Cardiff City v Burton Albion - Tue 30 Sep - 19:45 - Match Thread

[Facey]

We did tbf but had a perfectly fine goal ruled out for no reason. That goal stands and we win this game comfortably

No it would have been 1-1

 

[ccfcwelshlad]

This will be about 5-0

@ccfcwelshlad has been private messaging me absolutely lamb basting me for my GTA guess.

So theres lots riding on this one.
Cmon city
I need bums on seats tonight

[Jimmytaff]

25 accurate passes from Burton.

Total.

This smacks of a 1-0 away win.

FFS Gary. What were you thinking? Hope you're happy now. Kids are devastated

 

[Hancock's Half Hour]

Two straight home losses.

 

[Facey]

Win the playoffs

 

[Ponty and pop]

Too much sideways football.
For all the pretty stuff it's no good without goals and frankly boring to watch.
I think we need to alter our tactics a bit. Teams will come here do the same and we won't beat them with that horizontal stuff.
To be honest it's was very disappointing.

Was that night actually that bad?

I get the frustration when we are a little too passive but we still managed 20 shots with 8 on target. My biggest criticism was that we didn't put one of them away but I'm not sure that's because of the lack of build up.

They were incredibly defensive, you could see they were told that they should have all eleven men in their half when we had the ball. They were almost running back to line up, as soon as the ball was at Trotts feet, letting us come forward with the ball, without pressing. Fair play to them as it did a job for them but not something I've seen before.

Seen a whole lot of doom and gloom online and in the ground, it just surprised me a little.

Very frustrating. Created good chances until they conceded but went to shit after that. Our finishing was much too timid and general gameplay as if we'd never anticipated a team might come and park the bus.

There's always going to be disappointments and up and downs in a season but yesterday was poor and calls into question our ability to get promoted with a small squad. We'll get a good idea on a Saturday how much character is in the squad and how well coached we actually are. I do think BBM is a good coach but I'd like to see him prove that now.

The worry is that they have established a blueprint for less skilful teams to adopt against us at CCS.

My personal concern was that even with 11 camped in their own half BBM insisted on Lawlor ambling up to the halfway line, then trying to create something from what was effectively a standing start.

I believe that City should have bombarded them with long balls from our keeper as there was more chance of something dropping to one of our forwards and it would have kept their defence moving around. The tactics City persisted with were more akin to a game of Subbuteo.

I suspect that's what they would've wanted, long ball and a bit of a battle, not to say we shouldn't be better at those areas. I almost like that we stuck to a plan as weve been devoid of one for so long, maybe it was slightly stubborn.

Perhaps a blueprint, but I'd argue that with a different ref, 20+ shots, 8 on target, that more often than not we'd find a break through. I've seen u a play a lot worse and get something this season for sure.

I'd like to see the timeline of those 20 shots, because I don't think there were many in the latter stages of the game, which is why I say that the tactics should have been changed. or at least mixed up a bit.

I can't remember a meaningful effort in the last thirty minutes. Looked like about 5 good chances first half that were very scoreable (caveat that it was the other end from me so not as clear cut as when attacking Canton Stand)

Actually Salech had his best headed effort (though most difficult) second half

What you mean by a generation difference for whom?

Typo, was part of another reply. I've deleted it now.

No biggie, was curious that's all.

It just gets worse and worse on rewatch. I just can't see where the foul is.

We've had a parade of shit refs giving shit decisions. It's going to cost us promotion.
