Annis Abraham : My view of today plus major questions to be asked

” MY VIEW/OPINION OF TODAY/PLUS MAJOR QUESTIONS TO BE ASKED? ‘

” DIFFERENT COLOUR/BUT SAME OLD STORY ”

Cardiff City 0 Derby County 2
Crowd 22,287 incl approx 2,000 Derby fans

Cardiff City Team : Moore, Peltier, Malone, Morrison, Connolly, Whittingham, O’Keefe, Gunnarsson, Noone, Harris, Revell.
subs: Fabio, Manga, Jones, Macheda, Adeyemi, Ralls, Wilson.

First may I ask where were all the missing fans who said they would return if we were Blue again?
Real crowd today about 17,500 incl 2,000 Derby fans.

2nd may I ask Why not start with our Top scorer Kenwyne Jones and one of our best International players Manga?

3rd question,Can we really be relegated? Only 7pts from relegation and now only 2 wins from our last 11 games

4th question,Will You be renewing your season ticket?

5th question Should Russell Slade be Sacked?

This today was an improvement on possession and passing but the end product was not there,in front of goal?

Cardiff went in to this game after only winning 1 game from their last 9 games,whilst Derby had won 5 of their previous 6 games,so this was def going to be a tough game for the Bluebirds.

Both teams came out and it looked for the first 9 minutes that this was going to be an end to end game,but guess what as the game went on the more you could see that Cardiff were never going to even really get going.

In the 9th minute Cardiff keeper Moore made a penalty save which for me was dubious in the first place,but this should of inspired the Cardiff team,yet we just sat back and let Derby dictate the game.

In the 21st minute City were 1 nil down, looked like a deflection own goal by Malone?

City still sat back and it took us to the 32nd minute of the game to actually have a proper shot on goal by Revell.
Just before half time Derby made it 2 nil and the game was already won.

Second half Derby just cruised and City never really threatened them until Kenwyne Jones came on in the 62nd min and by the 63rd minute Jones had a header tipped over the Derby cross bar.

The game just seemed to drag on and on and the City fans were leaving in their hundreds by the 80th minute.

Derby without playing well,won this game 2-0 and never had to sweat.

DONT MAKE ANY MISTAKE,WE ARE IN A RELEGATION BATTLE.

My man of the match Stuart O’Keefe on his debut.

” DONT FORGET SEASON TICKETS ON SALE MONDAY MORNING ” But I just hope we are not paying Top prices for Division 3 football next season.

Next up,a tricky trip to Sheffield Wednesday.
