Special mention for Joe Ralls

Sat Aug 26, 2023 9:30 pm

Ralls was absolutely fantastic today ran himself into the ground going for tackles his passing was superb that's the ralls I know. And what a breath of fresh air hearing people say "I don't normally rate him but he was class today" he was my man of the match

I’ve always been a Ralls fan and he has come in for some unfair criticism in my opinion from some fans, but I think he has been brilliant this season and we definitely missed him when he went off at Leeds. His passion for club and fans is second to none like Rambo it’s no coincidence that since Rambo has been here he has been brilliant. He loves the club and I wish we had more like him.

He certainly enjoyed playing with the freedom that both Ramsey and Siopis got without letting midfield go to pot. Strongest looking midfield we’ve had for a while.

I like Wintle and what composure to roll the pen in on 98 but for me Ralls just gives you more strength and an all round CM player.

The 3 that started yesterday would be my choice but to have EA, RC & RW as cover is as strong a midfield as we've had for a long time.

Totally agree mate. Having Siopis in there allowed Ralls to do what he does best. Our midfield was fantastic yesterday.

Ralls is a massive miss when he doesn't play and definitely doesn't get the credit he deserves alot of the time from some of our fans. 100 percent reliable and loyal to us, trys to keep us ticking over.
Was nice to see him in that midfield with better players around him, outstanding performance

Another great performance from Ralls. This man needs a chant. He's Cardiff through and through.

It was a decent team performance against Wednesday still nowhere near perfect but for the first time in years it looked like we had a “proper” midfield yesterday

We played through the midfield rather than bypassing it

This season has already shown how pivotal he is to our success.

He's had a good start to the season, i heard he was good again today against Ipswich

Never been his greatest fan but noticed this season that we are so much better when he's on the pitch than when he goes off.

Re: Special mention for Joe Ralls

He's one of our best players it's a fact and now everyone can see it without him we just don't tick

Always appreciated what Ralls does, he was a bit of a cross between Whitts and Gunnar, better passer than Gunnar better tackler than Whitts but Warnock made him into a midfield stopper, it's great to see the passer coming back.

I think Wintle can come in and sub for Rall's, but he came on and sat as a defensive two rather than the linking role Joe was playing.

Not surprised that we went to pieces again when he went off. It's not a coincidence anymore it happens alot.

Yes defo. But the question must be asked, why can't he play 90 mins. He's been subbed around 70 minutes every game, then we fall apart.

Whatever the reason, it needs addressing asap.
