MATCH THREAD: “ CARDIFF CITY v MIDDLESBROUGH “ MATCH THREAD

Cardiff go on the attack, slow the ball right down and lose it, everytime

We slowed down, stopped moving and pressing now Boro are getting into the game. We gone so slow again

Ng clears away free kick by Boro

Cardiff manage to half-clear it before Hackney attempts a speculative shot from 25 yards. Horvath collects.

We are waiting to concede,so slow and predictable, no flare players on the pitch.

This Ref is pretty bad.

At this rate against a very weak Boro side, we won’t be Top 6, it will be Bottom 6

Our best player going off

Daland comes off. He's replaced by Goutas.

A very boring first half, with no flare or excitement. Reindorf would have been a pleasure to watch in this game.

Oh sweet lord Goutas is on

This is where I fear at the back we will get unlocked, goutas has been terrible of late and I fear he could cost us here in a very scrappy poor half so far

Robertson best player on the pitch 1st half by a mile

I would like to see sio off and rubin on at half time we don't need a holding midfield we are defensive enough

Top 6. Not seen any evidence yet

That people was like watching two conference mid table sides playing a nothing game at the end of the season.

Although one positive so far is they found the ball 100 meters from the ground in the industrial estate from our only shot from Siopis.

He needs to swap about three players at half time and change this game or we will probably lose this I feel as Boro can't be much worse either 2nd half I'm sure, even though they have been the better side first half in truth.

Is there a block button on this forum so I can block any delusional folk who keeps harping on about top six talk, what planet are they on. Seriously..

H-T 0-0

You can see why the Stadium looks empty and only 4 games in:


FIRST-HALF: “Over all pretty dire and Cardiff Toothless in front of goal.

A first half where neither side showed any authority, as both sides seem a little hesitant up front

Daland off injured and replaced by Goutas, who was our most used player last season

Not bad though from the Bluebirds and with great options from the bench, I feel this game is well within our grasp…

HALF-TIME SCORE: CARDIFF CITY 0 - 0 MIDDLESBROUGH (45+4 mins)

Both teams can't be happy with that first half ? Absolutely poor league two standard, things need to change next half shocking

As this ref got rose tinted glass on? We touch them its a foul but not other way around!
Just a tad biased me thinks..

Absolute garbarge

So slow - clueless

Some early patches of good play, but we get near the box and its game over

i hate being negative i really do but we are poor, surely this got to be buluts tactics ? we have some really good players all playing well below par, its so frustrating to watch

Far too slow.

Robertson the only midfielder trying to push us forward, watch us sub him off.

Siopis has been awful.

Ramsey not the player we think he is.

Need to get Colwill and Robinson on ASAP.

Ref has been shit.

What am i missing with Meite? I feel like i must be missing something? Why persist with him when he does nothing.

Well considering we ment to be more attacking this season it’s not very good I feel sorry for kanga with that type of service any forward would struggle not impressed so far

Nothing half of football. Terrible to watch. Ramsey and Meite are carrying on their awful form to begin the season. Siopis has had a decent game so far though. Yet again we have created absolutely nothing for our attacking players to work with. Hopefully Colwill, El Ghazi and Tanner are introduced at the break or very shortly after otherwise this game will slowly get away from us.

What am i missing with Meite? I feel like i must be missing something? Why persist with him when he does nothing.

Agree

Ramsey is finished at this level! I said it last week and I’ll say it again, he’s like an old dog who’s waiting to be put down.

We can be happy we’ve not conceded a goal
