We can't continue serving that crap up

I'll have those points!

Happy Sunday, everyone!

Massive!!

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:54 pm

Will I take the win? Yes.

Am I happy with what I've seen today? Not at all. We barely deserved a point today, never mind three. An abysmal performance with the good fortune that we took the two chances that we created.

My main concern is that this win will only paper over the cracks. Cardiff are going down, no question. They may go down with less than 20 points. With the exception of the Bournemouth game, we've not been performing and I'm concerned about the games going forward. We're the shadow of the team we were last season.

Nevertheless, a win is a win. I can only hope two league wins on the bounce will help us build some momentum.

As bad as we were, Cardiff fans must have already accepted relegation after that.

They’re gone - can they beat Derbys total?

Well done lads . Hard points .
And Brighton are below us .

How have we won that. Absolutely horrific performance. Cardiff fans should be very very worried.

SGr · Post by **SGr** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:54 pm

I’m in awe at how we won after that absolute sh*tshow. But in such a poor game, we won and Cardiff lost - that may say a lot about the fate of both sides this year.

biggest robbery I've ever seen, take the points gladly but they just paper over huge issues

Another 3 points, momentum is being built.

Good win regardless of the performance.

Two decent goals, absolute garbage play though, onwards and upwards....

Dogged display. Horrible to watch. Will take those 3 points all day long.

Yep. Big big improvements still needed - after Huddersfield next week the games get tough (seriously tough).

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

How in gods name did we win that? I have never in my time supporting us seen us win a game so one-sided against us. You can see why Cardiff will struggle though.

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

Now played all three promoted sides away from home - conceded 74 shots.

The stat of the decade.

Never mind, however undeserved, this time, 3 points.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

not pretty, but somehow pulled it off. 3 more very valuable points bagged.

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

Great 3 points, but I almost feel embarrassed.
We can't rely on that sort of luck every game. It wouldn't be so bad against a top club, but Cardiff were poor and still looked better than us.
The player ratings should be interesting.

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

Dont know how we won that but I'll take it. Defour and Brady back in ASAP to get some ball retention and flair.

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

If Cardiff can't even manage a draw against us they're surely down. We were rank bad, but somehow came away with the 3 points.

Christ what a waste of a couple of hours

joey13 · Post by **joey13** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:56 pm

3pts is everything

Absolute dross...very very fortunate.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:57 pm

huge win even if undeserved. Only Hart and JBG come out with any serious credit (thought Long did well considering he didn't start)

piston broke · Post by **piston broke** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 5:57 pm

Fantastic result from a shocking match.
They will never survive if all they have to offer is long throws.
We were back to last season. Every man gave his all and battled for each other.
The performances will improve as the confidence returns.
COYC.

Well done lads for grinding out a win. You were shite but, hey ho!

Or we are slowly getting over the early season disruption and injuries . Every win will improve confidence I'm used to us holding ond nicking a win. It's how we play . The low block is a tough tactic and we play it well. It looks like we are being outplayed but we are not really .

Not aimed at you.... but you only have to go through the posts of many on here. We set up to play a certain way and have done for a long time. We won!

Aaron Lennon leaping salmon header in our box will get him an extra point from me bloody great effort.

After Fulham nailed us dyche said that was the sort of football he wants us to play. We are a million miles away.

Goodnight one and all. In shock how we got 3 points there BUT WE DID!!! Dire at times but that hopefully will be rectified. Enjoy your Sunday night everyone.

Todays performance was no improvement on the Wolves debicle. We don't seem capable of stringing more than a couple of passes together, the lads aren't closing down like they did last season.
We are in for some right drubbings due to the fact we can't keep possession

4:20 · Post by **4:20** » Sun Sep 30, 2018 6:01 pm

1st Away win, 2 on the trot, 1st promoted team win for SD, first win in Wales this decade, up to 12th, 3 points behind Man U, still awaiting Defour and Brady's return, playing crap and winning, Vokes with a recently rare PL goal, JBG scored with his head lol, Joe Hart had a cracker.

It was pretty dire, but it's 3 points.

Roll on the Field of Hudders

I'm not convinced by the Europa League being such a disruption/distraction. However, I can't claim to be in-the-know with that sort of thing. I'm pleased we've managed to get the win despite performing so poorly but it doesn't fill me with confidence for the season. Our tactics were all wrong today and we were lucky Cardiff only scored 1 and that we managed to take our 2 chances.
