Re: FT: COVENTRY CITY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

Danny Gabbidon is right - what do Cardiff City do if teams handle our physicality and aerial prowess? What is our plan B?

We haven't got one. Funnily enough neither have our last three managers.

Route one physicality and playing for territory, set pieces and throw ins. Repeat, even when it is clearly not working. That has been the case under Warnock, Harris and McCarthy.

Having watched that nonsense...City weren't even better than Coventry at jumping in the air.

Succinctly put!

He'll probably congratulate the team for only conceding one and being unlucky not to nick a draw.

Time to **** the back 3 off. Or put some lads in there that can get the ball into midfield.

Maybe Pack instead of any one of the three.
But then we have the choice of Vaulks, Bacuna and Ralls.

It’s grim!

Aren't they under instruction from McCarthy? Wouldn't make any difference if Pack was in there.

Nelson was especially poor this evening.

Bloody crap.

No tactics
No composure

He can't play.

I thought Pack did ok first half, NG was a threat on a few occasions, lovely cross for Collins’ debacle, Phillips didn’t have a lot to do, very good save with his feet late on though. The rest, dear me, Morrison looked like he had lead weights in his boots. Flint wins his fair share of tackles, comes away with the ball, then aims for a ball boy or a steward. Nelson, well, Nelson was just there. Poor, poor performance.

Coventry are a decent side, we are a mid table team, with a few inexperienced youngsters who are going to be inconsistent as they gain experience. Surely nobody is surprised by this result.

The more I see some of the kids the more I think they are being picked out of necessity due to cost cutting than any well thought out plan.

Tan has said he isn't spending any money, that Mick has to play the kids and Mick is doing that in the only system he knows how. Hoofball.
It will wreck quite a few of them.

That doesn't excuse the tactics we play.

Of course we are cost cutting. If we still had parachute payments there's no way we'd be playing this many kids. But we don't, as so here we are.

Im not sure if you are referencing the point that I made about Bagan’s positioning, but having a player who can be somewhat composed and pass the ball will surely help with his options at the least.
