MATCHWATCH : Cardiff City (h)

[NewCorkSeth]

I actually can't.

LOL I think we will get something out of this, I got that feeeeeling

Let me know next time you have that feeling.

[NewCorkSeth]

Also, Abrefa for the most part showing his value, Ehib showing some nice feet too.

They're good enough for these cameos at the very least.

Maybe you were right about Ince as a 10.

[NewCorkSeth]

Pleasantly surprised by a lot of that game.

[Brogue]

The only downside from today is that bbc berks haven’t sacked Rita. Every single fcuking text she reads out she falls over her words. My 10 year old daughter is better at reading aloud than her.

She’s better at reading Reading messages?

Thought we were superb today after an awful opening 20 mins

Everyone worked their socks off and were clearly shattered at the end. 100% commitment throughout

Lumley was excellent. Defence got better as it went and NGW was very good after a poor start

Hendrick excellent and worked well with Fornah who along with Ejaria got better as they went and we were well on top second half in midfield

Long was brilliant. Nothing flashy but finally a forward who wins dodgy fouls and constantly harasses the defence into mistakes. Far better than I was expecting

Tom Ince really good. Makes you wonder how his Stoke career went wrong. Best player on the pitch by a distance

Cardiff we’re outfought and pretty poor throughout. Undoubtedly got the better decisions from a poor referee inc the dreadful non sending off. Rino - well can see one of the reasons why our midfield was so dominated in his time here. Headless chicken. Better off without.

Anyway delighted with that.

I hate the whole thing of reading out texts from muppets anyway but my God she is (and always has been) absolutely terrible.

100% this. It’s going to be a very happy drive back home . This performance has given me a lot of hope. They battled like warriors today.

Are you talking about when Hendrick tried to kick his head off his shoulders?

[CountryRoyal]

I like the look of Fornah.

Will be interesting to see that one again. Looked in real time like Hendrick was waiting for the ball to drop, swung and as he did Rino went diving in head first. Still a duty on the player not to endanger another player so probably right to be a free kick.
The incident right at the end where a Cardiff defender threw Ehitb into the boards was worse, totally intentional and no excuse of having his eye on the ball !

[Nameless]

I like the look of Fornah.

First half he looked like a schoolboy, did some good stuff second half but doesn’t look physically strong. Hopefully he will develop as he clearly has ability. Can’t see him starting ahead of Loum next week....

Yes was almost literally headless after that

But he was really poor prior to that. Noticeably so

Thought he was decent throughout from 20 mins in but certainly got better

Thought he looked pretty strong personally. But Loum will come in ahead of him, but useful back up

[windermereROYAL]

Just got home and read the whole thread, FFS Jimmy. you do make yourself look stupid.

[windermereROYAL]

Referee saying Ince took the ball too wide for the pen to award a red card, it was a tap in you fucking clown.

Agreed with a fair amount of that, there’s a lot to appreciate about Meite’s game but Long’s presence was more rewarding, still got a fantastic leap

Don’t want to disrespect Rinomhota, was a real shining light for a long period but completely anonymous today and perhaps shown the absence of him (and Laurent) is overstated

Yeah, that was some real thuggery. Ehitb looked pretty bright didn't he? Big fella too unless my eyes deceived me.

[NewCorkSeth]

It's very funny that. When Yiadom was chatting to him he gestured as if to say "he was moving away from goal". Awful decision. Even Cardiff fans are saying that.
