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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
