Remember Swansea are very poor and yet for long periods the Jacks controlled the game and yet again beat us at home.

I think we would have celebrated like we won the league had we got that point. we fought so hard to get it back to 2-2 from 2-0 down but that shows how bad we have become as we were home and would of been grateful to have got a home draw against little old Swansea

Yes but they haven't been little old Swansea for about 15 years theyve had 7 premier league seasons won a trophy.the rest of the time pushing to get back there.today they showed what they are a bog standard championship club.where as us without major strengthening would struggle in league one.

I’m still at a loss to explain that today.

I don’t get people saying the team lacked fight. They came back from 2-0 down by simply not going away and folding.

However, there are players in that team that simply aren’t good enough. In the first half Ralls didn’t put a single tackle in on the Jack midfield and continually slowed the play down by not playing the brave forward pass.

I’m starting to worry about Allsop in goal (how many shots does he actually stop ?) and Ojo just does not do it often enough for me.

We have a winger in Philogene who had them on toast and Kaba, whilst limited, comes alive if he has a decent ball into the box to attack. The movement of the ball to free up Philogene simply has to be quicker.

You could see Lamouchi urging that quicker movement of the ball. When we did that we scored two goals from open play.

We have made it more difficult to stay up than it needs to be but I still think we can do it. But we need results against Rotherham (again !!), Huddersfield and Blackpool, any others are bonuses.

I like what Lamouchi is doing with limited resources but he’ll be gone if we get relegated. But with a fit Sawyers, Etete, Robinson, O’Dowda and Colwill we really should have enough.

Today McGuiness, Friday maybe Ralls, wintle or the keeper. The fact is Sabri has inherited a below average squad that is mentally weak
I would even say they did actually try, just second best to a rival team that are mid table
Second half they could barely keep the Football

I Said this a few months back - We seem to give up a lot of points in the last 10 mins + of games ...

After the Reading game and a new manager thought things had changed - Again today 2-0 down and got it back to 2-2 .
Thought the fight was there and a point and avoid the Double/Double was done - How Wrong :?: :shock: :?

Great Post.
I have said Ralls should start but last few games especially yesterday showed he has gone.
Allsop needs dropping.
Ojo flatters to deceive.

But for some to say they lack flight is a bit crap really.

f**k the "double double" and all else, some of us need to look in the mirror. Years ago after an early goal like that, the fans would erupt. Yesterday, it was like a library with the jacks out singing us (again!!!!). "Bad for my health", christ we're in a dog fight!!

If we go down, it'll be earned and deserved. I still think we've got the minerals to stay up, but we've gone SOFT!!!!!

I just think we’ve got nothing to sing about it was like here we go again :roll: our songs are crap to the allez allez chant is done now the drum doesn’t help at all just basically banging

Agree with the song selection. Again, it's not the away day it once was for these travelling teams. The standard argument is about the product etc, but let's be honest, the performances haven't been the reason we all show up year after year, is it?? We're an easy days work

I personally think teams come to our ground now and fancy it years ago it be a tough game,the jacks come here now and basically take the piss could see from minute one our players didn’t want to know again stood off second to every ball embarrassing :roll: we all turn up year after year because we love the club but the clubs a shit show at the moment and it’s hard for us to take 4 derby defeats in a row especially when the club is being run like it is it’s embarrassing :cry:

I think our players were up for it and pulled it back from 2 nil down, they're just not very good and need a better plan set out by the manager.

You can't bring in 17 freebies or whatever and expect to be in the top half unless some miracle happens. Under par budget squad on paper trying to stay up witj signings like wickham who didnt get a deal from leagues below tells me everything. Its what I said would happen before a ball was kicked this season but we ain't down yet so thats one plus :bluescarf:


Spot on 100% agree .

I’m with you mate. Anyone know how much a season ticket is with Cardiff Blues?

Something needs to change not just on the field but off it. A buyer to come in with funds and some sort of 5 year plan to get us fans excited & some form of passion again. I look forward to one day where we could put 4 or 5 past the Jack's and make them feel how we feel now.

Jacks turn up for 2 games a season, just happens to be against us

We allow them to play their game and dictate us, especially initial 30 mins.

We were like rabbits in headlights for their 3 goals!
