FT: BOURNEMOUTH 1 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Hilts]

Bournemouths best chance of scoring was countering us if we lost our shape.

Run the clock down keep shape. Job done.

[BLUETIT]

So a brilliant 2 - 1 away win against a side tipped for autos and who weve just replaced in the play offs is spoilt because we took a short corner.

Priceless.

TONE WIN THE F'ING GAME

Run the clock down keep shape. Job done.

We lost the ball cheaply twice and they attacked us.

If we would have SLOWLY walked up for the corner, MORE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN WASTED.

I cannot stand this pissing about lark, play the frigging game

Yeah, let's put the ball in the box and risk a counter attack

They did counter attack from our stupid short corner !!!!

We didn't keep our shape on the corner though.

We never had one man in their box, so their attacking players stayed forward. Futile

That's the whole point. It's not just about wasting time, it's about giving the rest of the team - who've been under constant pressure - a breather.

Besides, it's a pointless risk. If we take a short corner and lose the ball, the 9 other players in our team are still in a good defensive shape. If we send the big boys up and whip the ball in, they have to sprint 60 yards back to chase the potential counter attack.

Is the reward of winning 3-1 bigger than the risk of drawing 2-2? No. So why take it.

Even if you disagree with me, I cannot comprehend how that's "spoilt" one of our best wins of the season for you.

So you reckon I was the only person shouting "for f ucks sake" at the tele.

It doesn't waste any time and leaves their players further forward up the pitch.

I'll repeat, "when was the last time you witnessed a ref, giving the advantage to the attacking team, at one of these short corners"

I've seen attacking free kicks given after a defender goes in too hard to try and win the ball.

It's a totally rational tactic. Why on earth would you get so het up about it?

I'm not "het up", I just don't like it.

[Croesy Blue]

Between this and the offside that was a year onside last match bluetit just shows he prefers to have something to whinge about than enjoy.

can clearly see the game of two halves there.
when we were on top we were excellent though.
we didn't register a shot after the subs came on, but were able to cling on

I think the phrase 'cling on' is being less than fair to the team. Despite the constant attacking posture of Bournemouth they didn't actually threaten that much. I thought the defence was quite comfortable. Bournemouth were flattering themselves and I don't think the players were really that motivated.

I think there was a period mid way through the second half where we were clinging o a bit, but the last 10-15 minutes were pretty comfortable i agree. Once we started taking the ball into the corners etc it stopped them building any momentum.

[Croesy Blue]

Should have booted the ball into THE BIG SCREEN in my opinion
