Today's game and all the moaners

Sat Jan 15, 2011 5:06 pm

We were away to a good side. Most would have taken a draw before the game. We defended well for most of the game.

The stats from BBC are as follows

Possession 50% each

Shots on target Norwich 7 Cardiff 6

Shotts off target Norwich 7 Cardiff 4


Hardly a big gulf in class?

Get a grip.

I agree, most people would have taken a point before the game, draw was the fair result.

Nothing really to go on about, 2 good teams end to end game and I guess a draw was a fair result,its a shame we couldnt hold out but thats has happen to us a few time this season. They always score in the last few mins so I guess it was on the cards.

Its a good point away from home against a team who are doing well at the moment. I think most people would've taken a draw before the game. :ayatollah:

Agree, let's stay positive - good point against a good side, not a great side, but Jay should be back next week against a very good Watford side. Hopefully a good performance and three points :ayatollah:

Keep the faith !

but with three mins to go why r we switching off we got hammered for large periods of the game camped in our half with hoolighan running the show and jones dosent change it.

we got the goal and sat back

going to be tough 2 games in the league next but always eventfull being a city fan :ayatollah:

It's all just frustration after conceding in the last minutes. Give it a few hours and most will see that generally it was a good performance.

One thing I will say though is I think Olofinjana had a bad game. Was fairly absent where their midfield were running rampant pretty much all day. Needs to get stuck in more like earlier in the season and put pressure on anyone playing just behind the strikers. McPhail wasn't great either really and Whittingham was fairly pants. The defence had a lot of pressure put on them as a result of our midfield not being great so credit to them for keeping them out for so long. Also Parkin will hopefully prove to be a great asset going forward. Held up the ball and sucked in defenders very well, mostly in the first half admittedly.

Overall a good performance, just a bit hard to stomach right now considering the late goal.
