The stats they do not lie. This was a whupping really.
Miserable lifeless performance by City in the first half - Blackpool were all over us - doing a Cardiff - pressing probing pushing - quicker to every ball - energy personified. If their strikers had had their kicking boots on, we would have been buried by HT.
Malky's hair-dryer tipped things Cardiff's way and after Kenny went close with a great curling shot we stole the lead with a very well-worked goal. Momentum swung briefly our way, before Blackpool took it up a level and aided by some calamitous, catastrophic defending, ran away with the three points.
Marshall's powder puff punch to present Kevin Phillips with the equaliser was in the finest tradition of Scottish goalkeeping (if that's not too offensive a national stereotype), and the entire defence went walkabout for the other two goals. McNaughton and Gerrard were poor today - midfield totally lacklustre, even the great Peter Whittingham had an off-day.
No doubt we have been spoilt of late, but the lack of a Plan B was a slight cause for concern - lumping long balls to the mohawked bonce of Rudy is not a sound tactic.
Onwards and upwards - 4 points from the next 2 games a must .
Malky Out!

We were pretty damn dreadful for most of the game yesterday.
Their manager must have worked out that our midfield was the key and just completely shut us down there. Whits was continually harried by two players and could never find any outlets as a result.
It was only when they tired from their high intensity play that we got into the game but by then we just didn't quite have enough time to claw it back.

Malky sort it out,
Malky Malky sort it out.
We've known all season that we've been performing better than everyone expected.
After our last two games we must be wondering have we run out of steam, the bubble burst etc. etc.
But not cause of the result I must stress, just cause we haven't looked like the same team we were before Christmas.
Or it could just be a dip before we make a last big charge over the finishing line as champions.
You never can tell.
It's been a damn fine first season for him all things considering.

Nice little three points against the posh... and one of those special cardiff comedy moments after Vuckic scores the third goal in seven minutes.

No, the media team at CCFC tweeted it, as did (head of ticketing, or whatever his title is) Julian Jenkins
