[Archived] Cardiff City v. Blackburn Rovers, preview

[Mercer]

Barnsley 1 up already !

[Ossydave]

unlike you chaddy the eternal, deluded optimist!

Get off his back for christs sake, this board is in desperate need of optimism

[moerpho]

Cardiff almost score again from a corner...really should have scored

[ABBEY]

Anyone else feeling optimistic?

have not felt optimistic for two years ,since the day the fat pony tailed lowlife strutted on ewood.

[2k.]

Anyone else feeling optimistic?

Not in the slightest

[Mike Graham]

Presently 3 points above next to bottom!!

[Clitherover]

I'll be surprised if we don't get thumped today.

Abbey, sir Alex Ferguson had his top scorer on the bench today. He's on about 150k a week. What's the difference??

And I thought you weren't coming back on here?

[moerpho]

This is just painful to watch....Cardiff just pressing high up on the field, our players seem scared, ends up with a backpass to Kean who just lumps it up field and out of play. We seem totally devoid of ideas and it's been all Cardiff so far.....

[Majiball]

Commentators have just said it looks like we're trying to beat ourselves with the number of mistakes we've made so far.

Footballers could easily play 2 matches in 4 days even at this stage of the season if they did things properly, but they don't. In the grand scheme of things footballers are not fit, they're not that strong either.

I think all footballers could play 180 minutes a week but point perhaps being made is that they would not be at their optimum level if they did that consistently for months on end without a break-which is what Rhodes has been doing. It's not like he has missed many matches, this is the first time he has been rested?

[Mike Graham]

What are the odds on us getting into the Cardiff penalty area?

Errrr..............strange point to make, they lost 1-0 last time I looked!

Didn't work so well did it?

Without Jordan Rhodes in the team all our problems should now be solved... apparently.

And how many times have you wrestled for Great Britain?!

and its got exactly what to do with you wether i post or not?

you ignore me and i will ignore your "not worth the oxygen " convo.

The difference is nothing by the way ...worked out well for fergie didnt it.

haha just posted same...

[moerpho]

Kean down with injury after another great Cardiff attack....think perhaps it was Murphy that crashed into him. Don't think Murphy has touched the ball yet to be honest. Seems to do his best to avoid being where the ball is and right before the Cardiff chance we had a chance to break but got ruined by our beautiful Danny Murphy.....

[T4E]

Wolves winning

[Ricky]

Rev, I guess I was trying to make a point, badly lol. The point I was making was that managers do rest players during busy times. It doesn't matter if its the top scorer and what money they are on, if they are tired they need resting. He's had a busy international break with Scotland and then back to back games.

[redroses]

Wolves winning

[RevidgeBlue]

1-0 to Wolves just to add to the general air of nervousness.

[Ricky]

Just stating that you spat your dummy last time and said you wouldn't be back. That's all.

Unfortunately I'm not allowed to put you on ignore.

[moerpho]

On resting Rhodes...we might as well have played him as he would be rested on the field. Match so far: Cardiff playing football, when they lose the ball they apply a bit of pressure, Rovers get nervous and keep passing back until it reaches Kean who just lumps it up towards either Best or Kazim who is surrounded by at least two defenders thus the ball goes right back to Cardiff.....repeat ad nauseum...just waiting for a Cardiff goal

[cn174]

[imy9]

id play every day for what he earns in one week.
