CARDIFF CITY DEFENDED WELL TODAY / BUT ITS JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Yes some will say we only had 10men, but it was 1-1 with 11 players and many times when your reduced to 10 players the team fights even harder and have Won many of these type of games.

City are stuck 2nd from Bottom of the Championship and now it’s Boro away.

This just papers over the big cracks, Us fans can not be happy just to stay up.



THOSE WHO SAY THEY WILL SETTLE FOR THIS / HAVE NOW BECOME JUST HAPPY EACH YEAR TO STRUGGLE & STAY UP:





We need Ambition and money invested in the team and still we need a good manager if we want to progress.

THATS ONE WIN FROM 11 GAMES & 7 PTS FROM 33PTS



Problem is our only good player upfront Callum Robinson is now banned.






Cardiff had a good first half and Deserved the H-T 1-0 lead.


6mins: GOAL! Cardiff City 1-0 Coventry City (Robertson 6)
First goal at home for Cardiff since November 9! Four hours and 53 minutes since David Turnbull's strike against Blackburn.




NIGHTMARE 2ND HALF START:
GOAL! Cardiff City 1-1 Coventry City (Sakamoto 46)
Nightmare restart for Cardiff. Sakamoto scores.


47th min: Callum Robinson sent off, harsh but Robinson waved his arm around and it made contact.
Replay showed the ref had No choice but to.



Alnwick was then called in to continuous action with some great saves.

Cardiff should have been losing but defence was working hard.


69th min:
Willock off, Tanner on.
Ashford off, Meite on.


City defended well and could have easily lost this game.

But a point is not good enough.

To be honest disappointed we conceded the way we did .sending off killed the game .
But this team showed again they have fight desire and passion.
We could of even won the game if tanner took it forward more.
So overall a good performance sio was brilliant

Sending off killed the game. At lest the players put in a shift and are fighting but the gap is now worrying and other teams are picking up form. We won't get out of this unless we can string 3 or 4 wins together. Need a striker immediately.

I stand by Riza is not good enough.

Definitely not good enough should have been out of sight first half

Cardiff should have taken there chances in the first half, we are in a massive battle to stay up, Chambers looks good in MF he's not good enough as CB.

I stand by Riza is not good enough.


Mark Robbins just gone to stoke he is the type of manager we needed and he could of come here so I agree with you.Last two games we've played with all the right credentials to push us up the league. Bora is gonna be hard.
Thought Riza managed the subs well today a positive performance but we should be getting 3 points the sending off killed everything for us .in the end proud we got a point

We need a quality manger, we can’t except managers like Riza.

Yes thankfully they are now fighting, but we can’t be happy just staying up all the time.

7pts from 33pts and some are happy.

I totally agree with you .ill be at the Swansea game protesting tan needs to go ive never liked the man since the rebrand. Our league position isn't good enough again and again and I'm one of many frustrated angry fans .
Nice to see us fighting on the pitch though way overdue. Unfortunately I think we will go down tan isn't gonna give us what we need to stay up he's proved that

Shocking goal to give away, comedy defending. Showed fight though and Tanner should have won it.

Meite too but he pissed me off by just walking off at the end so f**k him

Should of gone in signing to 2 or 3 nil up, knew only being one up would bite us. But their goal was pathetic defending, since his injury Daland looks short of confidence and just getting out championshiped

We had nice moments going forward, Chambers in MF looks good and lets Siopsis play better, Goutas looks a fking rock lately as well.

Thought Riza did perfect subs, just shame about the red card

There as definitely been a shift of tactics since new coach comes in ... probably should have won but red card altered dynamics of game but we still went forward and I thought both miete and Tanner should have scored with their shots but let's hope slight improvements continues

Pep, Klopp or Mourinho couldn't get a tune out of that forward line, its so poor. Meites, Willock, El Ghastly, Kanga and Tanner wouldn't get a game at any other championship club and Robinson would be a squad player.

We just can't hurt teams

Thought Goutas should have either put the ball out for a throw in or fouled their player before it even got into our box and Daland should have done better and then they were lucky the ball bounced off Alnwick hit Daland and dropped nicely for them to have an easy equaliser

4th ref killed the game completely with the ridiculous decision to send Robbo off. Was sure there was nothing in it when it happened but seeing the replay during the game it was 100% wrong decision. Hopefully the club will appeal.

Having said that we should have taken 3pts, we came out sloppy and slow at the start of the 2nd half which cost us the goal. 2 clear penalty shouts not given proves that ref was an absolute joke.

Riza’s subs left me completely baffled…. He set us up to defend the point!! And he was slow with his selections.

He should have sacrificed Chambers and put Rubin on to help Ashford, Tanner on for Willock and Ng on for Rinhomotta….. gone 4-2-3 with Robertson and Sio sitting slightly back and leaving Cian, Rubin and Ollie to rotate up top on the break being 3 of the 4 quickest players we currently have.

Not overly happy with the point but it is better than none.

On to Boro
