RobJames 922 Posted March 9 Aside from seeing these g0b****es fall on their arz, the reality is they are not as good as they bleat. McK has done a great job with a very average squad. None of whom look anywhere near PL quality. Playing to their limited strengths and good coaching has got them to where they are, but that can only take you so far. Both goals were through a packed defence. Where on earth was the defending for Cardiff's second ? After today, I would welcome this rag bag of hopefuls in the play off semis - it is now looking more likely, or to be honest, a possibility, that at the fag end of 2023 looked as likely as getting a sausage roll warmed up if you turned up early at CR today 😉 https://www.skysports.com/football/cardiff-city-vs-ipswich-town/485136 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobJames 922 Posted March 9 The binners have S'oton, Coventry and Hull in April, as well as us. Boro and Watford being the other two. They have won only one game in their seven against the other top six teams, and all the above are top half As said McK has been able to coach them to grind out results against the 'lesser' teams but when it comes to games against ex PL teams they have been found wanting, the quality is just not there. Which does not bide well if they find themselves in the playoffs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy 147 Posted March 9 My goodness, to knock a team that has been at the front of the queue for most of the season and could very well gain automatic promotion,I find this a sad post that does you no favours.Concentrate on your own team dont keep worrying about the others and for christ sake get off this stupid us versus them down the road bandwagon.Its really boring. We are currently doing ok and plodding along quite nicely but it has been a bumpy ride but I sure as hell wish we had had a season as stress free as Ipswitch. Sods law says that if we meet them in the playoffs that will be the day that our unbeaten run will end. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are flat track bullies. Ignore the nonsense above, surely we all want to be better than them? Now more than ever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
