What other PL team is desperate to pass the ball back to the goal tender?
Even in the middle of a drive forward?
It seems to be the only goal of our back and mid field play .
We can't score going backwards.
Heartbreaking

Goal Tender??????????????

[Riverside]

Goal Tender indeed
If an American can see one of the biggest flaws in our game why can't Jol !!

More every free kick seemed to go backwards  :012:

[Twig]

Who, or what, is a goal tender and what is a drive forward? Mystifying.

OK well I suppose you think constantly passing backwards is positive football?
I'm as heartbroken as anyone.
It was difficult to watch.
I'm sure you were there too.
Ease off the " American" stuff.
I'm a season ticket holder and have been following the team for many years.

Jol is a very negative manager & we'll win nothing with that style of play. According to the stats, Cardiff had 17 attempts on goal today compared with our 8! Jol wouldn't dream of playing like that away from home, or at home or that matter! If you keep attacking you will score, as Cardiff proved today.

if you were a season ticket holder and had been "following" the team for many years why on earth would you refer to anyone as a "goal tender"?

Incorrect terms yes, but they are self explanatory so hardly mystfying

"Keeper"

Goalkeeper, Goalie
If I said "Field", rather than "Pitch" would that be too much for your intellect to grasp what I'm saying?
From the remarks above "Americans" are looked upon with derision....though being Canadian ( British born with a British passport), I can only take comfort in the adage that "assumptions based on ignorance are beneath consideration when judging one's worth" and as such on this occasion I'm quite happy to be lumped in with the yanks.
I'm sorry there seems to be the need to attack the messenger rather than look at the message.
As I said, I'm heartbroken ( gutted) and upset ( losing my rag) at how the team is playing.
Shame isn't it ( innit?)
I'll put the  shooting the messenger attitude down to the fact that everyone is feeling let down ( hard done by) after the game ( match) today.

When you look under the hood at the team you realise they have nothing in the trunk
