Bluebirds Best Chasetown 3-1, Advance to Fourth Round
Saturday, January 5, 2008
Cardiff City advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 3-1 away win over non-league Chasetown today, in a game that saw the Bluebirds rally to win after trailing for most of the first half. City fell behind in the 17th minute when Kevin McNaughton turned a cross from the Scholars' Ben Steane into an own goal and it wasn't until first-half injury time that Peter Whittingham's curler levelled matters for the Bluebirds. Class told in the second half as Aaron Ramsey's header put City in front on the hour and Paul Parry added an insurance tally at the 73-minute mark.
The win puts an end to City's eight-game FA Cup winless streak (three draws, five defeats). The Bluebirds had not won in the cup since beating Margate 3-0 in the second round of the 2002/03 competition. City hadn't had so long a winless run since going eight straight (two draws, six defeats) without a win in the late '70s and early '80s. Just so you know, had City lost today they would have matched the all-time club record of nine straight FA Cup matches, set between 1958/59 and 1964/65. For Chasetown, the defeat ended their nine-game unbeaten streak (seven wins, two draws) in this year's competition, one of the most spectacular runs in FA Cup history. The Scholars made it through the pre-qualifying round, four qualifying rounds, and the first and second rounds before bowing out today. You'd have to dig through quite a few FA Cup record books, I'd imagine, to track down the last club to win seven cup tilts in the same competition. I wonder if it's ever even been done before.
The SportingLife.com report has much praise for the non-leaguers' first-half performance. We read that they "began the brighter, two dangerous inswinging corners from Mark Branch testing the City defence before Kyle Perry headed a free-kick straight at Oakes. Six divisions may have separated the sides but Cardiff still struggled to find a way past their opponents' three towering centre-backs despite dominating possession." In the end, though," the day belonged to Chasetown, whose players went on a lap of honour at the end of the game."
IC Wales has a report entitled "Strikes Spare Bluebirds' Blushes," as well as a story on the Chasetown manager, "Beaten Blakemore Bursting with Pride." Nigel Harris has posted a photo gallery to his Bluesy's Blues blog. It highlights a memorable day out and can be found here.
Messageboarders were much taken with goal-scorer Ramsey. Father Dougal had a good bit to say:
What a debut for the lad who turned 17 on Boxing Day.
He was without doubt the best player on the pitch and almost certainly the only City player who played well in both halves. He seemed to be everywhere and was able to control the game. Ok, it was against Chasetown you may say but the others seemed to struggle enough and I have seen plenty of young city talent made to look the boys they are when up against men.
He also got stuck in and showed he was up for the physical battle by winning several headers and putting his foot in where other 17 year olds almost certainly would have not. Added to this, he clearly has class. He seldom gave the ball away, moreover he is very positive in possesion. Indeed, the first goal came directly from him driving at the defence. He was in the right place for his goal and finished it neatly.
I have always eblieved that it takes minutes to identify real talent and I was impressed by Ramsey when I saw him warm up against FC Twente! There just seemed to be something about him, and he has stood out every other time I have seen him.
We must hope we treat him properly as I honestly believe we have a top top player on our hands.
Finally, I really really hope we are allowed to see the lad develop. I have my doubts though as if a Premiership team was watching his display today and had £5mill or so spare I reckon they could do a lot worse than give Messers Ridsdale and Jones a call.
Dano wrote:
I've not seen him play yet, but what people have said about him is very encouraging.
In a strange kind of way, todays game was made for a player of Ramsey's ability and lack of experience. Whenever games like this come up, we always hear more experienced pro's throwing out the usual cliched rubbish about rolling up sleeves, getting into trenches etc, when in reality, if they use there superior work rate, ability and fitness, there shouldn't be a problem. The problems start when the superior team decides to get involved in a battle.
Ramsey hasn't really been in that position yet, and it seemed that today, he did the right things at the right time. Ramsey may have those two rare abilities that aren't often seen at any level, those being composure and vision, and the ability to make time for himself.
There's a long way to go yet, so i don't want to build him up when i haven't even seen him play, but it is looking promising.
Hicks might have summed up Ramsey's impact best of all. He opined, "After seeing Ramsey's performance today rumour has it PR was seen today flicking through a booklet of villas in the Algarve."
Another topic that generated a good deal of discussion on the messageboard was the over-the-top policing of the match. Not everyone agreed that what the police did was so over the top, however. Here's a sampling. About the heavy police presence, Biggwynram wrote:
The only thing that spoilt it for me was the amount of policing, whilst not heavy handed in approach, it stills sends out the message we can't be trusted and that disappoints me.
We came by Mini bus and stopped in a Toby Carvery in Cannock, hoping for a meal and a pint, well the staff almost died of fright, they told us they couldn't serve us and the Police had been around in the week warning all the pubs not to serve any Cardiff fans and to expect trouble.
Anyway we headed off closer to tye ground and found another pub that would serve us, no probelem and a good time, but he told us that one pub close by had been so scared that they'd boarded up all the windows for the day, mad as hell.
Afterwards the escort for the busses took us all the way back to the M50, close on a 70 mile escort with every junction and service station blocked off.
Also the amount of Police that came on and stood in front of the City fans at the end of the game, anyone watching that on TV will think yet again Cardiff are playing up, My God we had 600 Ambassadors up there today, do they use or ask for Police intelligence, did anyone expect trouble, it was just a big party day out. Will they ever get off our backs, mind you we did run on the pitcg against Leeds 7 years ago, so perhaps we do deserve it.
NigelBlues responded by saying, "Even some of those cops were embarrassed charging on from both sides of the pitch to face us at final whistle. Never has a police charge met with so much laughter." He added, "I was talking to a mate who arrived at the ground at 10:30 and those police were carrying out a dress rehearsal of that invasion. What dickhead decided all of that was necessary today?" Cityopinion had an answer to this question:
I tell you what dickhead.... the dickhead who has to protect innocent people.
I know its a long shot but what if it were a nasty game and we got stitched up or something.The fans may have been in a different mood which escalates to the yobs and gives them licence to trash.
Our notoriety is a stigma we will have to carry but the blame for that is the yobs.
NigelBlues countered Cityopinions claims with this:
Your key words here are "long shot".
Bloody hell, if the police provided cover for "long shots", then we'd have 2 on duty at every Spar around the contry and 1 at the bingo halls!
You have to be a little realistic. We know there's always a potential for problems with Cardiff and we know we have a few who can cause problems and we do seem to attract attention too. We also know there haven't been any major problems with Cardiff away - Wolves excepted - for a very long time. Nobody argues that a police presence should have been in place.
However, bearing in mind our support was Ambassadors only and everyone treated it as a fun day, it didn't need to be so OTT and high visibility at all.
Biggwynram wasn't having what Cityopinion had to say either, contending,
Were you there, what Yobs and why the notoriety, do you travel away, when was the last time you saw "our yobs" cause serious problems, over zealous policing has caused the majority of problems that i've witnessed over recent years, and whilst I'll admit not all our fans are angels, neither are the majority of them hooligans.
Mike Morris had a bit to say as well:
What a shocking waste of money.
Who agreed to such a ridiculous over estimation of officers allowed. Cardiff were taking 600 regular away travellers, mostly pop and crisps brigade to a non league side on a day that was supposed to celebrate the achievements of the minnows.
Instead we see a sight like the pic below that makes it look like we are hiding osama bin laden in our crowd.
Then to see the convoy of police taking the coaches back to the M50 was pathetic.
They will of course pat themselves on the back for a job well done but they just made it a circus and scared the Chasetown people and fans, embarrassed us and ultimately embarrassed themselves.
I head a rumour that Chasetown had a bill of over £37,000 to fund this charade. What a waste of money. They should have been at Molineux keeping an eye on the idiots at Wolves that seem to get away with murder.
Mr. Morris has a picture of the police at work, cited in the above as "the pic below." Go here for that. It's a fairly amazing sight.
Who Will Start Against Chasetown Tomorrow?
Friday, January 4, 2008
It's become customary for clubs in the upper echelons of the football league to rest their top players for cup matches against decidedly inferior opponents. Will Cardiff City do the same tomorrow when the Bluebirds take on lowly Chasetown in the FA Cup? If they do, who would they rest?
In "Will Joe Ledley Face Chasetown?" a story he's posted to Cardiff City Online, Michael Morris suggests that "you could forgive Dave Jones resting some of his senior players" and that "Joe Ledley, has earned a weekend off." He adds that, while Ledley would be a prime candidate for a day of rest under ordinary circumstances, these are unusual times. That's because "in this incidence it would send out the wrong message" as it's "no secret that Joe Ledley is a wanted man. Bids are said to have been made by Wolves, there is interest from Charlton and any number of unknown Premiership clubs are monitoring his progress, with Everton the latest linked." Mr. Morris elaborates:
"If Joe is 'rested' from tomorrow's cup tie then it will not be interpreted as a 'rest' but as a decision not to cup tie him making him a more attractive proposition to another club." It will be quite interesting then to see whether Ledley is included in the starting eleven.
Beyond the Ledley question there's the matter of what other changes Jones might make. Of course, with a small squad he can't make many, but there should be at least one or two new faces in the lineup. On the Cardiff City mailing list, Scott Thomas asked,
What other changes are mooted for tomorrow?
Oakes in goal we know about. Will McPhail be replaced by Blake or Ramsay (I don't know either player enough to know which) or by a positional switch for someone else?
I can see Purse starting and taking over the captaincy, in place of Loovens would seem sensible given his injury record and the type of game I can imagine it being.
Maclean for JFH? You've got to hope though I am sure that would dissapoint the Chasetown support and media.
Steve Gabb suggested, "I think he may move Ledley to the centre, Parry to the wing and Thompson/Maclean up front with JFH." Mr. Morris added that
the only suggestion so far is that Ramsey could replace McPhail. apart from the obvious inclusion of oakes.
we are not deep in numbers. forde i guess will be on the bench, of the outfield players blake and ramsey are the only two that get near the matchday 16.
with fowler and sinclair injured i thnk we are looking at the likes of kevin cooper and matt green being the next in line for a place on the bench.
The bottom line would appear to be then that City can't do too much to changes things tomorrow. The club doesn't have a very big squad and it's even smaller these days with all of the injuries. I'd look for Ramsey and Blake to get starts as both have been appearing in the matchday 16 of late. Beyond those changes, and Oakes in goal of course, look for a lot of familiar faces.
Your Guide to Chasetown FC
Thursday, January 3, 2008
This Saturday Cardiff City meet Chasetown in a Third Round FA Cup match at the non-league club's Church Street ground. As Chasetown are a Southern League Division One Midlands outfit, playing in the eighth tier of the football pyramid, little is known about them. Some might recall that a couple of years ago they got as far as the first round of the FA Cup, where they battled Oldham to a 1-1 at home draw before losing the replay 4-0 at Boundary Park.
So, with the match coming up in just a couple of days, where can we go to get caught up on Chasetown, who they are, where they've been, where they're located, and so on? Well, some useful links have appeared of late. And there are links that have been around awhile too. So, let's have a look:
* BBC Sport has put a handy guide together back on December 21, "The Lowdown on Chasetown." It's well worth a look. Check it out here.
* Michael Morris has received a some pictures of Chasetown's Church Street ground amd has posted them to the Cardiff City Online site. You can find them here.
* Mr. Morris has made another page on Chasetown available at Cardiff City Online as well. It covers results of their last half dozen games, showing that they've been going great guns and spending a lot at home. For this info, go here.
* Tony Kempster's Football Club History Database (FCHD) is a great place to go for Chasetown's history, at least from a statistical standpoint. Here's the link to the FCHD's Chasetown page.
* The venerable Football Webpages site has individual pages set up for every club in the top eight tiers of the English football pyramid. As Chasetown are in the eighth tier, this would include them. You can find their page here.
* And, of course, there's the club's own website. You can find it here.
Keeper Kasper To Bid Bluebirds Adieu
Wednesday, January 2, 2008
Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is returning to Manchester City after all. Stories in the press have suggested of late that Man City might extend the loan deal, but it's clear enough now that he's played his last game for Cardiff City. In all, Schmeichel started 14 games for City, the club's last 14 league games to be exact. During his stay, the Bluebirds picked up 23 points via six wins and five draws, and moved up five places, from 16th to 11th. Mr. Schmeichel has had everything to do with City's improved form. His five clean sheets alone attest to that. City had only one clean sheet in the 12 league games prior to his arrival.) In his 14 games, City conceded only 14 goals. In the 12 before he arrived at Ninian Park, the Bluebirds had conceded 18.
Chris O'Brien at CCFC Sleeping Giant has the story of Schmeichel's impending departure. In "Schmeichel Completes Loan Spell and Leaves Ninian Park," he notes that "the 'keeper has put in a number of superb displays for the Bluebirds and his performances have helped the club turn their fortunes around." He adds, interestingly enough, that Schmeichel might have stayed but "the terms on the table weren't satisfactory." I'd have thought there wasn't anything to discuss but it's suggested here that "if he did stay Manchester City would want a 24-hour call back on him which is not an ideal situation," that according to Dave Jones. I'd wonder whether City can afford to hold out for an "ideal situation" when the alternatives to Schmeichel aren't that great.
Speaking of alternatives, Jones and Ridsdale appear to have their sights set on a Polish keeper by the name of Grzegorz Szamotulski. A Vital Football story, "Cardiff City Chase Szamotulski," has the duo "at Tannadice Park today to watch a Polish goalkeeper in action in the match between Dundee United and Hearts." The 31-year-old "is attracting interest from Plymouth Argyle in the Championship along with SPL rivals Hearts and Celtic." He's been "at Dundee United on a short term basis, but he is available to leave shorty."
If the Szamotulski alternative doesn't work out, there's always Michael Oakes. The 34-year-old started the seven league games prior to Schmeichel's arrival, along with the Liverpool match in the League Cup. Even if Schmeichel were somehow to stay on at City, Oakes would still get the call when the Bluebirds take on Chasetown in the FA Cup on Saturday. That's because Man City wouldn't want Schmeichel cup-tied. TEAMtalk.com has a story on Oakes's return for the Chasetown encounter. In this account, "Jones Challenge for Keeper Oakes," the manager is quoted as saying that "Oakesy has got an opportunity. I have known him a long time and he is a good, steady, honest pro and a good goalkeeper."
City Blank Plymouth 1-0, Climb to 11th
Tuesday, January 1, 2008
Cardiff City opened the new calendar year on a bright note, besting Plymouth Argyle 1-0 at Ninian Park. The win is City's third in a row at home, its fifth in the last seven, and moves them up a spot to 11th in the first table of the new year. Joe Ledley netted the only goal, at the half hour mark, intercepting on a botched clearance from Pilgrims keeper Larrieu and tapping in from short-range. Plymouth's best chance came at the very end of the match, when Lukasz Jutkiewicz's shot brought out an impressive save from City keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
The SportingLife.com report notes that "Cardiff's festive form has eased the pressure on boss Dave Jones and brought a sense of renewed optimism to Ninian Park following a miserable start to the campaign." About the game winner, there's this: "Former Pilgrims full-back Tony Capaldi pounced on a poor clearance before drilling in a shot from the edge of the area which goalkeeper Romain Larrieu could only parry into the path of 20-year-old midfielder Ledley who gratefully tapped home from close range."
Nigel Harris has posted a detailed match report to his Bluesy's Blues blog. There he describes the win as "a hard fought, unglamorous, gritty but fully deserved 1-0 against a poor Plymouth side who were physical, limited and had you wondering how they started the day in 6th place and a play-off spot." Of the contest itself, he observes:
The game was a battle but City are in fighting mood these days and got the upper hand from the off. Playing good football, stopping Plymouth's breaks at source and easily looking the better side when they kept the ball down, their key problem was coming alive in the final third as they were struggling to create openings, the final ball was not quite good enough or in JFH's case, it was bloody awful.
In his report for the Urban 75 website, Paul Davies
has this to say about the early going:
Watching paint dry has never seemed so attractive after the first half hour, Cardiff allowed themselves to be dragged down to the same Stone Age level of football as our visitors. We were lacking pace, invention, creativity and struggled to make any inroads into a static Plymouth rearguard. . . .
As a spectacle, this game was a non-starter, there was almost nothing of consequence to report on in the first half, apart from the small matter of the winning goal. Joe Ledley added some more pounds to his transfer valuation with yet another crucial winner, after he seized upon a parried clearance from the Argyle keeper Romain Larrieu and calmly slotted home to ease the tension.
Mr. Davies wasn't any more captivated by play after the break, noting that it offered only "more of the same . . . , as a titanically tedious tussle ate away into the recesses of the brain and ground down towards the full time whistle. Festive fatigue was evident, and Cardiff did well to hang on in there.
On the messageboard, Wilts served up the following player ratings:
Kasper 8 (Good handling and has installed confidence in back 4)
McNaughton 8 (This guy is short in stature but is commited and his skill in lobbing the ball over Ewanx Blake was great)
Capalidi 8 (Set up goal and best CCFC performance)
Johnson 8 (Another player who gets better and better and his Mrs is smart)
Loovens 8 (Solid)
Parry 7 (His pace caused problems)
Rae 8 (Covered well for Johnson and looked good going forward)
McPhail 7.5 (Good passing and got stuck in)
Whittingham 7 (Good first half faded after break)
Ledley 9 (Here, there, everywhere-good goal and good luck!)
JFH 4 (waste of space)
Leggy Has Lost Faith in Ridsdale offered these:
Kasper - 8.5
McNaughton - 7
Johnson - 9
Loovens - 8.5
Capaldi - 8
Whittingham - 7
Rae - 8
McPhail - 8
Ledley - 8.5
JFH - 4
Parry - 7.5
Eric the Half a Bee provided a set of ratings as well:
Schmeichel: 7 - Two good saves, some good catches, though his kicking leaves a lot to be desired.
Capaldi: 7 - Worked well with Ledley down the left and got forward well in the 1st half to good effect.
Johnson: 7 - Distribution and some clearances were shoddy but made important challenges and dealt with the physical aspect of the Plymouth attack.
Loovens: 8 - No nonsense and dependable.
McNaughton: 7 - Below par first half but was exceptional after the break.
Ledley: 8 - Scored the goal and looked most likely to break a stubborn Pilgrim's defence.
McPhail: 8 - His passing was outstanding in the first half especially.
Rae: 6 - Drove forward often and won a few tackles but was let down by poor distribution.
Whittingham: 4 - Not his day. Mucked up a few decent attacking moves and lost possession too often.
Hasselbaink: 4 - Looked lethargic at times. Another game for him to forget.
Parry: 6 - Looked lost at times up front but was more dangerous on the right wing when Thompson came on.
Subs:
McLean: 5 - Lively but missed 2 glorious chances which won't do his confidence any good.
Thompson: 5 - Usual Thommo, though his run down the right flank after robbing the defender ended with him harmlessly and carelessly running the ball out for a goal kick.
In response to this last set of ratings. leftofcentre exclaimed, "Schmeichel's kicking? Surely you are joking, he couldn't place it any better if he used laser guided cruise missile! He gets distance from little run ups and have yet to see him kick straight out, must be mistaken with Turnbull!" Fatboy Sheep wrote, "Thought Schmeical's kicking was ok today."
About today's opponents, The Other Bob Wilson had this to say:
Plymouth were a typical modern day Championship side in that they were a spirited, pretty physical, well drilled and hard working outfit who didn’t make it easy for their opponents, but, the reason why I feel we just about deserved to edge the game was that we had a little bit more quality than them.
About City's response to this "well drilled and hard working outfit," he wrote:
I can’t help thinking that Plymouth would have won yesterday if that game had been played in the first three months of the campaign when we were too tippy tappy and too nice. Lately though we have been able to match the Plymouths of this world in the physical battle that is every game we play in this league and then bank on that bit of quality we have to make the difference - if we can keep on matching sides in the work rate and organisation departments for the rest of the season, you have to think we have a chance of achieving something.
Can this really happen, though? Can City "achieve something" this season? The Other Bob doubts it:
Mind you, there are plenty of reasons why this will not happen, for example;-
1. If Kasper Schmeichel leaves we could well see our defence return to being to the jittery, malfunctioning unit it was before we had a keeper they were confident with.
2. Gavin Rae said that the Charlton match down here was a bit of a watershed for the team because they realised that performances like that just weren’t good enough and the onus was on the players themselves to do something about it. As time goes on, the impact of that defeat will start to lessen and there has to be a chance that we will slip into our bad old ways again.
3. I’m not sure we will score enough goals - at the moment, our midfield and one of our centre backs are succeeding in bailing out our non scoring strikers, but how long can that last?
4. Things could be taken out of the player’s hands if, as seems likely, our board decides to cash in on one (or possibly more) of the players who gives us that “little bit more quality”.
In reply, Pug wrote: "Bob picks up the real point. Our strikers don't strike, unless Ledley, Johnson or Parry score we don't. Still for the life of me I can't understand the JFH and fowler signings, it bugs the hell out of me." On this day, though, worries over the JFH and Fowler signings seem very much rear-view mirror stuff. It's worrisome that City might not even have a 10-goal scorer this season but the Bluebirds do have six now at four league goals apiece. The total goal haul stands at 33. At this rate City will manage 58. If they can get 58, it'd tie them for second-best in five years at this level.
Top Five & Worst Five City Moments of 2007
Monday, December 31, 2007
The CCFC Sleeping Giant website winds up the year with a thought-provoking pair of stories, both penned by Chris O'Brien. The first story is devoted to the top five Cardiff City moments of the year, the other story to the five worst City moments of the year. The top moments are fairly surprising. Would you believe the 4-2 League Cup win at West Bromwich Albion on September 25 was tops for the year? The first thought there has to be that surely there was something a bit better than that. But then look at what else made the top five. Beating Colchester 4-1 at home is second, followed by losing to Liverpool in the League Cup. Hmm. That's two League Cup entries in the top three.
Worst moments seem a bit odd as well. The worst of the worst was losing 3-0 at Charlton on November 10. O.K., that was bad. Next worst? Losing at Ipswich 3-1 to warp up the 2006/07 campaign. Third worst was losing the FA Cup replay to Tottenham 4-0 at White Hart Lane. All pretty poor no doubt but the worst three? You're left to think that there had to be worse moments than these. What's a bit off, too, about these stories is that they don't really deal in moments at all. They deal in games. It'd be fun to see how "moments" might be defined, both tops and worst, and then what compelling examples might be served up from the year now ending.
These stories got a bit of attention on the Cardiff City messageboard. Reworked asked, "Where is the stunning victory over Preston at home last year?" He added, "And beating WBA Reserves is as good as it gets?" Terrace-Culture defended the choice of the cup win at West Brom:
Watching Cardiff City score FOUR GOALS in thirty minutes is pretty exceptional. It's a strange choice but ask anyone it was there how it felt to watch CCFC run the Baggies raggid with thirty minutes of the best football we've played in many, many, many years. For one night only, the Dad's Army came good and for that 30 minutes we'd have beaten anybody.
TruBlue wondered, "Where's the making it to 31st of December 2007?" Not a bad question, eh? Dom D'Orgeval had a go at the writeup of the Colchester win, " "Our emphatic win against the U's proved to even the most negative Cardiff fan that the team is far too good to be relegated. Famous last words."
What's tough, of course, with these stories, either writing them or challenging them, is that 2007 was a pretty blah year. The top moments weren't all that tremendous or memorable, and the worst were only as bad and as forgettable as some pretty bad moments from other campaigns. Still, I'd like to see such stories concentrate on moments, not games, especially if they're tagged as stories about moments.
More Preston Match Reports
Sunday, December 30, 2007
A handful of additional match reports on yesterday's 2-1 win at Preston are now available. They don't offer a lot that's new but, as City won, they make for some fun reading. Here goes:
The Telegraph has a brief report entitled "Joe Ledley Gives Cardiff Belief." Included here is a bit from manager Jones. "Cardiff manager Dave Jones reckons City are finally redressing their fortunes. "Maybe our luck is starting to turn because we're making it turn. There's a good feeling in the camp," he said.
Entitled "Interest Rates Up as Ledley Hits Form,"
the Wales on Sunday report contends that "Every one of the scouts at Deepdale yesterday will have been impressed by Ledley. He capped an all-action display with a winning goal of rare quality." This report has a bit about the weather. "The rain, wind and pitch conditions made defending and passing difficult, but Cardiff stuck to their task and, in the end, outworked their hosts."
ICWales has a report, "Bluebirds Continue Away Form," that includes this description of the winning goal. "The Wales midfielder exchanged passes with Hasselbaink just inside the Preston half to get behind the home defence and might have gone down under the challenge of Sean St Ledger but kept his feet to steer the ball past Andy Lonergan from a wide angle."
