Robin Johnson 616 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 We have entered our best form for quite a while. 3 on the bounce, no goals conceded- canβt argue with those stats. We may now have a belief . Ok we havenβt played the strongest of opponents but wins are wins. Balance looks better, pace looks better, all in all encouraging. I for one did not think Warnock still had it in him to get a revival weβre seeing. Link to post Share on other sites

Still not entirely convincing by any means, but when BoroΒ were on top, they looked energised and more importantly put together some good teamwork to create several decent chances. Just a shame they were let down by some poor finishing. Don't think a 3-0 scoreline would have flattered us and really we could have scored 4 or 5. That said, Cardiff were unlucky to not get on the scoresheet. How that effort that bounced off the underside of the bar stayed out I will never know. But when you're in those situations, luck does tend to desert you. Generally pretty happy, but still some lingering concerns about Boro's fragility at the back and tendency to switch off at times. Against better teams we will be punished. Β Its a weird situation. 3 wins in a row we should be buzzing...and some of us may well be. But we've been lucky to play 3 struggling teams in a row. While we couldn't have done any more results-wise, I think its been a case of making hay while the sun shines. Think the Luton game will be a better indicator of where we are in the pecking order. But well done Neil and the lads. π Good summing up that AR echoes my thoughts exactly 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Colonel 18 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Fair play to you lads, you came to Cardiff and got the job done. 8 losses in a row for us and we might well be in the relegation zone later today.

Β Agreed. We do seem to be slowly improving and starting to gel as a team, but the real acid test will come when we have to face some better teams. Think we have enough about us to no longer worry about relegation, but may be a bit premature to start thinking about the play-offs. Β 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Tarmo Kink Army 1,122 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Payero has changed our attacking style for the better, also Tav not having the beat of games shouldnβt mean we drop him if he gets his head up more heβs class Link to post Share on other sites

Β We are winning games we should win. Peterborough and Barnsley were both must win games. Today I was less convinced despite the form coming into the game but I thought it was pretty clear where their heads are at. They had one decent spell and fair play to us for playing through it but they were all over the place for most that game. Reflecting on the performances of all the teams we've played this week, Cardiff were arguably the worst. We did get a lucky break with the penalty but we were well in the game even before that, it's not like that was the turning point in the game. We should have won by plenty more. Credit where it's due for beating what we should beat and doing it in a way where poor finishing at times is the difference between a 2-0 win and a rout. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

He has been working his socks off at both ends and creatively he is some way ahead of Jones, Hernandez etc. Decisions at times are really poor but he's too good to drop for me. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
