The 'back from Cardiff' thread

[Bozza]

An outstanding performance? No, not really.

But seasons do change direction after games like that. The weak, frail Albion team that has frustrated us this year was nowhere to be seen. There was a gritty determination to not concede and to bring 3 points home, and they did the job.

It's a platform on which to build a playoff charge, but the result will be wasted if we don't make the most of the upcoming matches.

Tonight was what football supporting is all about - absolutely magic. Let's kick on from here.

Lucky for once with your shortish journey!

9 points from Burnley, Huddersfield and Bristol City, would be an amazing points boost, as the games get mainly tougher after that.

How many did we take? Does anyone have a video of the goals?

 

[clapham_gull]

Just a shame our goalkeeper is so rubbish.

Worse even than Graeme Smith!

Is Kuipers still registered ?

 

[Rogero]

Just back, I thought he had a pretty good game.

Just seen the goals on SSN.

Orlandi fox in the box. A yard out.

Second huge reflection. Stuck from the penalty spot, hit a defender on the ground and spun into the net over the goalkeeper.

I sat in the main Cardiff stand for the match tonight and have just got back to Winchester. Can I just congratulate every single one of our supporters who sang their hearts out and were an absolute credit to the Albion tonight! All the Cardiff fans in our corporate area commented on how well turned out our travelling support was for a Tuesday night and at times the noise coming out of the away end was immense! Absolutely brilliant, well done!

Good to hear that we made ourselves heard! Couldn't believe how quiet the home fans were. Whenever we piped down for a few minutes you could hear a pin drop!

Classic smash and grab win, so nice to do it ourselves for a change. Kuszczak was motm, Bridcutt, Upson, Dave, Ulloa, Orlandi and Bridge very solid. Hammond, Buckley and El-Abd were a bit meh, and Bruno had a shocker. I was right next to the excellent and very vocal away end, who played a big part in the win. Nice to see the CC fans embracing the new red scarf and shirts, I'd say 95% were wearing them

Anyone moaning about our transport arrangements should try the Cardiff stadium car park.........gridlocked for an hour........although it did give me ample opportunity to talk my CC supporting companions through the match

Huge win, is second place really out of reach I wonder!

 

[Kosmonaut]

On the stream I heard "we forgot that you were here!" being sung very loudly, I assumed it was the Cardiff fans but judging from some of the comments I now suspect it may have been our own fans, if so - hilarious!

 

[Arkwright]

Just back, a gritty performance great to see the lads roll the sleeves up and battle.

Tired and emotional, I'm off to bed to open the shop at 7am, Happy Days and sweet dreams.

Yes it was us!!! 24k people in stadium and NIL atmosphere... I found it a bit spooky!

 

[TottonSeagull]

Just got back, thought we won ugly tonite, soaked up a load of pressure and hit them on the counter. Never been to ground where the home fans are so quiet, maybe they were gagged by their free scarfs? PIG was immense, only downside was Bridders being booked.

Still drinking in the bar of our hotel in Cardiff bay. Great win and now enjoying a lubricating drink attempting to gain my voice back.
