Cardiff City vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***
- Thread starter Dick Head
- Start date
Not a great performance but always difficult to break down an 11 man defence that seemed set up for 0-0 from the off
Cardiff fans genuinely rubbish
Point gained on Newcastle and Reading
Unbeaten in 13 and another clean sheet
Onwards and upwards

I get your point but that's their lookout. Their failings will come back and hopefully haunt them at the end of the season as it did us last season.

I thought before the last 3 games that 5 points will be fine and we have maintained the gap below us and gained a point above, so 5 points over the next 3 games will still see us in 2nd even if Reading beat Shef W, Leeds and Blackburn which I doubt.
Being unbeaten and solid at the back is the priority then it's down to the supply and taking our chances which we did create today.

Pity others wont. Well I know of at least 1 plumber that wont.
I love you.
The gap that matters is the one between 2nd and 3rd. So definitely a point gained today unless people are seriously concerned about taking the title. Promotion will do me.. 1st or 2nd, don't care. And, historically, the team that finishes 2nd has been more successful in the Premier League anyway.
Well, we had much more creativity and urgency after Knocky came on. There was none before he came on. He looked pretty much back to his best for his 20 minutes, but then again he wasn't marked by two players as he has been for his previous two games. We looked like the only team who could score.
Dunk's yellow was indeed for hitting the ball away, but that doesn't cover why he did it, or where he hit it. A Baadiff fan held the ball after it went out for a throw in and eyed Dunk for 3 or 4 seconds before returning it. I don't want to say much more as I don't know if there can be retrospective action by the FL for any incidents involving fans, but you can guess where the ball that Dunk hit away (with his hand, not feet) ended up. There were afters at FT. 6 Baadiff fans lined up against the pitch side and baited Dunk. He bit (verbally) and digital gestures (single digit variety) were made.
Bong had another poor game, and his second yellow was stupid - he slid in from as far away as Bath. Stupid. It may be no bad thing that he doesn't play next game.
We need March and Kayal match fit ASAP. If (heaven forbid) Knocky gets a bad injury, today proved that there's no creativity elsewhere.
On the upside, we gained a point on Newcastle and are now 5 ahead of third. On he downside, Baadiff had conceded in each of their last 11 games. On balance, given the results around us, I'll take it. If our nearest competitors had had better results, I would probably be less generous.
We need to watch out for Dirty Leeds...

We've been poor for the last three games now, we are certainly out of form. Impressive that we've managed 5 points in that time, but we need to get our act together again asap.
Well done the large travelling crowd today, pretty much non-stop support despite there being literally nothing to get excited about.

2 points dropped today for me. Cardiff were a very poor side and were there for the taking. A bit better in the 2nd half but altogether too pedestrian.
We dropped 2 pints today. Warlock sets his teams up, always, to be in the oppositions faces, winding them up. We always seem to fall for it. We are in a form trough which is a pity because the next 3 games looked winnable 3 weeks ago. We are missing Kayal.

I was unable to come up with my Albion MOM
Bruno. Very solid defensively, some Spanish flair when needed and gave Skalak plenty of support by overlapping regularly.

We pretty much filled up the corner, I reckon 1500/1600?

Derby haven't played an in-form side since McClaren took over and in that period have lost to fading Huddersfield.

C'mon the Albion!
And currently our goal difference, being +17, is almost like having an extra point, as the teams belows goal difference is 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, -3 respectively

I thought Murphy looked our most dangerous player, he made a couple of good direct runs with the ball.
