[Esoterica]

Watched that with the wife tonight although she doesn't often take an interest. She just gave me a kiss goodnight and said she should have had an early night instead and then I could have had a wank and played video games. Not sure what she thinks I'm about to do now?!

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Played them onside for the second goal unfortunately.

Still performing well in general I think

 

[Paxman II]

Lets get Dabo, Kelly and godden back and matsen at left back. And start giving Jones match time! Not going to make a play off place on current team selection.

Those subs baffling.

Kane was doing ok. Bidwell not. Why put Maatsen in the right and leave that dumpling on?

I’m head scratching here what was gained with mastsen on for Kane? Surely you would want maatsen running at tired players where Shipley was supposed to be doing.

It’s all been said what playing Shipley would achieve prior to the match and yet again we were proved right.

Something doesn’t feel right over the last couple of games and we go again on a heap of a heavy pitch against another load of shite on Saturday.

PUSB

Play Shipley your playing with 10 men

 

[skyblu3sk]

Shipley hugely frustrating, proved he could do it in a few games then looses himself again. Waghorn did nothing after coming on. If Ohare wasn't on the pitch we would have looked a lot worse.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Winning fouls doesn't win us points.

Would do if we capitalised in them. O’Hare does more than win fouls - he wins the ball high up the pitch. Problem we have is that we have Allen or Shipley following up. If we had say a John Swift - he gets more goals for us than he would for Reading

 

[Grendel]

Sheaf mom, and the bonus is no obvious injuries.

Sheaf was poor

 

[shepardo01]

Worse than Luton tonight for me given the opportunity we have in terms of the average opposition and what our game in hand meant.

Wingbacks didn't work tonight, and let's face it, if they don't get forward then you're left with O'Hare and Vik vs their defence.

Allen silently went about doing absolutely fuck all tonight too.

Poor

Always miss Hamer moving the ball quickly through the middle of the park.
Slow and predictable tonight. Allen anonymous in Hamers place.

Shipley hugely frustrating, proved he could do it in a few games then looses himself again. Waghorn did nothing after coming on. If Ohare wasn't on the pitch we would have looked a lot worse.

He had his good game at left back though.

 

[Nick]

Sheaf was poor

 

[CCFCSteve]

Desperate need of fresh legs in this team now. Need Dabo and Godden back ASAP. Also need to start using Tavares. I know he is unknown but cannot see what Waghorn offers us coming off the bench.

And why not give Jones a go ?! Strange

 

[Dickie]

Forget playoffs...our squad just isnt good enough.

We had the best 5 players on the pitch by a mile...but also the worst 5 players on the pitch.

Fuck the playoffs. Pointless getting our hopes up. Aside from the header, I don’t recall a single shot on target. And against a dogshit side like Cardiff that’s pretty pathetic

 

[Macca]

I think I’ve made my peace with the season fizzling out after tonight

 

[Hertsccfc]

Sheaf was poor

Agree. Worst game from him this season. Weak on both goals.

 

[PVA]

I’m head scratching here what was gained with mastsen on for Kane?

Kane is not fit (and it shows)

 

[Dickie]

And why not give Jones a go ?! Strange

Agree, or Tavares.The subs were baffling. We were crying out for some spark and energy and he brings on fucking Waghorn.

 

[Dirk Turpin]

Said it before, but I'd sooner see a fit inexperienced youngster than an experienced player who clearly isn't fit

They've always got something to prove as well

 

[Hertsccfc]

Always miss Hamer moving the ball quickly through the middle of the park.
Slow and predictable tonight. Allen anonymous in Hamers place.

I am afraid Allen just isn't good enough at this level

 

[duffer]

I think what struck me was just the lack of energy. Cardiff didn't look that much better in truth.

I'm still happy with where we are, but maybe it's time to mix it up a bit. Robins will sort it.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

We really will just repeat last season's point total, if that if this is how we are against the shit teams

 

[Grendel]

Lets get Dabo, Kelly and godden back and matsen at left back. And start giving Jones match time! Not going to make a play off place on current team selection.

lol what a laugh you are

 

[Malaka]

Sheaf was poor

Really? I didn't think so

 

[SBT]

I dont get what the aim with Waghorn is?

Usually row Q or so

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

We're so stupidly married to the 5 at the back system that we have to play an unfit Kane every game because we have no-one else who can play RWB, and then inevitbaly have to waste a sub to take him off. If we just played 4 at the back I'm sure one of the CBs could fill in at RB for a game but because we're only set up to play one formation and one style of play we're completely stuck.

 

[Moff]

I know people keep suggesting Tavares isnt quite ready, but if so why is he on the bench?

Pace scares defenders and we haven't got many players with pace, so why not give him a go tonight ahead of an overweight and unfit striker who has only a vague recollection of what the fucking goal looks like.

 

[robbiethemole]

Both those lads Cardiff brought on are younger than Tavares so how can they say he’s not ready/strong/old enough? Put him on and see what he can do ffs

 

[CCFC54321]

Kane is not fit (and it shows)

He looks ok to me?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Kane had been atrocious since his injury

 

[SBT]

He doesn't look like he wants to be here
He'll be off at the end of the season
I was amazed when he was brought on

Seriously, if this is true and Waghorn is indeed off at the end of the season, then net-net this has actually turned into a great night for me, fair play.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I gotta say. Fair play to sisu not gambling.

I wouldn’t have put money into this lot either.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

We play some good passing football at times but tonight there was very little else. We're like a dog with no teeth.

 

[ccfc1234]

Shipley plays well at LWB so we start him in a position he has been dire in for the entire time we have been in the Championship.

Waghorn shocking trying to score world class goals from anywhere and looked really poor

McFaz n it sure why he got left out back in he was a total liability

Subs poor again. Robins in wierd thinking mode.

Deflating but were still in the mix if we can turn it around, fast.

 

[usskyblue]

The work rate was there in the whole. But everyone looked tired mentally and physically IMO. And it showed in the lack of executing the basics: first touch, control and passing. Also showed in the lack of invention and movement in the final third.

It is what it is.. you don’t have time to wallow in this league.

 

[skyblues83]

Kane had been atrocious since his injury

Been really poor, when’s Dabo due back ?
