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

[indeedido]

Uche is not an intelligent footballer.

He is terminally dim.

 

[ForssAwakens]

I don't agree, even a win today wouldn't prove anything, he has to show more against midtable sides and above.

No pleasing some fans.

 

[Diego]

Uche needs to wind it in like

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Playing well.... Against a **** poor side.

The decision making at the last second beggers belief. Just a simple square ball would have team mates in better positions (Uche and Tav as usual).

Uche is a sending off waiting to happen. I'd get Watmore or Josh on at HT.

It's a bit like the Hull game but we're wining. Just playing an awful side but need a 2nd as I'm sure Moore will come on and they will he more route 1 in the final 10.

 

[Diego]

I really like Crooks and Payero partnership. A winner so far

 

[SuperStu]

they've made a stance and are sticking to it now. Fact is, if you handle a shot on target, even accidental, you are going to give a penalty away. They need to be calling the shirt pulling too if they're gonna be impartial

So it should be as well. It's a shot on target and their players saved it with his hand.

"Oh but it was by my side!!" - who cares? A saves a save.

"Oh but it was accidental!!" - they always are. Scarcely ever see a defender make an intentional save with their hands.

We should have had three pennas and no doubt they’ll talk about our “dodgy” one at half time. We should be four up if the wide man passes to one of our two free men waiting for a tap in.

No pleasing some fans.

plenty of pleasing me, need to see us putting performances in against better teams, other than Sheff Utd we've played poorly against middle and above for 10 months. The last 8 days we've played fairly well against 3 of the poorest sides, but lacked an ability to kill games off

 

[Diego]

How bad is he!? Although like the above post, Cardiff are one of the worst teams I've seen in a long time.

Agree pal

My thought on the penalty was that he tried to get his arm out of the way and it ended up looking like he moved his arm to block the shot. Had he not moved it the ref wouldn't have given the penalty kick.

In real time it looked like he lifted his arm to block the shot. In slomo he was clearly trying to get his arm out of the way.

 

[Caesium137]

Most chances created in a first half under Warnock apparently.

 

[Laughing]

I wish I had your faith!

Told ya so.

 

[Tomato Soup]

The points should be safe already. I'm worried that surely, Cardiff can't be as bad in the 2nd half and the longer it stays 1-0 the more the momentum will shift.

 

[natarli1]

What are Boro fans chanting? 'You're just a sh*t ?'

Absolutely dominated them for large parts of the games

 

[futureboy]

Told ya so.

I still have none. Wouldn't be surprised if our goal was rescinded by the FA at half time. That's how little faith I have!

 

[sambaDTR]

Get Coburn on. He will score a hat trick against this defence.

P.S. We need another two to get in the playoff spot!

 

[HundredRoom]

If Boro were being dominated as much at home as Cardiff are I would be worried beyond belief.

Absolute shocker from Cardiff.
But as Barry Davies said - who cares.

 

[indeedido]

We have completely dominated the match, but woeful finishing and even worse decision making means they are only a goal behind when they should be at least four down.
Payero and Crooks are an excellent pairing as Diego said.

.... Payero tends to be more prominent in the 2nd half.
