Capt. Pants 4,234 Posted January 16, 2021 Great result although I couldn't really tell which team had 10 men! Lots of huff and puff from Cardiff but no real quality in final third. Comfortable win in the end. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Always a yard behind the opposition players, give's away the ball inviting pressure ! You can get a heart attack with this guy in your team ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree we started the second half with no intensity but after that we broke and had a player advantage 4 or 5 times in the second half and we really should have finished the game off. Yes, one more goal would have done it. To me it looks as if we come out thinking right, let's keep it tight, but all that happens is that it invites pressure. I would far rather we just keep going with the positivity we showed in the first half. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jerrykerry 223 Posted January 16, 2021 Good to see the pinkun idiots are keeping their form up. McLean had a good game, so let's attack hugill, who has played about 45 minutes of football in 3 months. Bunch if absolute ars*s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought Hugill was good enough for us today. He played well, got the assist for the second goal and kept their back four occupied enough. Cantwell was superb - I just don't get people on here saying otherwise. Emi had a bit of an off day. Back four, McLean, Skipp and Vrancic all decent too. A solid win, with several gears to go up if necessary. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah....no..... Not sure I was talking about Hugill's playing. It was his antics at the end when he was rolling on the floor like a child. Overall Hugill put it a good shift and made the defenders work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vos 155 Posted January 16, 2021 11 minutes ago, It's Character Forming said: Really good win but after being in control we made it hard for ourselves in the end.  Good local commentary I thought, generally fair and plenty of insight and although some bias it wasn’t too bad. Commentator did appreciate our quality. Can't recall him saying much about all the Cardiff fouls. Stats said there were 26. Seemed more like 40 to me.

Sometimes it feels as though the players lack a sense of urgency, knowing they'll create more chances later in the game. If this is the case -of creating multiple chances- they need to work on the clinical finishing when presented the opportunity, because they won't be as forthcoming in the Prem.

Il Pirata 249 Posted January 16, 2021 Vrancic quality today, especially in the first half. Another example of us being better as a team when he plays. Really helping Cantwell out too, who was also excellent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
