Cardiff City v Swansea City - Sun 12th Jan - 12:00 - Match Thread

[Hartley]

Bit more effort than the away fixture. Morrison and Nelson look a good pairing. Bennet got down the sides well.

Were really struggling upfront though and need someone in midfield to pull the strings if we are going to change our style.

Bacuna takes too many touches and Pack too slow.

Smithies kicking much better than Etheridge. I wouldn’t be adverse to him retaining his place. Wether Etheridge was only dropped because if transfer speculation like Harris said remains to be seen.

A lot lot better than I had been fearing and as has been mentioned, that ridiculous record still stands

 

[Crowbar Johnny]

Smithies keeps the shirt for me now.

 

[BLUE TUESDAY]

Happy with a clean sheet

The peg sellers were just as bad though
2 mid table sides playing today

Think the back four/five including Smithies today is the one we should stick with until the summer. Hopefully Flint can hold down his current position for the remainder of the season.

A bit shit really, but at least we didn't lose.

 

[Face Paint]

Sick to my back teeth with this long ball from the back stuff. Toothless up front slow in midfield.
Smithies is better than Etheridge, Nelson is better than Flint.

I do think Harris want's to change our style in fairness, just don't think this was the game to be experimenting too much.

 

[Norris Cole]

We were on par in ball possession as they werewe need more dynamism in midfield Pack is slower than a battleship turning and Glatzel is definitely dropping to the bench when Harris brings his own forward in I'm just so glad we didnt lose I was a bag of nerves at kick off.

yep, have to agree. Distribution far better, even threw it to bennet once, I think even bennet was taken by surprise though.

 

[Spanker]

Referee was a right cunt today.

 

[Norris Cole]

Referee was a right cunt today.

He was very inconsistent that foul on Tomlin at the end and so blatant and did fuck all he gave more to them even Ayew was trying to take advantage by chucking himself to the floor all the time.

 

[Cymro84]

I really struggle to see what Pack brings to the table. He was caught in possession in dangerous areas at least three times today which could have resulted in real danger had Swansea not been so poor. Can’t see how Vaulks wouldn’t offer more

 

[Antifa]

I enjoyed that tbh. Bit shit upfront but overall they gave it good go so couldn’t ask for more apart from a goal

A guy behind me has taken to caling him Packie, which doesn't sound great taken out of context.

He was extremely fussy. Gave some real soft fouls for both teams. The way he was handing out yellows in the first half I was shocked both sides finished with 11.

I felt he gave mostly everything to them and he only gave a yellow to Glatzel after the scuffle was ridiculous.
