I’d say it went wrong a long time before Dean sold the club, hard to blame Phil for last season, the trouble now is we’ve lost just about all the quality players we had and what’s left needs to be coached, there are gaps all over, every long ball seems to cause us a problem, the keeper keeps putting us under pressure! We can’t seem to make simple passes or retain any posetion, it’s hard to watch! it's the clown chairman's fault why we are in this position.. He thought we could challenge with out spending a penny of the 20 million we made out of selling 2 players.. . Because apparently we have goals all over the pitch according to big spotless Phil... Hes only been incharge about 50 days.... what the fuck are we going to be like in 100 days? Blue and white seats and fuck all else.... may as well start demonstrations now as that is how it's likely to end up. |

Controversial maybe but next game fuck some of these off I’d go with Grabara Flo. Schindler. Kongolo. Brown RVLP. Brown. Chalobah. Dhiakaby Campbell. Grant. Bring Koroma into the squad too. Players who had positive seasons last season. No fucking bellends who can’t be arsed Rvlp? Was fucking terrible... made mbenza look like ryan Giggs. I'd have Obrien in that team somewhere. Where ? He can't play wide |

Sums up some folk on here. Rant for VLP to play. Then he’s dogshit. Calls for Mounie to play and whining he’s getting sold, but he’s got a dogs abuse for months! And now Grant getting pelters. Do you not think he will be affected by the teams lack of confidence? He’s still a kid in football terms. - Now slating Hudson and Whitehead. Come on folks, the squad isn’t great, but let’s keep our heads here. It's still August, we await the new manager and the January window...😬 Nobody should be slating Grant. He's our only real goal threat but its plain to see that he needs a strike partner. I'd play 3-5-2 and ditch the shite wingers. Have Haderjonny on the right & J. Brown/? on the left. Campbell/Mounie up front alongside Grant. Slight problem with that. No Cash Phil is selling Mounié to Besiktas for 20 Benson and Hedges. |

After 4 games, I think we've already conceded more 80+ minute goals than in the whole of the 16/17 season.
That's the difference in both the players and coaching.

The last twelve months recruitment and appoint Kongoloments need serious examination. Who is responsible? Appalling . At this point a clear out is needed in the coaching staff. Get rid of em alll. Then let's look at the board. Dean why have you given the club to Phil. It's clear the financial skids have been applied. Why? Dean why? It's never an excuse for professional footballers on silly money to be as inept and utterly careless as these fuckers are. Jan cared, the board care unfortunately a lot of the squad don't give a fuck. |

You and a few others are missing a crucial point here - Deano approached Phil to take over. Ridiculous from all concerned. Only at Town could this happen. Agreed As Ive said before 1. How many parties were approached 2. How many put indicative bids in 3. How did Hoyle conclude that ignoring any interest and approaching his mate was the best deal for the club Don’t know the answer to any of those questions but I do remember at the time it was said there was serious interest from a number of overseas parties. Crazy situation. |

Sadly we are in such a rut something needs to change but we aren't able to until January.
This is the culmination of a series of poor and ill thought through decisions.
It's been a complete cock up and doesn't reflect well on anyone.
Officially worried tonight, and I never thought I would be saying that in August.

After 33+ years of doing nearly every home game I'm going out on the beers instead on Saturday. I can't see anywhere near enough ability in the squad to give us even a mid table finish. After 33yrs there's no-one on here would begrudge you that course of action. However, I think this board typifies the focused 90mins high octane, passion filled mania that comes with supporting your team. Tonight was a bad result, however positive you want to dress it up, we lost... Within 48h I'd expect/hope that time and common sense kicks in and we all go again. Of course it's disappointing just now, but I'm still confident that the tide will turn. We obviously need a win & probably 3 wins on the spin to breed that positivity back into everything HTFC. I still maintain that this is a mentality thing affecting the players, as opposed to a competence thing. UTT!!!, keep the faith, onwards & upwards... |

First full start. Mbenza has had many many opportunities and is still fucking wank. He was wank but he may need a couple of games to be sharp. Who do you put on the wing then instead of him? Enlighten us Kachunga.... always always always put the effort in and that is what we need at the moment. We need a win |

Grabara? Ffs the guy is the new Tim Clark. What you on about now lad? I like Grabara, but why do we persist with this stupid tactic of the keeper rolling the ball sideways inside the penalty area? For God's sake gerrit forrad! |

Correct, today is the first time it's been available. And all last season, at least 😉 That'll teach me to check the date in full. Started on the 21st August (todays date) 2018. Oops!  Anyway, having already got ifollow I looked at the sky option, but the quality looked awful and i stuck with what was a great blemish free stream from ifollow. |

Where to start?
Chalobah was excellent. Real shining light on a dark night. Looked to get it forward, won the ball time and again, wasn't bullied in the middle. Hogg, on the other hand, was so far off the pace. Losing every week has clearly got to him and many others.
What can't be excused is the basic errors time and again. What were we doing trying to play out from the back all the time? We lost it time after time and invited an incredible amount of pressure. There was no out ball, no running in behind, no attempt to stretch Cardiff's back line. It was, quite simply, brain dead. Experienced players should have realised that. We were trying what worked under Wagner, but with no confidence and no conviction. Everything was to feet with backs to goal.
We didn't utilise the wingers. Van la Parra wasn't great but at least he tried to drive forward. Mbenza was a passenger in one of the worst performances I'll ever see. It wasn't a player trying things and them not coming off - it was a player not trying. At one point Pritchard I think it was played a short ball to him. Mbenza had a five yard head start to the ball and still didn't get there. He shouldn't play for the club again, unless he's prepared to put it all on the line - the bare minimum needed right now.
The right side was non-existent. I've had it with Hadergjonaj bottling every single tackle. You're a full back. Play like one, man. When he hurdled a challenge he was first into in about the 88th minute I nearly put the remote through the telly. We're losing, you don't get a choice. Bust a gut, get there first, win the free-kick. You might have a bruise in the morning, but in these circumstances you have to put your body on the line to get something. Win the free-kick, pile forward, snatch an equaliser and it's worth it. But no, hurdle it, pointless throw in, backwards, sideways, backwards, chance gone. Diakhaby did more in 15 minutes than Mbenza, but we could have a dead parrot there and it would do more than Mbenza right now.
No, tonight was awful. I did think we'd see it out and get a point, but it's the hope that kills you. A point wouldn't have been deserved, but it'd be a confidence builder.

Kachunga.... always always always put the effort in and that is what we need at the moment. And is fucking shite Not having that.. more end product than any other winger, works harder and links up with the full back well. |

Shame McCarthy went back to ROI job, he'd kick some arses though the football would be dreary. Dreary?! No way any worse than watching keeper 10 yds to centre back then back to keeper then hoof! All in the misguided belief its playing from the back. At the risk of being knee jerk - its shit!! Spot on Shawsie. For anyone even contemplating Mark Hudson was the answer, the fact he didn't sort out the shambles when our keeper had the ball surely put that idea to bed. |

It's incredible to think that within two and a half weeks of the football league season starting up again, we're in such a position of mistrust. There is a fug amongst the Club that needs clearing. But I tend to agree; as they'd say in Alabama: "Ain't no money goin' nowhere". |

Just on coach outside stadium. Looking forward to the 5+ hour journey back up north. I can forgive most things but some things I can’t:
- being completely outfought by the other team. The least a fan should expect is that players put the effort in and go toe to toe with the opposition
- the persistence with playing out from the back from goal kicks. The amount of times we gave the ball away in dangerous areas and just invited pressure doing that was criminal. I could see that after 5 minutes tonight. Why can’t the coaches/players?
A draw would have been an absolute travesty. Had Cardiff taken 50% of their chances, we would have been hammered. I don’t have any answers but I’m not paid handsomely to have them, others are.
I fear that if things don’t change soon, it could get very ugly very quickly for big Phil.

Don’t worry town like to do everything differently to the normal ... most would call that the definition of insanity but not Town We’ll have our DOF who was doing so well that by age 48 he was working for a mid table side in the mighty Swedish league who will be aided by a uni graduate who has ever copy of football manager and fifa searching for the finest talent in women’s football and the German amateur leagues as we speak Then the new boss will be armed with a league one transfer kitty to sign the brightest semi pro prospects supplemented by an academy full of rejects from London clubs who get tinker seven nil more often than not From this platform a return the premier league is surely assured The difference Town made in appointing Wagner from the German lower divisions got us all to dreamland at Wembley, Manure, Chelski... etc. Nothing at all wrong with thinking outside the box, but at the moment we need a manager with a record of success in the second tier of English football. Wagner was a genius as was Webber (who was a more orthodox appointment from wolves) Now what is left is a shadow and they’re trying to be just as clever but haven’t a clue so the club is in complete free fall right now - hopefully this is the bottom but if the bad decisions continue with the next manager choice then we’ll be dropping again I suspect |
