what a strike
Bloody hell. When we seemed to be going for it we concede
At least Harris won’t be able to say we’re unbeaten away anymore.
Mark Harris is coming on. About a minute to do something
We created next to nothing. They scored 3 goals from open play and in the first half created a lot of chances. We didn't really deserve a draw.
It's not good enough. **** knows what system we're trying to play. He's brought in Moore to get on the ball and bring wide players into the game and it just isn't happening. A midfield that is limited in every respect and a manager who reacts to what the other team is doing, not willing to have a go at it from the off. How are we supposed to overload the final third if we don't commit players forward? to many players lok uncomfortable on the ball, taking one touch to many etc, killing the move. It's utter shit. Harris needs to sort himself out and rapid, the worry is that he doesn't have the ability to change.
The complete inadequacy of our midfield at this level is obvious game after game. I've watched 4 Championship teams this weekend - Coventry, Reading, Norwich and Bristol City. They're far from brilliant, but it's like watching another league. We play like an over 50's side - an over 50's side who can't control a football..
Yup, it really is poor, rickety, uncomfortable, slow, awkward. I don't rate Vaulks, he's poor, Pack doesn't give enough ad is slow to react, Ralls is Ralls, Bacuna is good for a big mistake every couple of games and really struggles to play a fluid game, just like the rest of them.

Need I say more?
Bluebird 23 has just fired up the laptop.
I wasn't keen on his appointment but prepared to keep my gob shut for a bit in order to give him some time and a chance to put his stamp on the team. The biggest issue for me is performance. We don't play well and we can't keep on getting away with it, as we're seeing now. Last season we won quite a few games and the performance was shit. Tomlin papered over the cracks with some brilliance. I've had a **** full of cautious football, an unwillingness to show some creativity. We've had it for far to long. Problem is we don't have anyone at the club who understands football.
That second half once again showed we look better when we go for it, Harris is being far too cautious and it may cost him his job
We can all disagree with managerial decisions and I will happily accept that as a fan, albeit one who has watched countless hours of Cardiff City, I am rarely in a position to criticise someone who has achieved the position of professional football manager in the Championship. So I say little, about this at any rate.
However, how it could possibly be thought that playing Ralls, whom we need in the middle of the park, in that number 10 role while leaving the vital midfield roles to Pack and Vaulks, could be sensible is truly beyond me.
I am absolutely against knee-jerk reactions with managers, but I must admit my knee is jiggling.
As i've got older, i've tried to reign in the criticism. I can't do that anymore. I agree with you about Ralls, Vaulks and Pack are a problem, they're not quick enough in thought or possession. Harris is way to cautious,to me, that looks like he doesn't trust his players.
Tavio d'Almeida can't be any worse than Will Vaulks.
Vaulks played well when surrounded by Ralls and Bacuna last year and we were hitting sides on the break. Playing him next to Pack is a way of seeing the worst of both of them and Vaulks is struggling this year.
