Regime Change 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Unfortunately that it a pretty accurate description of the clubs season to date. The majority of the squad is not good enought to compete at this level, and. some players clearly no longer care as they probably know they are not going to be around next season.Grant''s biggested challenge will be trying to get rid of the clubs garbage (i.e. Drury, Shackell, Doherty, Thorne, Safri, Etuhu, Hughes, McVeigh, Gallacher, Henderson) during the summer.

[/quote]You would think, wouldn`t you , that those players that know they`ll be out on their ears this summer , would , at least , make some effort before they go ? if only to enhance their chances of being employed next season ...... if only in the conference [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jetstream 0 Posted March 13, 2007 Sorry mbncfc, take it from someone who was there on Saturday - we were very, very poor.Cardiff were not great - surely that makes it all the more annoying that we didn''t take advantage? If we''d played like we did in the first half against Derby we may well have got something out of the game. Instead, we conceded an early goal thanks to a poor clearance and defensive chaos as much as a deflection (which makes it sound like it was an unlucky break).Don''t kid yourself, we were pants![:(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paul moy 235 Posted March 13, 2007 I was also there on Saturday and thought that our second half performance deserved a draw and could have got a win with a bit more luck, as we were definitely the better team in that half, but started slowly in the first. Cardiff were very poor quality(no way will they go up!!) and were obviously worried, as they were blatantly timewasting in the last 15 minutes by running the ball into the corners. I was pleased with Etuhu who I thought had a reasonable game and put in some good tackles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] How can you include Shackell, Drury and Safri as the gabage, they all very good players, who without we would be bottom 3.Etuhu needs the love of the fans and the acceptence that a bad mistake will net get everyone on his back Fact we have seen in glimpses of his obvious qualities, and some love to this player could potentially make such an impact on his peformances and the teams.Etuhu + Fans unconditional love + world class Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Citizen Journalist Foghorn 0 Posted March 13, 2007 "Cardiff were very poor quality(no way will they go up!!) and were obviously worried, as they were blatantly timewasting in the last 15 minutes by running the ball into the corners. " I disagree, Remember when we stuck away a last minute Paul McVeigh goal at Bradford in our play-off season, our first shot of the game. To get to the play offs requires that you have a couple of decent runs in the season, Cardiff managed this at the start of the year and are battling for those places now.. In the play offs themselves anyone can go up depending on who is on form at the time. As for city, defensively we are a total shambles, have been for almost 3 seasons now.

[/quote]You are so right CJF. We were cr@p that day, probably worse than at Cardiff on Saturday. But we sneaked that result and that was when we really started to believe. It was a great atmosphere walking out of that ground. At this stage in the season it''s all on results for the playoff contenders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
