Well done that man (above), who took the liberty of hand crafting this sign for the Bolton game on Monday. Never have I seen a cardboard sign applauded with such gusto!
The said sign may have been momentarily confiscated, and it may have caused several members of CCFC security staff to have a hissy fit but the message is there and it’s gathering pace. Finally uninspired fans are waking up.
Even the patient non-confrontational element of the Cardiff support have had enough of Russell Slade now & share in the feeling that to move forward as a club he needs to be removed.
He needs to pack up his things, get in the car and take his 1980s tactics with him out of Wales. Fans don’t care how well-mannered he is, he’s just not good enough for this club, this league and this situation we find ourselves in.
The club's board of Vincent Tan's office admin team were there Saturday to witness events and hopefully would have had their heads turned.
Monday's 0-3 defeat to a hores**t Bolton team was the latest in a cringeworthy chapter of another embarrassing season.
Things have got pretty dark.
Things have got pretty dark.
Saturday’s trip to Reading (above) may have been fun but this was nothing to do with the quality of football served up from Cardiff and a late Conor McAleny goal papered over the disturbing cracks of what was a grim performance.
The fun was more to do with drinking five strong flat white coffees pre-kick off and a sing song in a frustrated away end. No pride or entertainment was offered on the pitch.
With the Bluebirds barley reaching the Reading box or keeping ball for more than three passes it was down to the travelling support to create some excitement and the fans didn’t disappoint. Slade and the team were not worthy of such support and we let Russell know at full time when he came over to clap the stand City fans gathered in behind the goal.
He (below) clapped but I’d estimate at least 1,000 people made rude hand gestures in response.
Much has been made of City’s current away form in the last
six games and results have improved but the style of play and performance is humiliating.
Approx 50% of excitement on the day in Reading centered on the return of Joe Mason (above), the youngster previously farmed out on loan by previous managers. Whilst it’s good to see Joe back, it’s going to take time for him to do what City fans want. Can he solve the current mess? No. Neither is he Lionel Messi.
We drove home talking about things other than football... and then Monday happened...
After a promising first half (by Slade’s standards), the Bluebirds capitulated after the break rolling over for a tummy tickle from a bunch of Bolton veterans. Allowing the likes of Emile Heskey (yes, that Heskey – age 37) and Eidur Guðjohnsen (age 36) to run rings around our defence is a new low.
With the lack of direction, calamity is always lurking for Slade’s men at the moment no matter how steady things appear and the back four are looser than some of the girls I went to school with.
What is going through the minds of the current Manager, the players, board and owner is a complete and utter mystery. Attitude comes from leadership though and at the moment the attitude on the pitch and in the stands is f**ked because there isn't any leadership anywhere.
With season ticket renewal figures the lowest ever, things could even get worse next season. The club need to man up and do something positive, starting with a new Management crew and announcing to the fans a master plan of some kind.
Over to you lads. Do some thing. Any thing.
