Cardiff City v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 17.12.22

The players are shit so probably wouldn’t make a difference but we are so disorganised and passive. We are an embarrassment to the Championship.

40 - At some point Blackpool are going to have to apply for some pressure on Cardiff's players. They allow another cross to be delivered into the box for Etete to head straight at Grimshaw (1-0)
 
We can't get to January with this clown at the wheel with a few quid to spend. The problem lies with his motivational skills and the fact he cannot get players playing for him or the shirt. Get rid ASAP.
 
First time I’ve seen Appleton do anything on the touchline, must be fuming to stop him looking like he’s waiting for a bus that’s running late
 
How could we have been so good only 5/6 games ago thinking... Watford, sheff United, Preston, Coventry.... We are completely lost... Playing without a midfield...

Should just go long to madine with someone closer to him 2nd half...get a foot hold in the game... Need to change something.
 
Absolute rubbish. Not a shot on goal again , These players do not want to fight for Appleton it quiet clearly shows. Get rid whilst we still have time.

HT: Cardiff 1-0 Blackpool Seasiders have been desperately poor - they're lucky to still be in it. Wide open in midfield, no pressure applied at all. On the rare occasion they do have the ball they’re giving it away so cheaply. Worrying
 
These players look like they are playing for a new manager. They are just going through the motions, Appleton has lost the changing room by the looks of it. Terrible we would struggle in League One with performances like that 🤬
 
What's happening to us is a lesson for any manager wanting to be successful - if you continually do your own club and team down with the comments you make and the mentality you have, eventually it'll filter through and you'll get the performances befitting of a team and club you've drained the confidence and belief out of.
 
So can the Appleton in mob please give me one positive from this performance? Wide open at the back, toothless upfront and clueless in the middle. He has to be sacked, preferably at half time. Useless!
 
Not saying Cardiff are great, but .... that clip of their bench with Hudson and his coaches crowded around an iPad, looking and debating tactics and formats. At least they're on it and trying to work something out. Wonder what our bench are up to??
 
Can I be a negative Nigel? It looks like Appleton has managed to squeeze the enthusiasm out of his players much like he is doing with our fan base. Forget injuries whoever plays should look like they want to and at least show the appetite and hunger to put in a shift. If we could at least see that it would be more acceptable than this turgid drivel.
