MY VIEW: CARDIFF CITY TODAY INCREDIBLE YET AGAIN:

MY VIEW / OPINION: OUTSTANDING CITY IN THE FIRST-HALF & 2NIL UP / SORRY BUT NO EXCUSES THIS TIME:


Why the heck did Bulut change formation ? Today’s loss is in part due to that.


Incredible yet again to throw away a 2nil lead and 3pts


CARDIFF TODAY TOOK ON NEWLY PROMOTED IPSWICH TOWN


Cardiff deserved their first-half lead and played some good football.


CITY WERE 2NIL UP & YET AGAIN MESS IT IT UP BIG TIME.

SO WHO DO WE BLAME?

Massively in my view 3pts dropped

Cardiff second-half so disjointed and collapsed beyond, 3 goals



FIRST-HALF:City we’re edging the game .
30th min: GOAL Cardiff!
Rambo!
Brilliant work from Grant puts the ball on a plate for Ramsey, who strokes home.
City also had a goal off-side.
Rúnarsson made a couple of brilliant saves for Cardiff.








SECOND-HALF: One change for City - @IUgbo replaces Ollie Tanner at the break.
Joe Ralls scores in the 54th min, great football.


59 - Goal for Ipswich. Broadhead fires one into the top corner. (1-2)

City under real
Pressure:

63 - @ryanwintle123 is on - @Yaks75 departs.

67th min Shocking , City’s defence 2-2


83 - @RubinColwill is on, with JC departing. (3-2)


Early days but Cardiff are 19th.

The managers to blame today end of annis. Anyone who was there or watched it could see the system changes changed the game and his subs at 2 nil up. Watched grant as a central midfielder today for 25 mins and by time he changed it again we was 3-2 down

No clean sheets, our only win was with a 96th minute penalty. Cannot defend a lead and we are not going to win many this season.

Bulut won’t last long making stupid decisions like he did today. And before I get slated, it’s not an overreaction. It’s a fact.

After doing so well midweek. Why not bring Adams on? Close the game out?

Not a player who probably hasn't even trained with us yet.

Weird decision.

As soon as Ralls went off I thought "now we're fucked". We just can't string together 2 good halves of football for some reason.

Hoping it gets better as the team plays together more.

You can't sit on a 2 goal lead in this league....Poor

Unsure as to why tanner was subbed. We need to start changing our shape and really adapt in the 2nd half as we can't let this happen. Also, I hope meite get some finishing training over the international break.

Pathetic to surrender that game. Never had any confidence even at 2 nil up. Are we any better than last year? marginally. Patience is needed but this is a very poor result for Bulut. Its typical we have the derby next too. Not looking forward to that all.

Runarsson is awful.

Second goal he shouldn’t be letting it sneak in at his near post and third goal he should be saving it out wide instead of putting it right back in the danger zone.

Alnwick saves both

Manager cost us that's a fact I'm so fuming the fact he changed to a 5 then changed it back once the damage was done

Not making any excuses because shouldn't have invited so much pressure but apart from the Ipswich first the other 2 were so unlucky. Ricochet off siopis when trying to close corner and off our keepers foot into the strikers face and goal

The managers to blame today end of annis. Anyone who was there or watched it could see the system changes changed the game and his subs at 2 nil up. Watched grant as a central midfielder today for 25 mins and by time he changed it again we was 3-2 down

Exactly this. The difference when they took the lead is they kept going forward looking for more.

The manager cost us big time today its a tough one to take considering how well we played for an hour.

Manager cost us that's a fact I'm so fuming the fact he changed to a 5 then changed it back once the damage was done

Yep that's the bottom line and I'm not over reacting either. Playing well 1st half. Then Tanner went off then he changed the system at 2 nil and downhill from there 3-2 down and he changed it back again. Mental.

We are murdering down the left, if anyone has to come off then is should be a straight swap......changing shape was fcuking crazy !!!!!!!!

Four points lost from winning positions already,
.
Conceding an average of two goals every league game will only end one way.

Managed to solve our goalscoring problems from last season only to replace them with an inability to defend this season.

Four points from five games is relegation form.

Needs to do something fast or any goodwill the manager is having will soon disappear.

Bulet got it wrong.

Not sure why Tanner went off for Ugbo to play out of position... strange unless injured, even then play Miete wide and Ugbo up top.

Ramsey gave the ball away a lot today.

Two fortunate goals for them.

I think a lack of striker, like last year, will bite us.

Positives - Grant did a lot better, Collins played well and Panzo looked good on the ball.

We're a bottom half team at the moment.

I think most worrying is our fitness, we look tired

Yep, Bulut to blame for this one. Alnwick must be shaking his head in disbelief. We were playing well up to the needless formation change. Grant was having his best game for us, so he switches him! Baffling. Enough in the first hour to be encouraged by though.

Can't understand manager's decisions today. Was Tanner injured, otherwise why pull him? He was having a good game and seemed to be the biggest threat. He certainly has the speed needed in our forward line which is lcking in many others. We were controlling the game and then failed to shut it down.

I will excuse the Leeds and Leicester comebacks but again today???

Runarsson is awful.

Second goal he shouldn’t be letting it sneak in at his near post and third goal he should be saving it out wide instead of putting it right back in the danger zone.

Alnwick saves both

100% 1st goal fair enough that's a great strike but they other 2 he should've done alot better with. Get Alnwick back in ASAP should never have been dropped in the first place.

After 3 mediocre seasons I think patience will be wearing a bit thin sooner than later if these kind of jekyll and Hyde performances continue.

We lose to the Vermin again and I think sections of the crowd will start to turn

Why the heck did Bulut change formation ? Today’s loss is in part due to that.

Totally agree. I’ve never been so pissed off watching a game that we were in control of, and then completely throw it away. I thought Tanner was doing well, and Ugbo did nothing as his replacement. The constant changing of players, and shape had them all confused. This is all down to the manager.

Looking for a positive, we were comfortable for the majority of the game. Well 2 3rds at least.
Which although makes me feel worse about it atm can only be a good thing going forwards.
Do it for a full 90 and we will be ok

2-0 away from home and playing well to finsh on another loss.
Lots of lessons to learn this league takes no prisoners does it.
I dont vet why he changed the keeper after Alnwick was doing so well.
He didn't deserve that hes put in a lot of hard work and made some great saves so im confused why he was dropped.
Find a team and stick to it
Tinkering only ends up with one thing loss of momentum.
We should be taking all the points today.
Pressure is on the one man now to sort it out that didn't cut it today game management was way off.
Hope they learn Swansea next and a win is a must because thats embarrassing all the losses to them aswell.

We need the win against the jacks regroup and go from there .
Bulut has to learn and fast about this league.

The change of formation killed us we were doing well before that point the manger changed our formation for our new signing panzo to come on because of that it changed the game Collins was superb before the formation change then soon as that happens it’s between him and panzo who’s fault the equaliser is they ain’t played together long enough to be chucked in like that. We concede again then goes back to old formation not good enough needs to learn the championship it’s ruthless

We are only 5 games in and squad is still gelling. I know Ipswich are newly promoted but have had a decent start to the season and been playing together for ages.

Right, let’s quit with the knee jerk reactions.

Positives: we were sexual going forward. The play for our goals was outstanding.

Right, admittedly changed the formation and fucked us, but Bulut will learn from it.
He’s a clever guy. He’s trying things out. It’s a new league for him, and different to what he’s used to.
Let’s see where we are after 10 games, then make our points.

The biggest issue I see with the results is they’re inconsistent, but the performances are there.

Don’t think much of Runnarsson except his distribution. Alnwick has to return next game.
