This is so frustrating.

Minging first half. Willock forced a great save and we finally look balanced and more difficult to breakdown without the ball.

Rubin at false 9 adds nothing, though.

3 points are on the table for both teams...

I'm normally very critical of Rubin but to be fair, playing him in this position doesn't help him

The game was pretty good for the first 15 mins. Since then pretty dire. Rinomota has had a decent half.

Just a thought ….Colwill is quite a big lad so why doesnt he challenge for headers? And Why are none of our big attackers much good at heading??

The first half comes to an end with the score level

A decent half from the Bluebirds, where they showed a bit of ‘bite’ and the only thing missing was a goal… :ayatollah:

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

colwill offers nothing playing up front like a false number 9

I don't think any team went out of secound gear, hopefully next half we start taking our half chances and make things happen

We have to play a striker second half. This game can be won. Colwill is not a 9 and not on form either. Etete or even Perace please.

I’d go along with that suggestion … stick Etete up top.

Surprised we're all still awake after that.

Need to bring Etete, Pearce or Meite on, this system isn't working.

Three points there for the taking, Watford look poor.

We've stayed awake through much worse :laughing6:

Definitely need to bring on a proper striker, Colwill looks lost.

True!

Yeah, I agree. Will actually say that it's not Colwill's fault, it's just not a good position to play him in.

Not the best half of football was it .
Ruben up to top just doesn't look like it's working for us or him .
Had chances to get the ball in the box and we've played backwards frustrating

Colwill is trying but he looks lost & his decision making is abysmal, once or twice he wasn't sure what to do with the ball so did nothing at all except let them take it back.

All subs are still warming up so it doesn't look like any changes at half time

Absolute Worldie of a goal.

A promising attack but again it's overworked as Willock crabs all the way across the area before Ng's cross is cleared.

Defending & doing their best to make sure there's no flow to the game by fouling to break up play.

A good period from the Bluebirds that almost broke the deadlock

Perry and winding up the opposition well…

Rubin Colwill shoots wide from an angle :laughing6:
