First topic message reminder :

What do we all think after Tuesday?

I think the same starting eleven and I can't see many goals from either side.........0 - 0, attendance 25,548.

WTF No Malky fistipump at the end... do you think he's pissed off with the fans... made a big deal about the fan's loyalty before the game but then didn't celebrate with them

Saving for a double fist pump on tuesday!

Clearly written before the end of the match so potentially slightly wrong, but what we've seen today is a masterclass. Cardiff have been inpenetrable at the back, unstoppable in midfield and ruthless in attack. Only the post, some slightly shaky refereeing and sheer bad luck has stopped it being 5, 6 or 7 goals to nil.

I've been a critic, but whatever Malky has done has worked spectacularly well. They are a different side to the one that has caused so much critiscism. The side has been as impressive as a lump of coal in the past, but today they're gold dust.

Quick addition, Helguson's face is priceless on the sidelines. Theres only one Cardiff fan in the stadium that hates Gestede right now, and that's Helguson.

I agree with all of that apart from the reference to Helguson. He showed today that he is good for 45 minutes......then over to Rudy!

I should clarify, i wasnt critiscising Helguson with that last paragraph, he did nothing wrong today. I was simply commenting on him sat on the bench in his pink slippers with his arms crossed and a 'f**k my life' expression after Gestede's second goal

I'm very concerned.
Somebody obviously hacked into my account earlier and made it look as if I was criticising Helguson's inclusion.

Amazing performance. Kim is absolutely fantastic. Whitts might as well get a nice cushion, he'll be on the bench for a while. We've looked so much better without him in the team. Kimbo's come in and to be honest, he's made Malky look like a fool for not bringing him in sooner. We could've had the title wrapped up by now if he'd been playing.

Rudy looked amazing when he came on. Just needs a bit of consistency and he'll be our first choice striker.

I saw Kev getting a bit of stick earlier, but I thought he did well today. It can't be easy losing your place in the team, and knowing that you're only playing because people are injured. But he's come in and looked solid enough, and supported the attacks well.

Turner and Barnett at the back are immense. Absolutely rock solid.

Everyone was working hard, putting tackles in, closing people down. They all look hungry for it. We've got a bit of a reputation as bottlers over the last few seasons, but not this lot. They want it, and they're not going to let anyone take it away from them.

The best thing about being a pessimist is that when we win, I'm twice as happy! What a day, what a result. What can I say that hasn't already been said. We were superb. Kimbo (or legs akimbo as I now like to call him) is a class above.

can i join you

Disappointed with Forest considering they were unbeaten in 10 games.
Caved-in after the sending off and the last 30 mins was like a training match.
City need to be equally positive on Tuesday.

Will Whittingham ever get back in now?

[KateVice Captain]

On current performance levels, No. they have been like a breath of fresh air in midfield.

What a game. What an atmosphere. Bring on Tuesday.

I said much the same a little higher up in the thread, but, as Arkay pointed out, City made them look ordinary.......

I am pretty sure that Whittingham has a big part to play in the future of the club. The "That Midfield" thread is worth a browse......
