' SO THE CIRCUS & EMBARRASSMENT CONTINUES AT CARDIFF CITY '

' CARDIFF CITY 0 BOURNEMOUTH 3 '

Attendance 6,491

City Team Moore, Brayford, Gabbidon, Cala, John, Kim, Gunnarsson, Adeyemi, Le Fondre, Maynard, Guerra.
Subs used Daehli, Machenda.

I thought I had seen it all in the 70's /'80's & 90's but these last 3 years have been lower than ever in my opinion from the Stripping of our identity,to the World of Football laughing at us,to a club divided from top to bottom and then a team/squad worth millions just getting embarrassed week in week out and no pride and passion with it. At least in them days we had pride and passion.

Nobody in our club are able to take control and at least temporary manage them, to me its worse than shocking, its the sign of a club that is totally clueless regarding football( I use to say that about Ole).

I honestly feel for any manager who comes in to our club.

If a manager comes in soon and I mean soon, he will need more than time to take control of the football side, he might even need the whole of this season, players unfit,no back room staff and will need to put his stamp on things.

As to tonights match it was another embarrassment and even the Bournemouth fans got fed up of taking the mick out of us.

Tonight never looked like the Derby match, it reminded me of Oles matches,clueless,players not knowing what to do,no team work and a team looking tired, drained and did not look like they wanted to be in this Cup.

My man of the match
Danny Gabbidon for non stop effort, for a player unfit, he gave his all,but is past his sell by date.
Mats Daehli (sub) did more than the rest, quality at times :thumbright:

And Tan wont even speak to a manager like Tony Pulis :shock:

Where will are club end up come May 2015? I really do worry.

I really have nothing more to say :cry: :cry: :cry:

Relegation is a serious consideration for us this year.

Changes in management , players and staff divided. Everything being run by a foreign businessman with no football knowledge.

We are a team other teams will really be up for beating due to our shambles being dragged through the public newspapers.

Getting promoted to the championship was one of the best days ever for me!

If we do end up dropping a few leagues and end up being owned by the fans it won't be the worst thing.

Better that than what we are.

We're going down Annis.

I'm not normally one to overreact, but we're doomed.

Annis this is not the time for a gamble on a manager like slade. The damage caused by ole is more deep rooted than we could have imagined. But it didn't take long to cause it and with the right man at the helm it won't take ling to sort out. But that man has to be someone like Pulis, of that I'm more convinced that ever. Is there anyway the fans wishes can get through to the clubs hierarchy? We are at a crossroads - take the wrong turn and we will miss a huge opportunity that will cost us for years to come.

Totally agree with you, spot on, no more gambling on managers.

It looked like Ole had picked that team before he left and left the team sheet pinned up.

Total shambles - 2 strikers playing in midfield, the 3rd striker taken off after 33 minutes.

Another new back four. Probably 7 players who had never played with each other before.

The Bournemouth players looked zippy and passed and ran forwards at every opportunity. We looked for the slow back pass very time.

Only Declan, Dhaeli and Macheda deserved to be paid for that performance.

What a wasted opportunity to play the same team that played at Derby, to build up some momentum and confidence in each other.

I agree only a strong manager that will demand respect will save our season.

Just got back from the game. Tonight was truly shocking. Agree with Annis' original post. We are genuine relegation candidates. We can forget about promotion, its about staying up now. We need a strong, old school, manager, with experience of the Championship. If we steady the ship by Christmas, we should be ok. Otherwise, were down. Uncanny similarities with Wolves two seasons ago.

I agree with you on lots of your comments but to say gabbs was man of the match shocks me..did you go to the toilet the four times he lost possession and nearly cost us goals or did you just fall asleep. He was shocking at best.the whole team were a complete shambles and showed no character or passion..daehli was city's best player by a country mile . I hope Scott young don't get the job as I would hate to see him lose is god like status at the club. City are and will be in freefall until the day we return to blue. People are only going these days out of habbit as anyone with any sence actually walked away when the rebrand happened..the club is a f.c.ing disgrace from top to bottom and even the lids on the tea cups don't actually f..k..g fit. I went in the club ship today for the first time in two years and could not believe the crap on offer. The jerseys are second rate the rest of the merchandise is pathetic to say the least..I could go on all night about the mess this club is in . One decision to be made about a new manager' now I suggest you take your time and get it right Vincent or we will be in division 1 this time next year.
