Championship - Cardiff City vs Ipswich Town Preview & Matchday Thread

[hallamblue]

Crafty little tactical “ injury” by us I see lol

[Charnwood]

Chaplin’s regular sit down for treatment to allow McKenna to reorganise the troops with new instructions

[Bluemike]

We look so so bad today, not in it

[hallamblue]

We’re not getting it together as an attacking force so far are we.

Edit . I don’t think Sarmiento offers us much I’d in honest snd burns not really attacking. He’s either on it or off it

We seem to be almost going through the motions in attack. No real desire to get to that ball.

[TODD66]

Just looks like we need to up everything by 10% and we would be in the game for sure.

Need to be a little sharper all round.

[hallamblue]

Does any ref ever give Town a decision? We get nothing in games do we!

[Cabanas Blue]

We need to get to HT level and hopefully KMc can sort them out.

[Bluemike]

3rd game running Moore has been rubbish, seen the ball a few times, done nothing with it every time

[hallamblue]

I feel we are very sloppy all over the park this half and almost treading water to get first half out the way. Just hope we don’t concede before HT

[hallamblue]

Why isn’t Burns making that run ? If he goes that and we feed him the pass he’s much more threat than getting it at a standstill on the by line!!

[Charnwood]

To be honest at this stage of the season it’s not about performances, it’s all about results and for me if we go in at half time all square I think McKenna will be happy.

[marko69]

Not able to follow as busy, but did do a wee scan read......., every week the comments are the same in the gameday thread --- sloppy, why this, why that, he's crap, etc etc ---->> then King KMcK sorts it. Confident it'll be no different.

COYB's

[Shed on tour]

Really poor. Yet again we started the game way off the pace and were lucky not to concede in the first 15 minutes. So slow at times in moving the ball. If we up our game certainly think it is there for the taking but need to improve considerably in the 2nd half.

[Mariner67]

We obviously need to step up in the second half, rocket at half time subs on early,fingers crossed it will happen for us.

[ashfordblue]

Dead right there Charners Cardiff should be at least 1-0 missed a simple chance, they are not letting our midfield settle, they are harassing us to make us make mistakes of which I've seen plenty, Hutch, Travis, Broadhead & Axel need to come on, plus Hamadi to liven it up, probably on 60 mins and Clarke still leaves his RB position wide open that's why I prefer Axel at RB

[Charnwood]

We know the longer the game goes on the more it will open up and the more opportunities will arise. We also know we have one of, if not the fittest squad in the Championship with more attacking options than most on the bench.

For me it was important to keep a clean sheet in the first half and I still expect to see us go on and win this game.

[Charnwood]

I think we’ll see Hutchinson, Broadhead and maybe Al-Hamadi in the next 5 or10 minutes.

[Charnwood]

The referee is making a few annoying mistakes like giving a goal kick instead of a corner which makes a huge difference to the passage of play.

[Bluemike]

This is so poor, they haven't needed a keeper on the pitch

[Charnwood]

They don’t need a keeper with a back line of six. The challenge now is how to break through it.

[hallamblue]

Hallelujah we’ve had a shot!!

[Charnwood]

Well they’ve pretty much given up trying to win the game unless they can catch us on the break which we need to be prepared for. It looks like the next 20 mins will be one way traffic trying to get past the parked bus.

[Charnwood]

Hallelujah we’ve had a shot!!

You’re not going to see too many of those Liz and they’re likely to come from longer and longer range.

[hallamblue]

YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS MOOORE

[TODD66]

Goooaaall!!

Get in there.

We do it again. Pace picks up and we score.

[Charnwood]

Fabulous finish that was

[Cabanas Blue]

Good finish COYB.

[Charnwood]

The bus will have to move now which should leave us space to go on and score again.

It’s not been pretty today but this has been very good game management and probably what we’re going to have to get used to.

[Charnwood]

I’ll feel more comfortable if we can grab a second goal

[Bluemike]

Just didn't see it coming, credit to Moore, great finish
