So campbell dropped then..

Malky sticking with his more defensive set up I see

Any further thoughts on the line up?

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

good man medel 

[Arkay DubyaGlobal Superstar]

I'm finding this difficult to watch. The hype has got to me

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

odemwhengie looking a lot more effective than campbell was upfront by himself

[Arkay DubyaGlobal Superstar]

I want the final whistle already

[Arkay DubyaGlobal Superstar]

City nervous in possession and getting pushed backwards

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

there is no flow to our play at all - malky's style is not the most attractive. Perhaps a little out of his depth

[Tans TacheNational Legend]

Shelvey should be on a yellow

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

Im sorry - I just get what we are trying to achieve tactically. Our passing game is very poor. (As usual)

[RhysGlobal Superstar]

hoof football is no good really is it boys?

everyone on twitter is calling it boring and that Cardiff look happy to draw. Have to agree. 

Three shots on goal - none on target for us so far according to the beeb. 

I bet none of those were from within the box.

[Tyrion TannisterGlobal Superstar]

I'm not seeing hoof football - I'm seeing extended periods of some decent posession by us. There's been loads of critiscism of our ball retention and yet against one of the most posession based sides in the league we're 50:50 for extended periods.

The problem is a lack of attacking threat. Odemwingie holds the ball up well, but that's no good if nobody arrives to help him. We need proper wingers showing up in January.

Despite that, I'm happy. If we keep pressuring them as we are anything can happen.

A neutral friend of mine just texted me to ask why Cardiff are set up like an away team looking to get a point.
Nevertheless, I'd be happy with one!
