Football CARDIFF 4-1 WIMBLEDON: POST MATCH FANS REACTIONS

[Gladitsfriday]

Slightly disappointed? Speak for yourself butt, I was more than happy with last night.

I also find this obsession with wanting us to constantly shoot on sight into a crowded penalty box a bit baffling. Is it not obvious how we’re trying to play, trying to create realistic scoring opportunities? There’s obviously nothing wrong having a go when there’s a genuine opportunity but efforts from distance come off maybe one in ten or more times, more often than not the ball gets blocked or hits an opposition player and you’ve lost possession, or worse still they end up counter attacking.

Ok I digress I was slightly disappointed we didn't absolutely smash those wombles as for wanting players to shoot the opportunities I was referring to NG wasn't getting closed down and had plenty of time to put his laces through the ball as he did Saturday .But never mind he came up with a cracking header to put us in front.

We did mod off a bit for their goal.
And for the first 15 mins or so looked a bit shaky at the back.
We came through it well in the end and it may take any complacency out of our boys.
Wimbledon seemed to get frustrated at being outplayed and a few heavy challenges came in and shirt pulling etc that went unpunished.
The referee wasn't to bad despite that.

I noticed that almost from the start of the 2nd half. It might have been frustration but I wondered if they'd been told to get into us since playing football wasn't working? They'll have seen other teams roughing us up with little punishment.

They were physical but I don't remember them being dirty - bit of tugging etc but nothing nasty

I thought they were 2nd half. I'd be interested to see the foul count broken down by half. It didn't work anyway.

I think the half time stats will be on our match thread.

Not disputing they were fouling a lot more but I didn't notice any of the sly thuggery we've seen in other games

Agreed.

Very probable. Word gets around .

Ref wasn't too bad . Missed a few but better than most.
It's the shirt pulling gets me almost like it's allowed these days.
