Brighton, a smelly plug, maligning headless chickens, why Bellamy and Dave Jones need to be handed the poisoned chalice

Brighton are a shit team. No disrespect intended. They just are. They sit above the three teams in the relegation zone like a smelly plug.

And yet they enjoy over 60% of the possession when playing Cardiff City. Cardiff, the team the bookies made favourites to go straight back up to the premier league.

Why?

Because Cardiff have no idea. No idea what so ever. What? Eh? They know how to play the long ball? Nope! That’s why we cannot keep possession. We do not know how to play the long ball. Dave Jones used the long ball, amongst other tactics, by utilising the amazing skills of Jay Bothroyd to hold the ball up and play his colleagues into space. But now no one knows what to do when the ball is hoofed forwards. I cannot think of a metaphor that doesn't malign headless chickens.

This is why every team that comes to the Cardiff city stadium has more space in the middle of the park than they would find on Lavernock beach in December.

Woeful. Pitiful. Grim. I have run out of words to describe City under Russell Slade.

I, like every fair minded city fan came to view Russell Slade as incompetent at this level. Yet we held our collective breaths through the January transfer window while we saw HIS players and HIS team play HIS way. Result? Even worse than before.

To cede 60%, and at times 65% of possession, to no hopers like Brighton says it all.

Fans lash out at Whitts and Gunnarson not realising that if you do not have a system in midfield then even the greatest players in the world will look incompetent. No one in a blue shirt knows what to do or what anyone around them is supposed to do.

We are 6 points from the relegation sink hole. The tide is rising. It has reached our waist and soon it will be neck high.

Slade must go and he must go right now. We need a professional, experienced manager. Mister Tan are you listening? We have tried managers who are inexperienced at this level and all have fallen flat on their backsides.

As for who, well that’s a question it will take a wiser person than me to answer. I cannot see anyone around at the moment. Craig Bellamy under Dave Jones might be as good a team as can be found.

Its about survival.

And to think Neil Lennon actually wanted the job.
