In my opinion, the defence has been shite, but from a centre back's perspective, 2 terrible full backs and a non-existant DCM cover.

Neither of them did.

But in the usual SBT crying frenzy looks like we’re as good as relegated already, so what does it matter.

The lack of goals from midfield both last season and this more so just isn’t good enough. Sheaf technically gifted but a couple of goals a season is the reason why he’s in the championship. He’s no captain either.
I rate Torp to take his place, he can find a pass, shows more desire, gets into more attaching positions and can break up play too. If he had some pace he would be even better.

Torp and Rudoni both - I keep saying this but Sheaf and Eccles in midfield together for the most part is unnecessary, they are the same player and Sheaf is head and shoulders above Eccles, they won’t score or create much and playing with both is so negative….

hopefully it’s Lampard’s bread and butter though being a midfielder, so maybe he can make it all work

Lampard: “That’s not normal, the reaction afterwards I don’t love because you want to get hold of the game, but I’ve also been there and it’s tough and challenging especially when you’re in a period of that. It’s step-by-step that one, we have to be humble about it and look at the basics of our game and how we train for the week, and we have a really competitive game next weekend.”

well Wednesday did

we are well and truly in a relegation fight at present, there is a real risk unless we pick up which I believe we will

Over 700 between them TBF. How many had Aled Williams played?

Frankly right now is sell a player and pay for Ashley Cole if he’s out there. Then I’d play him left back.

It's a fresh start with a new coaching team. First game was rough but not terrible (especially 1st half). A well taken second goal took the wind out, but think we can be optimistic there'll be no wool pulled interms of FL and teams view of the issues. Now they can affect individuals, attitude, system and recruitment in Jan.

Completely agree, Cardiff outplayed us second half. We dominated possession, but it was mainly between the back in which they didn't press, let us have the ball and waited for us to make a mistake. And we were so slow on the ball.

How many other teams play with a 5'2" fullback?? Surely has to be on his way now, all the other teams target him and Meite had the beating of him all afternoon.

All you have to do against us is sit off and let us have the ball in front of you and eventually we’ll give it away and you can break. And there is zero chance of us breaking you down while you wait.

It was terrible in first game terms. In comparison with our performance at home seven days ago it was horrendous.

The good the bad and the ugly.

Good
1. DaSilva had some good possession and forward play, drifting into the middle quite a few times.
2. Sakamoto had a really good first half, he was picking up quite a few loose balls in Cardiff's half.
3. EMC had a good overall game and is gaining in confidence, good goal too.
4. The new formation seemed fairly effective and suited most players natural games.
5. Both Torp and Simms looked good when they came on.
6. Torp is a cool cat taking penalties.
7. Asante was a useful out once he came on.

Bad
1. Milan's form has tanked and we have no ready replacement.
2. DaSilva was struggling early on when he was having to cover a 6ft pacey attacker.
3. Sheaf was again losing the ball too much and deep into the second half was stretching his hamstrings, is he unfit?
4. Saka got tired in the second half
5. Eccles did not live up to his recent form.
6. The defenders stand off the opposition far to much

Ugly
1. The midfield is not covering the defence adequately, look at Cardiff's 2nd goal, Rudoni lost the scorer who was lurking behind him.
2. Collins can't shot stop for toffee, he has got nowhere near the goals he has let in.

I hope he gets really stuck into the cunts after today, he don't look happy and I can tell him there's 26,000 others who feel like that too.

Exactly, Cardiff are a very poor side. Had we turned in a performance like last week we'd have won comfortably. Instead we made some strange tactical decisions & the players just looked confused.

1st half we looked decent I thought. 4231. Positive. Narrow swift passing, moving the ball at speed to EMC or Norman. I was optimistic.

2nd half we just got the stuffing knocked out of us with the frustration of their early 2nd. Schoolboy lack of pressing him - but a good strike.

After that we looked unsure, indecisive, no real idea of our approach going forward. Everyone again pretty damn shite. Confidence looks shot.

next game IMO:-

Dovin
MVE Thomas Kitching Binks
Sheaf Eccles
Torp
Saka Simms EMC

I don't really understand the negativity

This performance under robins would have seen ppl angry but vast majority never really worried so much they wanted him gone

This performance under Carr would have been seen as decent

But the first game for a new manager and because it's not perfect it's panic stations?

Don't get it
