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

[Triggaaar]

We do not have a right to three points at clubs that have Championship pedigree.

A right? I didn't say anything about a right to 3 points.

And anyone that thinks otherwise really do not understand the Championship or football in general.

Who said we had a right?

The literal meltdown from some bedwetters on this thread today made me have to check where we are in the league. But, please, you are your own person, feel free to carry on.

Carry on what, correcting you? If you think this is bedwetting, please highlight my offending post. That's right, you can't.

Of course it's not easy to get the 3 points, we were 6-4 against to do that, so chances were that we wouldn't get them. And a point is better than nothing. Where I disagree with you is that you would have settled for a point at the start. If such a hypothetical thing was possible, doing so (against all bottom half teams) would prevent us from finishing top 2.

I will take the point and move on, far from a disaster, shame about Bong escpecially before Rosenior is fit.

Will be tough on Pocognoli having not played all season, fingers crossed for him.

 

[Triggaaar]

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. (And if you want to use statistics, it's traditional to be a bit more precise than 'top few')

Top 3 or top 4.

Over the course of the season, we need to hope for more than a 1 point average away from home, so settling for a point against any but the very top teams is not smart.

 

[El Turi]

Roger East spotted an infringement on our goal yet somehow missed the blatant push by Hooper on Dunk in the play-offs. The lack of consistency is infuriating.

 

[Da Man Clay]

I didn't realise we had a right to win every game. Strange.

 

[Durlston]

I knew today would be tough. I'm just glad this game is out of the way but playing them again later in the month so soon won't be easy. Neil Warnock is such a good manager. He gets the best out of what he's got. I don't start many threads but a new striker (I suggested Louis Moult) is needed in January to keep the current ones on their toes. There's something missing up front away from home which could make the end of the season very nerve wracking.

 

[Gazwag]

I believe, excluding play off, we have lost once away since our 4-1 drubbing v Cardiff in January, and yet, still yet, people on here moan like buggery. You seriously could not make it up.

Most of whom are sitting in their front rooms

I was always happy to get a point. Nothing about lowering expectations, just being realistic. Likely to park it, and did. Better teams will play better football and so will we, as we saw in the Fulham game. (Well, the second half anyway).

Hughton is more cautious away from home, see Derby & Ipswich. Nothing wrong with that. We are five points clear of third place.

You really should have checked one or two other posts (or the fixture list) before replying to that!

Sorry I am wrong as I got my Tuesdays mixed up I thought that we had Blackburn away this Tuesday but it is not until Tuesday after the Leeds game

Best drop March from the bench as he's only had 2 minutes and best have no bench at all as they never get any game time.

 

[spence]

We were due a 0-0 so it's nice to get it out of the away especially away from home.

We had five 0-0 away from home last season. We are on 3 now

 

[Sussex Nomad]

23 x 3 = 69
23 x 1 = 23
Grand total = 92

And that would not equate to a promotion average?

Bless, I love the way you try to be controversial. No-one bites, you are all alone. Go watch pornhub, there's a good lad

its always the same at corners. Everyone is pushing and blocking and the ref has to have more eyes than a spider to spot this. Is this is a well earned point at Cardiff? I don't think so in the greater scheme of things but we didn't lose and if this point helps us to promotion at the end of the season then all is well.

 

[Triggaaar]

Oh dear.

What's up, have you realised you're wrong?

It is a fact that we won't get 69 points from home. We've already dropped points at home. So we need more than 23 points away from home. We're already doing better than a point a game away from home because, thankfully, we don't settle for 1 point away.

Shame it's Cardiff first clean sheet and we've only scored 8 goals away. Bet Rotherham will get a point against us as well but no doubt people will say great point well deserved.

Oh dear (again). You don't really understand, do you?

My God, you are so, so dull.
