But I keep wanting us to build a decent squad and play good football and I seem to be in a minority on here so what the hell. Sign em all back on. I actually rate Johnson. I'm bias I suppose. But hes a top bloke, honest pro and has given his all to the cause. Theres far worse to have at lwb or lw. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

That's the reality, isn't it? 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Suspect that we're not in a position to buy in decent players though, so it's going to be free signings and cheap rubbish that can "do a job". As such, whilst I'd like to never see Marv tackle again, given the number of freekicks he's given away on the edge of the box in recent weeks, as a possible left wing alternative/backup on the cheap, I'd understand offering him a contract. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

It is definitely not as boring as under the pulis days. We can play some quite good stuff at times. Hopefully we'll see it more next season if warnock stays Cardiff played some decent stuff under Warnock, especially when they were in the Championship. They were solid and shut teams down when they needed to, but could also be quite attacking. Link to post Share on other sites

The last couple of games hes looked okay. But realistically all hes been doing is spamming balls into the box - some decent some not so good. Every other aspect of his game is poor to average. Not to mention the 3 years of absolute rubbish weve had of him until now. We can do a lot better, and hopefully will. Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 A goal and an assist from Roberts today. This is going to be an unpopular post, but is it really unfathomable that woodgate could have had us clear of relegation by now if hed had Roberts available? I'm thinking the games like barnsley, luton, wigan, Blackburn, forest etc where we just didnt have that creative spark in the final third. Its clearly going to be shot down but Roberts has made a massive difference today, we could very well have been walking away with nothing but for him. I think wed have picked up enough points by now had we had him for those games mentioned above. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Marv loves being at the Boro though. He has turned down 3 opportunities already to try stay here. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
