I think you're the one who needs to get a grip........

A game we dominated? Who are you trying to kid? I don't know the possession stats but I'd be certain that they would be much in favour of Cardiff. I agree there were periods when we played okay but for the last 25 mins of the first half and the majority of the second we never retained any possession. As soon as we got the ball it was a case of bypassing the midfield and chipping the ball up to Brown to flick on. Not surprisingly this particular tactic is flawed and means that Cardif ran midfield and in the end we got what was coming. Criticism of certain players is, I agree, harsh because of the tactics being employed. Brellier for example, seldom gets the ball played to his feet in an attacking situation and likewise with Brown and Cureton. I was at the game and I can't single out any particular player for criticism but what I can say is that the tactics stink and they're the very same tactics employed for all the games so far. And the reality of hoofing a ball up to a big bloke instead of playing through the middle and using the flanks is that you'll lose far more games than you win and unless this is changed we'll a best finish toward the bottom and at worst be in a relegation battle.
