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

[RandyWanger]

Come on Brighton!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Except the goals he provides...

I can't believe we're having this debate. Goals win matches, you can beat players all day (Noone, CMS, Buckley, KLL and on and on) but if you do nothing with that then it's pointless. We have lots of players who can do the tackling, the taking people on, the heading. Skalak's role is to provide crosses for forwards and he is one of the best in the league at that.

Perfectly put, although some people will NEVER understand that.

 

[Boroseagull]

Can't believe the wind up merchants on here slating our players.

and before the game kicked off!

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Norwich and Huddersfield winning.

 

[brakespear]

Huddersfield winning.

 

[Boy Blue]

I think that comes under the umbrella of match fitness - which in the Championship means real shit - easing the good guys in after a long lay is good policy.

How is he suppose to get match fit when he doesn't play?

 

[GT49er]

Yeah, I think that's a bit of a fallacy or you're fishing.

35 in 70 appearances.

This may dispel the 'home only' thought.

Edit: That wasn't actually Brighton stats, my bad. But he did score away goals for us, I'll try and find a link.

Can only find details of one season from Vinnicombe's book. Scored 22 at home, 5 away. I'll rest my case.

I dunno - 2mins - 20mins - a half - boom back in the game.

 

[brakespear]

Wednesday winning.

By building the minutes up. You don't just throw people who have been out a year into starting.

Slagging off Skalak while playing a squad containing Noone - priceless.

The very epitome of headless chicken, and yet given the choice CN would probably be preferred.

But to be fair, Jiří does a shit Peter Andre impression

March won't be 'back in the game' until he has a full pre-season under his belt, anyone expecting more than that is delusional.

Were the team able to get more than that, it would be a brilliant bonus, nothing more.

Some people on here LOVED Paddy McCourt, despite him providing **** all and being complete SHITE.

It's laughable that someone would say skalak doesn't provide anything, that's literally ALL HE DOES.

 

[BensGrandad]

People suggesting Skalak, Murphy and Murray as possible goal scorers. I hope so for all 3 as that would virtually ensure 3 points.

 

[The Tactician]

Looking like Norwich's losing run is going to come to an end, 2-0

But but he not fast enough.

If he was quicker he wouldn't be playing second division football.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Fulham 1 Reading 0.

 

[HCxUK]

Reading losing!

 

[Uncle C]

March must wonder what he has to do to start. coming on with 2 minutes left isn't going to convince Hughton. Maybe if we're 5 down then blame March.

Get match fit.
