Cardiff City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

[Mazrim]

Some of those saves you wouldn't see in a movie. In the end, unlucky and much more encouraging in the second half. But still too many dopey moments when a sharper skill set would easily have settled it. Cardiff are fucking shite, and we've matched them. Awesome.

We should have won that second half. Gabby's miss was criminal. Weimann should have put that late chance in as well, good a save as it was.

Did enough to piss it in 2nd half but you have to put the opposition into context.  Gabby wtf?!

[saunders_heroes]

Should have won the game second half. At least we didn't lose.

[Matt Collins]

Do people agree Westwood was very good second half. He never gets the credit when he plays well

He was poor first half but that's because the team was set up to be as unhelpful to him ad Delph as possible

1 point from West Ham at home and Cardiff away is a terrible return.

That was a chastening experience.  The skill level on display was pitifully low.  Could have nicked it at the death but for a world class save but in the first half alone Cardiff hit the woodwork twice, had a pen shout turned down and had a goal knocked off for offside.

We improved in the second half but once again we only turned up for less than half a match so we can't have any complaints about not winning it.

Seemed to me Villa were so dominant second half that they were actively trying to score a perfect looking goal instead of winning the sodding game.

Should have won, why didn't Gabby hit it first time?

Cardiff were spent by half time, 2 points lost.

We really need Gabby / Benteke to hit a good run to pull us away. Cardiff won't stay up.

I think this must be the worst villa team since records began.

Surely the team that got relegated from the second into third?

When he plays well the team plays well. In the first half he got no help from the team, in the second half they apparently tried a bit and, bo and lehold, Westwood gets better.

Agreed.

[Chinchilla Bathhouse]

I only saw from 60 minutes.

Abysmal really looking how unthreatening Cardiff were.

Complete nonsense.

Oh and I've love Ben Turner as competition for Vlaar and Okore, he was exceptional and his positioning was brilliant.

1 point from West Ham at home and Cardiff away is a terrible return.

And yet we're still 11th, 5 points clear of relegation, with only 12 to play.
