Time for Lampard to show he’s different to Robins and change it at half time. Torp and Saka off at the very least.

I hope Lampard can give bollockings as that was totally unacceptable

I hope he flicks each player individually in the balls. Worth checking if they’re actually there.

We look very passive, Cardiff winning most 50/50s. We look scared / playing with fear.

Yours is even funnier. You make out there’s a huge gap between him and Simms. Simms has been horrendous today

He could, but I feel he’s not going to add what we need.
BTA seems more suited to being a nuisance down the middle and making space.

It's OK lads we lost to Sheff weds who are currently 9th so we should be grateful for performances like this.

They were 19th when we played them. Where they are now is irrelevant

We’re so open at the back and weak in midfield
Don’t look too bad on the ball but not really potent
We lack intensity and fight
We’ll be in big trouble if we can’t find some backbone
Not sure what the issue is with doing the basics
Incredibly frustrating

Just appalling-lacks any cohesion, fight or tactics.

It’s the fucking players again.

Strolling around and not even being arsed.

Typified by our Captain-the perineal ’just not bothered’ Sheaf..

Replace with who though? I would like to see Raphael given a chance though but I have no idea if he is ready or not

My word that was poor! MVE looks shot, no urgency in the play from anyone. Rudoni is a great player , but he is not a left winger.

Hope “super” Frank has the balls to make some changes at half time

Milan summed up our entire mentality with his break down the right hand side. The only thought in his mind was to check back and recycle the ball back to the CBs. Every single throw in the attacking 3rd also gets recycled back to the CBs. They all just want to be “safe” there’s no desire whatsoever to go and win the game.

we (Thomas, Lats, Eccles……amongst others) aren’t good enough to play out from the back without panicking so why are we continually trying when we’ve given it away and put ourselves in trouble a number of times already?

and then we are lumping it up to Simms, again why when it’s not working and there’s nobody around him, if he actually wins the header

this is where Lampard earns his crust now, is he able to change tactics, stop the counter attacks and make us a threat up top? yeah he’s working with what he’s inherited but there’s enough there

He hasn’t been horrendous, but also there isn’t really much difference between playing him or Bassette.

The only players that can come out with some credit are Latibeudiere, Bidwell and Rudoni.
Our midfield 3 and Sakamoto have done nothing. Van Erwijk is riddled with mistakes.
Get Allen on for Torp or Bassette on the left with Rudoni replacing Torp.
Individually we have been so poor, it is hard to see how he can alter with subs only. Maybe two up top another option.

Maybe, but i'll slag off the fact he's not won a single 50/50 header

Mate stop , it's silly talk .

We played 2 of the top 6 current under robins and 5 teams between 6th and 12th

We actually beat 2 of the top 7

Frank couldn't have asked for an easier start to his reign
Click to expand...

We beat the current 6th and 7th mate. One of whom was mid table dross at the time.


This team is absolute shite. It was shite for Robins, it’s shite for Lampard.

If you think Lampard is to blame for that then you need your head looking at

Can Rudoni play down the right? If he can I’d whack him out right instead of Sakamoto, Put Rapha on the left and Allen on for Torp.. we really need something different.

why wouldn’t you just bring Rapha on the right?

It couldn't have been much worse performance wise but it is still only 1-0. There's a reason why Cardiff are bottom 3 and have 6 points from their last 10 games. Hopefully we see why in the 2nd half.

It’s a poor performance but we were only ever a mid table team. We are only just performing below realistic expectations.

The big concerns are when the likes of MVE and Sheaf get the transfer they so clearly want and when Simms and Wright are sold to get the wages down

Well yet again we will agree to differ on that one. We played some utter dross with no obvious plan or organisation earlier in the season. Not necessarily worse but certainly no better .

Sorry, I'm not having that. FL has them all week and picks the team. He's the manager, it's absolutely on him.
Click to expand...
What do you think FL can be telling them that is making them play like that? The writing had been on the wall for a while - particularly in terms of lacking a creative central midfield player. The centre backs have no-one to give it to who can carry the ball forward. Not sure what FL can do with the current crop. other than (imo) go 2 up top. I would take torp off, move Rudoni infield and bring Bassette on (although I would play him along Simms)

Yes they were. Since Wolves we were conceding 2 or 3 goals every game. Even Birmingham stuffed us 3.0

Like I said earlier in the thread, playing as a lone striker for us must be one of the hardest roles in the league.
