Cardiff V Derby County

[one_chop]

A bore fest. Again

[A Ram for All Seasons]

Russell best player so far, and he hasn't been giving the ball away

Russell our best player.  By far by the sound of it!

Wouldn't say he's been our best player (not a JR knocker), more that only he and Lawrence have been much of a threat. Comfortable at the moment.

Does sound like derby are doing okay sounds like russle playing well but sound like hurt his hip.

[The Scarlet Pimpernel]

I've got a moan...............Would be nice to hear a bit less of Rammage and a bit more commentary on the movement of the game. Massive chunks of the game go by with the listener having no idea where the ball is.

Nothing to moan about yet, what a shame.

56% possession and no shots.

Gary just needs to reduce the possession down 2nd half....we need to then steal the ball and score then Hey Presto! park the bus. Can we take three points and get possession down to single figures. #gegenpressebollox

[angieram]

Martin ready and warming up.

[B4ev6is]

I think ramage does a good job and shows passion for derby.

[Alph]

Highlights:

Russell, Winnall, Wisdom and Ledley

Cardiff players in disguise:

Lawrence, Johnson, Forsyth

Meh: The rest.

Basically there's 4 or 5 players doing a pretty neat job but it breaks down when the rest get involved.

Huddlestone is Huddlestone. Great on the ball. Completely useless off it.

Russell and Winnall are doing everything they can here. Battling off the ball and are wide awake in possession. Takes ages to get support to them

 

[Ninos]

I'd agree with bringing Martin on for a little composure up top, cuz Winnall ain't keeping the ball. Good move GR.

Do you think Lawrence has been a threat? I think Winnall has done far more and Lawrence has been passed by.

Our best player... Wisdom perhaps? Ledley looks good when involved. 

Thing is our midfield is so slow and heavy they only play in a 10m area of the pitch

[Ninos]

The way manga bullied Winnall off the ball was a bit embarrassing tbf especially when Winnall had better position.  That's the difference between the teams ... Bamba Mendez manga especially are just stronger physically so they knock us while we whine for a free kick. We need to adjust to that.

[Gritstone Ram]

I'm quite pleased we haven't scored too early.  Last few away games we seem to have peaked too early so Rowett must have geared us up to score later in the game.

[Alph]

He's having to battle on his own though and feed off Russell. Nobody else is with him. 

Make Cardiff defend their box and they'll be a bit less inclined to get stuck in

They're defending their center circle here. They've nothing to fear except Russell's dribbling from the halfway line

Lawrence hasn't been a threat particularly, but he has shown intent.

[cosmic]

Martin gets the ball at halfway, threads a great ball into space for Lawrence to run into. Lawrence gets the ball on the right of the box, does well to get a cross in. Huddlestone strikes. 

Nice play. More of that, please. 

God, we’ve missed Martin. He’s doing everything right. 

[wixman1884]

Martin's been one of our better midfielders since he's come on 

[B4ev6is]

Come on lads

[Sith Happens]

Sounds a good game now.
