Bridcutts first goal for 7 years!

Sometimes you can be a real arse Pope. Would you like me to point out every time something happens that appears to contradict what you have seen?
Bridcutt did well, but his goal record speaks for itself. It's not normally his game, and whether he is being pushed forward today or not, he is by trade a defensive midfielder and that's what he does best. HENCE, we are playing with three sitters.

I had just finished making the point to you that we were not playing 3 deep because Bridcutt was playing in attacking midfield and then he proves the point by being in their box and scoring.

Take it with some grace Hardy.

His 'natural' position is irrelevant. He is not being played as a defensive midfielder today. By trade he is a central midfielder anyway

Kapino looks a bit nervy but doing ok

 

[Southern red]

Cardiff’s backline is massive but incredibly slow...we need to play it in behind and run at them

 

[Pope John XXIII]

Mancienne is fucking useless

 

[Skip_4]

urgh

 

[Pope John XXIII]

What did I say?

Fucking useless.

Get him out of the club

Fucking comical in giving away the set piece.

Comical in getting beaten by Bamba at the free kick

 

[Southern red]

Sweet Jesus....what is wrong with our defence

 

[Southern red]

Ffs mancienne...mark your fucking man

 

[Calvin Plummer]

Fucking Manc

Karanka used to be a CH, why hasn't he sorted this shambles out at the back?

Because Hull wouldn't sell Dawson and the others can't defend in the air to save their lives

Hopefully in the summer, we can ship out some of the crap . . . Bye Michael !

 

[Skip_4]

Our ability to miss easy chances and concede soft goals is legendary.

 

[Southern red]

Fuck etc sideways....gifted a chance and we screw it royally

 

[Calvin Plummer]

No.

I just disagree with you.

Live with it

You can't even count, I'd be more worried if you agreed with me.

Just like your nonsense about Osborn who has provided our only real quality going forward.

I don't have to take anything with grace. His natural position is not irrelevant as that is entirely the point I was making. He is a defensive midfielder, as are the other two. He isn't a natural attacking midfielder and is playing out of position. Which is the point about balance. Regardless of where he is playing we were playing with three defensive midfielders.

Which is where he should be playing because that is what he is good at

 

[AdebolaCornflakes]

Mancienne is a fucking disaster every time he plays. Make him fucking walk back to Nottingham

I don't think he is a defensive midfielder as such. He has played there but he has played a fair bit at regular central midfield as well.

What are the defensive qualities you believe he possesses, as someone who hasn't been seen since his tenth yellow card?
