Cardiff City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

[SIMMO SAYS]

Leave the buffoon alone

He hasn't a clue what day it is.

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Most red cards ever in championship this weekend including 2 at newcastle

 

[Triggaaar]

Shit

Cardiff not kept a clean sheet in 18. Not good enough not to score if we have automatic ambitions. Missed a good chance to really put some daylight between us and 3rd

Understand the sentiment, especially given Cardiff's position, however it's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes and the important thing was not to lose. We kept a clean sheet which we've not managed in the last two home games. Those two home games have been tough, with quality opposition. The guys have gone behind twice and managed to snatch 4 points when it could have easily have been just one or even none. Today puts some extra space between us and third as well as keeping us close to Newcastle.

P.M.A.

Can't complain too much about that. Cardiff did a job on us under a canny manager, people seeming to think this was a guaranteed 3 points are idiots. On a positive note we still extended on the two teams directly below us. The worry is our performances have not been up to scratch recently and Leeds are a very good team so we need to improve if we are to get 3 points next Friday

 

[WhingForPresident]

Ah well, effectively 6 points clear of third on goal difference after Reading's pasting and one off Newcastle. Shame we couldn't capitalise but we've still gained ground.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Radio Sussex said Bong will miss Leeds why is that and not Blackburn Tuesday night

 

[Joshski]

Good result away from home, same result last year would have seeen us promoted...

 

[Triggaaar]

Would have taken the point from the start.

Against the team second from bottom! A point on average against such teams will not be enough for top 2.

 

[BHAFC_Pandapops]

He's fighting relegation. It's the only tactic he could employ.

He's fighting so hard his eyebrows have melted off.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Decreased the difference to Newcastle, Increased difference to 3rd. Good weekend, Not Great, but Good

Guess you're right. Poor Newcastle stand no chance then of promotion. Losing at home to Blackburn.

 

[Gazwag]

Not often you see a home team park the bus like that.

 

[Triggaaar]

Do a goal Brighton

We did.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Massive improvement on the same fixture last season!

Yes, a point gained, putting us 5 points clear of third place.

 

[sdmartin1]

Against the team second from bottom! A point on average against such teams will not be enough for top 2.

We will beat better teams who won't put 11 behind the ball at home, that's the way it goes

 

[WATFORD zero]

Against the team second from bottom! A point on average against such teams will not be enough for top 2.

Haven't checked the table, but i think you'll find it is

 

[Boy Blue]

Great point. Cardiff are ruthless at home and no doubt they might might climb above 2nd place from bottom.

 

[clippedgull]

Aspinall says a point gained rather than points lost. As he knows more than us that will do for me!

 

[BBassic]

Not the best result but gap is increased.

Cardiff fans are dire. I know we're quiet but the first time they got off their collective arses was when our goal was disallowed.
