" Actually feeling positive after that '

Sat Aug 19, 2023 4:08 pm

Deflated leaving the stadium but also positive about the future.

We played very well against probably the best team in the league.

Disappointed it's another late goal but the players gave everything.

Ramsey's goal was unbelievable.

Very proud and I don't think any Cardiff fan will leave the stadium feeling anything but pride.

How did the new midfielder play?
Also why was Goutas taken off for Simpson?

Disappointing but we will be much better during the dark nights and all the players are on the same fitness levels not as they are now.

More additions coming will add to this squad and it was great to see our Manager changing tactics during the game, so a big thumbs up for him. We’ve waited a long time for a positive Manager.

Surely we must get some quality centre back cover as an urgent requirement

Hard to take a 92nd minute defeat, but the Cardiff team played with commitment til the end. We have to show that much effort against Sheffield Wednesday next week. Hopefully we can strengthen at centre half in the next week too.

Siopis , seems a good player. That's without training with the team !
He's like a Duracell Bunny he doesn't stop :)

Erol. Stop making substitutions when we are doing well. Simpson, Meite and Grant brought nothing to the team.

Meite came on at half time when we certainly weren’t doing well.

We don’t know if there were injuries for Ugbo and Goutas. That woikd explain the subs made.

It will come. There’s soo many positive signs shown today. We made the opposition look average for periods but lack of final product hurt us today which has been somewhat rare at times. They had way more quality in their squad than us and were on top at times .I’ll take that comparing to last season. The next 5-10 games we will stick 3 on someone at least.

We could well do that if we get a forward player who can actually score. With the exception of Ramsey's wonder goal we still looked pretty toothless up front.

I agree. We have played well against arguably two of the best teams in the league.

I didnt expect us to get anywhere near them today, let alone take it go the 92nd minute.

People need to realise we are a team that is under an embargo and cutting the wage bill.

Be realistic and support the boys.

Agreed, definitely some hope for the rest of the season.

I was at Leicester yesterday I thought we where always in the game but just disappointed we didn’t see the game out again conceding a goal so late in the game like it happened up at Leeds we got start keeping the ball in our opponents half more when the game is coming to a close I thought he might have started tanner I think he would have given them a lot of problems but again we should have defended better for there second goal I’m not criticising anyone because overall I thought it was a good performance

Siopis looked very good when he came on, didn't stop running.

I can only assume Goutas had a knock because he was doing well.

Fans were top class as always and team played well. That goal by Ramsey was a real "I was there" moment for all the City fans.

A great day out other than the result.

Can’t agree about Meite. Thought he looked a handful for the best defence in the league. End product not quite there but for the time being willing to give the benefit of the doubt and attribute it to rustiness

I am one of those who feel that we could be at the start of a good period for the club. The manager seems right. His signings appear to be OK (generally) and Ramsey's return has so far proved to be a wise decision. But we still have to overcome that lack of confidence, especially at home. We will know more about where we are as a team after Saturday. The players will be encouraged by the way they performed today, even if they are disappointed with the result. So the Sheffield game could give them the opportunity to show our own fans what they can do. I've a feeling (more a hope) that we could turn it on Saturday and coordinate our attacks well enough to score some goals. Looking forward to the season.
