SouthernSmoggie 4,223 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I don't think we've been that bad. Gave away a stupid goal and the final ball has been missing (as usual). As long as its 1 we're still in it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tbh I agree with him. Cardiff haven’t done much. Could easily get a point. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Changing Times 12,211 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Got to use the ball better. We cause them problems when we actually move it around a bit. Cardiff arent exactly a footballing side themselves and they are dominating possession. Still something in this for us if we can get hold of the ball and bring our attacking players into it. Will take some of the pressure off the defence as well at the same time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Awful goal to concede, poor half of football, Cardiff look like they're coasting through this game. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 We had 3/4 overload counter attack opportunities that half but lacked the pace and final pass on the end of it to convert them into goals sums us up at the moment. Tav and Roberts swapping and occupying the same position an awful lot I'm not sure if that's helping our attacks or making them predictably narrow. i'm just happy to memory hole this whole season to be honest now we're safe but Warnock isn't joking when he says we need 6 new players for our first team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AnglianRed 6,229 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Pretty scrappy first half. Cardiff definitely played the better football, but really shouldn't be a goal up. Only ahead thanks to our awful defending. Considering their record & league position I thought Boro dealt with them fairly well. Had a few defensive scares, but not unexpected, given who we have available to play there. Overall we haven't played well, but put a few good attacking moves together. Sadly never quite found a good final ball, or when we did there was no-one able to get on the end. Still in this game, but we have to improve right across the pitch...and hope Cardiff don't. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We can still get back into this IMO. I reckon we have defended well from open play or at least got better under Warnock but from set pieces weve been so so woeful. Link to post Share on other sites

Just looks awkward out there. Don’t think he’s technical enough or has enough flair to be a creative player. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroJake 2,331 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 There's definitely an opportunity for us to get back into this. Cardiff haven't been good Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Dijksteel has played well again. Looks more confident and composed on the ball then earlier in the season. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,384 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 They look vulnerable on their left flank. Bennett has been isolated a couple of times. Come on lads. We can get something here. Link to post Share on other sites

I think Warnock is just lacking players with pace and is using what he has to try and recreate the style he does best. Link to post Share on other sites

I think Dijksteel will come good next season. Got all the attributes you need as a full back. Quick, strong, decent in the air and tackle. Can't take any of the signings performances under Woodgate into account because he was an absolute clown. Under a decent coach Bola and Browne will most likely offer more aswell.
