* The Unofficial "Official" Match-day Bluebirds v Boro Thread*

chuffed for payero today, he played really well second half, BAmbo stood strong when Cardiff came at us at the start of the second half and was MotM for me.

Lumley - 8 - two great saves
Howson 8 - brilliant maurading forward from FB
Bamba - 9 - Imperious
McNair - 7 - never really put under pressure, not as involved goign forward as the last 2 games, but played steady
Peltier - 7 - steady as a rock
Tav - 7 - improveent from last week, but more to come
Crooks - 8 - wroked his socks off
Payero - 8.5 - Improved on the last game, which was an improvement on the previous game, which was an improvement on the previous game. He'll be the new Maradonna if he improves each of the next 5 games
Hernandez - 6 - periphery today, but put the effort in
Ikpeazu - 6- was manhandled all game, but made poor decisions today
Sporar - 7 - would have been 8 but he didn't get the passes his movement deserved
Jones - 7- Had their RB on toast, and he should have had a second yellow
Watmore -7 - unlucky not to be going home with another goal

Warnock - 8 - got the tactics right from the off, out warnocked McCarthy. Changed things tactically, getting Howson further forward, when Cardiff went through a 15 minute spell.

Team performance - 8 - 2-0 away win is never easy, but we made it look easy today
Certainly more than a 6 for big Uche
 
A deserved win only really marred by us not making more of the numerous chances we created.
If we sort that out then we'll be in a much better position to come out on top in more games.
 
Lumley 7
Howson - 8
Bamba - 8
McNair -8
Peltier -8
Tav - 6
Hernandez - 6
Crooks - 8
Payero -9
Ikpenzu -9
Sporar -8

some real stand out performances today that could really kick on their seasons
 
3 2-0’s in a row, thoughts and prayers with those who want him gone

I’m one of those but I’m enjoying this run.
I can’t help but notice the standard (and form) of the opposition recently though, but you can only beat what’s in front of you.
Here’s hoping we keep it going when the tougher tests come. For now, let’s just enjoy it. UTFB
 
Yes the opposition has poor but 3 games ago I would say we looked on a par with them type of teams so to be honest I have to credit Warnock massively for this as I didn’t see it. I hope he has seen though Crooks and Payero is a real partnership worth continuing with. Way better than anything else we have seen for a while. They are the blueprint for me.
 
oh Gaz, if he keeps winning 2-0 I'm happy, I still find his football dull but I'll accept that if he gets us up
Slammed sky for making their minds up, seems you’ve made yours up about Warnock. Not sure how anyone could say we boring or dull today
