FT: SUNDERLAND 0 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[Nobody's Rep]

Someone should have told him we were playing away!

Needs to sign the papers to sell the club

[2b2bdoo]

And going off behind the goal rather than taking the slow walk across the pitch when we are trying to kill the game. Unprofessional and well as rubbish.

I know what you mean, he could have done something to waste time, although didn’t they bring in a rule they have to leave the pitch at the nearest point. I think ODowda did the same. Ojo didn’t get the Memo lol

[Tuerto]

I'm trying to find positives about the lad and agree with the point you make.

Their back three had a field day playing around him because he had little, if any, support.

I don't think he would have been a starter, but if he was then the story may have been different.

That said he's had enough chances to impress, and has failed to show what he can do.

He had a half-decent loan spell in League 1 at MK Dons up to the end of December last year scoring 6 goals.

Perhaps, as many have said, he's not good enough (for Cardiff City) at this level.

He was put there to hold onto the ball, buying that little bit of time where support would get to him. We can blame Hudson a bit for putting him in that position, because he is utterly shit at this level(Watters) He wasn't strong, didn't look interested, didn't work hard across the line etc. Yeah. it's a shit show of a role to play, but he didn't want to know, i'd **** him off on Monday if i was Hudson, tell him to stay home. playing like that is cheating your team mates.

[BLUETIT]

Nice to see people noticing how shite Ojo is !

I said it in August !!!!!

Never a footballer

Yes, I’m coming to that conclusion and his attitude didn’t look great today, but I do think that all of the strikers we’ve had at the club in recent years would have found the role he was given today a tough one - albeit plenty of them would have made a better job of it than he did.

Great news

Just checked and it looks like rests after 19 games

Hudson confirmed kipre is suspended

[Moodybluebird]

It did work. We won. 1-0 away at Sunderland, a place we traditionally lose at. Alsop had very little to do second half and we defended well. Possession stats mean nothing.

A place we traditionally lose at ? The last 8 games there we've won 4, drawn 1 and lost 3.

[D. Advocaat]

Hudson confirmed kipre is suspended

That's a big loss and not sure how we'll set up without him- he was superb today.

And i wouldn't have thought that Tradition would have anything to do with it either.

[Des Parrot]

Some credit to Sparky Harris, superb movement for the goal getting the wrong side & cleverly pulling wide, brilliant ball to find him.

He needs to go Bob. He's stealing a living with us and will do well somewhere else but as a pro footballer at Cardiff City he's appalling. I wanted him to do well (as I would I all of our players) and defended him a bit longer than I should have but no more.

I would say this though, I feel the standard of professional football in The Championship is pretty poor right now and is for the hardcore fans. Most of the matches I've seen elsewhere (not the highlights, they're deceptive) on TV I really wouldn't have wanted to pay to see or travel to as I just don't think there are enough exciting players in the division anymore.

The championship is poor in my opinion. Burnley are top and not particularly good. I don't think that watters is right, Zohore wasn't either. He didn't want to know today. He needs to go. I wouldn't be surprised to hear in the next week or so that he is paid up.

Those bloody refs eh?!

[Tuerto]

doesn't matter.

can you imagine a peak Zohore in this team, he'd have had a hatful today

[Former Labour leader]

We were excellent in the first half with our pace and movement. All that was missing was a goal.
Robinson back Tuesday, with another striker we could easily get top 6. This is a very average division. Anyone can beat anyone.

imagine Chopra or McCormack!

If there wasn't any emotional investment and I'm glad we got the 3 points because I think we deserved to win, I wouldn't be champing at the bit to watch Sunderland play again.

I did see those two Ched Evans goals for Preston last night which were excellent though but the rest of the match was hard work.

I think we are some way off a top 6 side at the moment

[NYCBlue]

Yes, he’s off to see Goldie Lookin Chain at the Tramshed

He's got a ****in' shell suit cape. Like Batman.

[UNDERHILL1927]

I think we are some way off a top 6 side at the moment

Waaaaay off. Another striker and midfielder and we’re top ten

[2b2bdoo]

Waaaaay off. Another striker and midfielder and we’re top ten

I’m not so sure, probably a centre back, midfielder and 2 strikers.

[Pedro de la Rosa]

Waaaaay off. Another striker and midfielder and we’re top ten

In other seasons, maybe. We are 14th now, 4 points off 10th with one striker and zero creative centre mids…
