Danny Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Derby at home, under the lights after our first win of the season. With the way we've played all season and now finally getting a win as well as 3 screamers in one game I've gotta fancy us to win. I feel like we may lose or draw, that typical Brentford reaction, but with the way everyone's playing at the moment we've gotta be beating Derby.

Fairy In Boots Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Not enthusiastic at all, Just want Bruce out despite the wins. It's pure luck at this point and a decent squad being able to beat poor opposition, we'll get spanked by a decent side because his in game management is piss poor.

Lucas Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Cardiff away. We used to always lose here. The tide has turned a little the last couple years but still a difficult place for us to go as they don't like us getting one over them. It will be interesting to see how we line up for this and whether we go there to attack as we have been or try and be a bit more conservative. Right now, we've only played one way and whilst it's been exciting to see, Ipswich we're exposing us a little Saturday. Not a fan of Warnock at all so hoping he's not smiling at full time that's for sure. Would probably take a draw although it's well within us to win there also.

Pig on the Wing Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Last time we played at Ashton Gate, we received the dry-bumming of our lives; a quite astonishing 6-0 defeat. With this group of pub-league players, what score are we going for this time, Len? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of our clubs seem to have a good vibe back (yours with last season and how you started this season and us with Warnock) so hoping for a good atmosphere tonight (we've apparently sold around 25,000 for tonight and I assume your lot will have sold out, even in midweek and the distance). All I can say is good luck and may the best Welsh team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ralls and Gunners out. Well fuck. Bamba going to crunch some legs in a defensive midfield role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Interesting team new from us. O'Kane missing is huge, he's ill. Going to miss him tonight. Saiz and Lasogga on the bench, presumably rested with the Wednesday game in mind Sunday. Pontus Jansson and Berardi in in defence. Remains to be seen whether TC choosing to rest players works a treat or is a major fuck up. Really disappointed Saiz isn't playing as he's been something else but here's hoping those coming in do us proud. We can't rely on the same players after all...

Administrator Stan Posted September 26, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 26, 2017 Half hour gone and Cardiff take the lead against Leeds. Kenneth Zohore with the goal. Puts them top as it stands. Ipswich also beating Sunderand 2-1 to put more pressure on Grayson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 26, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 26, 2017 Lead doubled for Cardiff! Resting Lasogga and Saiz is backfiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Can't complain at all. Started a little slow but got into the game as the half wore on. Whoever the stupid twat was that lunged at Mendez-Laing at the end the first half needs an absolute hiding. Already on a yellow and then you do that (Not that I'm complaining mind). Leeds haven't done much so far but I can see how they're joint top so far. Can't sit back for the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairy In Boots Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Good result that, looking forward to Bolton now we are not out of this yet. Although I suspect at some point Bruce will get out foxed, I think this squad is good enough to get to the playoffs though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 26, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 26, 2017 Terrible times for Bolton. 6th loss in a row? Big wins for Vill away at Burton, Preston away at hull, Ipswich at home to Sunderland and especially Cardiff bagging 3 points over Leeds. Strong Fulham performance away at Forest aswell.

Lucas Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well that was gash. Congratulations @Bluebird Hewitt, you deserved it. 1. Badly missed O'Kane. He is the link between defence and attack. Klich looked absolutely lost in that role summed up by his carelessness giving the ball away for the first goal which changed the game. 2. We made too many changes. I get why TC did this given how many games we've had this month but this was not the game to take that chance. Lasogga and Saiz should have played. We looked less potent in attack as a result. 3. Didn't think Cardiff were anything special, there were long periods where we had nearly 60% of the ball but we really didn't look threatening. Cardiff were efficient in the final third of the pitch where it counts. They deserved the three points tonight but the game did massively swing from a pretty mundane affair with that massive mistake by us. Thought Cardiff's other two goals were decent. 4. It's the second defeat of the season against a side that has bullied us and been a bit more direct. Clearly, we are going to have to learn and get to grips that we cannot play the same way all the time and need to be adaptable to the different kind of opponent we face. 5. No idea what planet Liam Cooper was on tonight but it wasn't Earth. Could have had two Red Cards let alone one. Miles away from winning the ball. He has been decent up to tonight so I can excuse this 'mare. 6. Very underwhelmed with how quiet and dead the atmosphere seemed tonight. Felt more like 12th was playing 14th than 1st v 3rd. I know we sung all second half but even first half at 0-0, we were spookily quiet. Cardiff fans I expected to be bouncing and raising the volume more. 7. Have to hand it to Warnock. He's beaten us in his last four games against us. Not his greatest fan but you can't knock him, he get's his teams to play to their strengths and makes them a tough nut to break. Cardiff were pretty comfortable tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Hewitt Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 That's pretty much us in a nutshell. We aren't pretty, we won't dominate possession and we will be direct (or attack with pace). However, we will be difficult to break down, we will be rough and will fight until the final whistle goes (Well, except Preston away). Bamba was man of the match for me tonight. Thought he was superb tonight. Was great to see Zohore's name on the scoresheet as well. Hopefully this'll give him extra confidence in front of goal. Despite not needing to do much, Etheridge did well when Leeds broke through our defence for both shots. Couldn't do anything for Leeds goal.
