Match Thread Cardiff City (A)

[clint van damme]

should have done better there shippers

 

[lord_garrincha]

Moore showing Shipley how to header!

 

[Esoterica]

Missing Hamer's dynamism, just seems a bit predictable

Should have had a penalty

Exactly. Loads of possession but the stat is misleading. Fadz to Hyam to Kane to Hyam to Fadz to Rose to Bidwell to Rose to Fadz to Rose, 30 metre chip down the line and hope we catch a break from it. Cardiff just sitting back and crowding out the midfield options.

 

[Nick]

Shipley has to do much better with that header.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Cant understand how anyone cant see that the second one was definitely a penalty

I think most people were moaning about the dive for the first one. I think that probably had an effect on the referee when it came to making a decision for the second too.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

2nd was a penalty but probably wasn’t given due to him flopping in thin air 3 seconds prior

 

[Nick]

How come Bidwell is marking flint?

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Why does Bidwell always mark the tallest players on corners or is it them going to him on the zonal defense we play on those

 

[Nick]

They are making an early change up front.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Bidwell has very evil eyes.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Hugill coming on

 

[Seymour_East]

Mcfadzean has been poor so far as has Rose

Based on what exactly?

 

[clint van damme]

strange that, is Waters injured?

 

[better days]

Max Waters must be well pissed off to be hooked so early

 

[Grendel]

2nd was a penalty but probably wasn’t given due to him flopping in thin air 3 seconds prior

which isn’t in any rule book and Mcsheffrey dived game after game and won penalties - if it was a dive it wiukd have been a yellow card against O Hare

 

[Jamesimus]

Liked that little fake to shoot but pass it out wide instead from Allen then. Not our style to shoot really.

 

[chiefdave]

Must be a tactical switch as they're saying he's not injured.

 

[Nick]

strange that, is Waters injured?

Didnt look it.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Bidwell has very evil eyes.

I surprised you can see them as his head always seems fixated to the ground.

 

[ccfc92]

We are aware we don't need to string passes all the way to Bidwell on every attack right?

 

[Nick]

Doesnt look happy being dragged off in the first half.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Liked that little fake to shoot but pass it out wide instead from Allen then. Not our style to shoot really.

It was a weird decision given the lack of presence in the box, great shooting chance

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Bidwell having a much better game today

 

[Nick]

We are aware we don't need to string passes all the way to Bidwell on every attack right?

Yeah but if we pass out wide we can cross in to Gyo against 4 defenders.

 

[Jamesimus]

OHare having a very good game.

He was. Then you posted this, he fell over, then passed it out of play.

 

[stupot07]

Why does Bidwell always mark the tallest players on corners or is it them going to him on the zonal defense we play on those

We do zonal marking.

 

[lord_garrincha]

It feels like the first goal will be crucial.




So we're fucked!!!

 

[Nick]

Nasty floodlights making OHare kick it out of play. Give them a smack.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

which isn’t in any rule book and Mcsheffrey dived game after game and won penalties - if it was a dive it wiukd have been a yellow card against O Hare

No and I agree with you - but you can’t deny it doesn’t influence Refs. McSheffrey was great at conning refs - even Godden has more nous in that dept than O’Hare.

 

[Esoterica]

Based on what exactly?

Fadz by slowing the game down and only passing sideways, Rose has been sloppy in possession a few times when using his left foot.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Bidwell having a much better game today

But still lacking real quality

 

[Frostie]

Must be a tactical switch as they're saying he's not injured.

Not a surprise for me, their press has been non-existent allowing us to completely control the game.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Rose is soo weak...pushed off the ball time and again. That's why he wont make it to the top.

 

[Nick]

Not liking that free header from the corner at the back, was Rose meant to be marking?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Viktor looks a bit isolated up top.
