Yes they do and sadly that is down to Dave Jones. He has stated publicly that he does not share the passion for this Derby as we do and he does not understand it for which to me is all wrong. To D.J its just another game, even Brendan Rodgers could see this was not like no other game. The players are carrying out the orders from DJ and DJ in my opinion was to respective of the jacks instead of telling the lads to go out and express themselves like he normally does and gives the likes of Bellamy Chopra Burke Whittingham a free reign he tried tying them up in tactics which is not one of Dave Jones strong points,and because of this we lost and we lost bad yesterday. In short in one game Cardiff City let themselves down on National TV with a thoroughly gutless tactically inept performance. Wednesday i believe D.J will get it right again until we play the Jacks again when he will want to stamp his it doesnt matter attitude on us. :cry:

Definately means more to the Swansea players and while I don't always go with some of the stick DJ gets, he has to put them in the right frame of mind when he sends them out there and send the right signals from the touchline. Twice from my position in the Canton end I could see DJ urging the players to calm down, whereas I wanted them to get stuck in and work as hard as the Swansea players were working. It was driving me fuq'ing nuts. After they had scored I think that DJ could sense it was as hopeless as many of us in the crowd could.

Many Cardiff fans should have raised themselves to encourage the team more in the second half, too many stagnant sections of the ground that seemed to accept defeat too easily. The players did little to inspire us and throughout most of the first half we really got behind them but I think it was after that spell where Swansea had us on the ropes incessantly (UNTIL THEY RELIEVED THE PRESSURE BY PASSING IT ALL THE WAY BACK TO THEIR KEEPER WHEN WE WERE COMPLETELY AT SIXES AND SEVENS :lol: ) that the crowd could really tell which set of players wanted it more.

Regardless the fans should've kept going, despite the fact we are not paid to do so and most of those who are played gratuitous amounts accepted their fate too easily. :roll:
