MATCH THREAD: " PRESTON v CARDIFF CITY " MATCH THREA

Make a change now go 4-4-2 we can’t defend we got to have a go at them .Six defensive players and not one of them know their role it looks like

Puppet Riza brags if he gets a draw or undefeated for say 3 games.

But forgets to state: 1 Win in 7 or the bigger picture 5 Wins in 28 League Games if We don’t Win Tonight.

He was brought in by Erol Bulut, so ‘defence first’ looks like his ‘default’

The commentator just said Preston ‘are comfortable’ and he’s (smartly) right!

Horvath gathers another ball after a very good interception from Will Fish knocks the Preston attacker off his stride

Goal no.2 averted!

LATEST SCORE: PRESTON NE 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (34 mins)

Your right Chris,
It’s to comfortable for Preston

Clueless upfront

The board need to earn their pay tonight and sack Riza. Yes it’s late in the day but get somebody in for the last few, hopefully that will spur the lads on and try and secure next season in the championship

We are so open through the middle.

Changes needed asap.

He won’t make them until we let another in or it’s the 60th minute.

Mannsverk's clipped free-kick is cleared

We look f*cking hopeless again . No attacking threat , clueless off set pieces .

Hard watch this is. No runners, no urgency, slow motion.

Why are the board not acting the players can only do what is asked of them from the manager , and he’s fking useless . They look lost no guidance .

Blame him all you like but the players are worse than awful, can't defend, can't beat the first man, can't pass & can't score. Colwill is a liability but so are the whole defence, who he keeps passing the ball to.

It’s Rizas fault he’s worse than shit he couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery

He is BUT the players have to take some responsibility when they can't even pass the ball to their own players, can't tackle. can't even go forward with the fking ball & can't put a cross in.

For a team that was selected to defend we cannot defend. No speed in our attacks and are giving Preston all the time to set defence.

We need changes fast, we need to attack them at pace

Great bit of play by Colwill.

Unlucky by Colwill

First real chance

A thunderbolt from Colwill flies over the bar courtesy of a tip from Cornell. First real sight on goal for Cardiff.

I agree mate everything’s a mess

Salech’s touch map so far…..

All outside the box, midfield. In the corner and 2 in our own half… as a striker his touches really should be in the box, not blaming him for that at all as he’s pitching in and helping out, just sums up the crap tactics from the jokers

Daaland and chambers off for Robertson and Alves please

Colwill finally uses his undoubted skill and fires away a shot that is parried away for a corner

Sadly, the resulting corner is so familiar in its execution and the ball is easily defended

LATEST SCORE: PRESTON NE 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY (39 mins)

Looked ominous from the first fifteen minutes this evening. Error prone Daland and Goutas letting another one through. We are playing with a back five with two defensive midfielders. How are Colwil, Ashford and Salech supposed to break down a deep defence on their own? O’Dowda is a good option going forward and can whip a cross in, but while Rhinamota is a great runner, he’s not going to be whipping balls in from that right hand side. I’ve also seen Fish sat high on that right wing? 30 minutes in and changes desperately needed. Their front man (Osmajic) is going to single handed put us to bed this evening if nothing changes.

Senior players need to grab this group by the scruff.

Interesting fact Salech has not touched ball inside their penalty area!

Get him gone. We'll have more chance of staying up with no manager

This is painful to watch not good for the health

Interesting fact Salech has not touched ball inside their penalty area!

Main reason none of the decent strikers we’ve had in could produce anything, absolutely no service. We’ve seen what he can do for us with half decent service

Interesting fact Salech has not touched ball inside their penalty area!

We don’t Allan play like a team to suit him

We don’t play the ball to him

Ashford shoots wide with a half-chance but it really should have been (at least) on target!

Would help if we put wingers with pace on

Feel for the fans who have made the long trip up to Preston

Hopefully we come out totally different 2nd half

We could of been 3 down , Thank fully only 1 and we can improve 2nd half

Interesting fact Salech has not touched ball inside their penalty area!

We don’t Allan play like a team to suit him

We don’t play the ball to him

Said this numerous times at other games give him decent cross and he'll score but the players seem to have orders to keep possession as much as possible.. he's gone next season.

This is painful to watch not good for the health

I agree, I feel so angry at the moment I have to stop watching.

I would get prison time if I got hold of Tan or his 2 halfwits by his side

Once again Sheffield United losing

This time 1 nil at home to Millwall

I’ve said it all season how can they gel and settle when the formation is constantly changed
