Bottom of the League - Hard Cheese - Its only September not May

This is awful and I don’t give a flying f**k. I don’t care if we played well, good football or we should have got something out of the game, WE LOST. We hit the post a few times … that’s not a goal. We are bottom of the league!!!! Ok its a long way until May but still we are today bottom of the Championship

Blame the ref! It was not a penalty. I don’t care the ref pointed to the spot end of the story. Conspiracy theories will abound but in the end he was English and we no English refs hate us. Players must learn to stop manhandling players in the penalty box the excuse it happens all the time doesn’t matter if the ref blows up for a penalty. Simple answer keep your hands down use your body.

No matter how shit the club is now, they are my team and always will be but that doesn’t mean I can’t have an opinion. I am married to the club and we have well over 40 years together the day I became a Bluebird, is tattooed (not really) on my heart.

What did have Head Coach Trollope have to say after the game? (Sourced from Wales online website)

“The results are nowhere near acceptable, that's my responsibility, I know that. It's my responsibility to shape it and mould it and get the best out of people. I'm totally aware of that, but I also believe in how we work, that this will turn.
“I thought we were in pretty good control, we needed one of the chances to go in and they didn't.
"Probably the refereeing decision changed the game, which was frustrating for us because there was a lot going on at set-pieces at both ends, there was a warning before, listen I'm not saying it wasn't a penalty but if he's giving it then he could be giving a few at either end.
“That changed the game and meant we had to chase it in a different manner, we left ourselves open a wee bit. We had to be very, very brave and put a lot of players at the top of the pitch, the lad's pulled it out of nowhere to make it 2-0.
“If our player stepped over the mark today then it's a penalty, but if you analyse really carefully at both ends of the pitch, I've seen our players having shirts pulled off their back that went unpunished.
"If they're going to start giving these, they're going to have to give a lot each game.”
He when on to say: “We're always looking at ways to improve, a lot of our approach play especially in the first 60 minutes was good, we got ourselves into some good areas and when we arrived there then we're relying on that little bit of quality, that little bit of spark to produce that dribble or that through ball, but I thought we played in a nice balance.
"Really frustrating, there was real determination, hopefully everyone could see that. To put right Tuesday night's performance which wasn't anywhere near the level we expect, to come away with another defeat is hugely frustrating.
“You have to win football matches, there's always that need at any level. The fans were terrific, there was a really good atmosphere in the ground, I thought they appreciated the way we tried to approach the game. That was good.
“It's football, you have good spells, you have bad spells. We're hitting the post with good chances, we're not quite finding finishes, maybe lacking a bit of anticipation when things are coming across the box, we've got to keep working hard.
“I've received good support from the owner, chairman and CEO. They know what we're trying to build and create.
"Of course there's a need for short term results, we don't want to be in the league position we're in because it hurts.
"Patience is key, especially in the modern game, because everyone wants short-term results, I certainly do, it hurts me that we're not getting them.”
Something needs to be done today and I mean get someone new … A NEW MANAGER … I think I made myself clear, crystal clear. This bunch of players are not playing for the manager nor the fans so it is time to throw a stick of dynamite into the dressing room. Whom I don’t know but one name will be up there somewhere, Craig Bellamy but I don’t think Tan would be willing to save face so soon after hiring Paul Trollope.

This can be laid at the door of Tan who I believe picked out present manager Paul Trollope because he was cheap and had a toe in the door due to the association with former manager Russell Slade.

Tan we were told handpicked Trollope as a replacement for Slade, which proves a major point he as little knowledge of football. If Trollope is still in charge next Saturday he will get a chance to plan the defeat of fellow bottom feeders Rotherham only a few places above Cardiff. The following Tuesday Derby are the visitors the Cardiff City Stadium who are also scratching about at the wrong end of the league table, six points would be nice.
