HALF TIME: Blackburn Rovers 0 Cardiff City 1

BLACKBURN Rovers trail to a Mark Hudson goal at half time in tonight’s home game against Championship leaders Cardiff City.

Centre back Hudson headed the Welsh side in the front on the half hour, outjumping Scott Dann to meet Craig Noone’s cross.

Former Rovers striker Craig Bellamy then crashed a shot against the bar after testing the defence with his pace, before Noone curled just wide for the visitors.

Started mediocre and ended the half poorly. Midfield still problematic. For all Lowe's athleticism, he cannot make a forward pass and we constantly lost the initiative this way.

Big improvement required.

If it is not working then berg has to change it round, it seems Berg is rewarding Hanley and Dann incompetant defending. There hasnt been enough competition, Givet deserve his chance now, even if he comes as sub, they cant keep getting away with it.

Defence is absolutely pathetic and central midfielder absent as per usual. Berg is not getting anything out of this squad. Berg out Hughes in

Starting the game absolutely clueless points to lack of preparation, unaware of other teams strengths and weaknesses, same goes with rovers attack play, not quick enough, not aware of the most efficient method of atrack, players like Rhodes are begging for early passes or crosses into the box, otherwise it is next to not playing him at all.

You would struggle to find a worst defence down Witton Park on a Sunday morning. Absolutely pathetic. Berg is getting nothing out of this squad. It isn't working, he was the wrong choice. Bring back Hughes now before we are in the bottom 3.

We dont want Hughes in either, spoilt goods with QPR, he wouldnt want it either, walked out on rovers in the prem because rovers was too small a club for him, why come when they are a level below, venky secrety regretting ever set eyes on Berg, shebby must be squirming somewhere.

Is it just me or does Robinson just never seem to get anywhere near the ball!!? Sooner we get Friedel the better, he's not a patch on him. As for Dann, he should be ashamed to be picking up his £25000 a week wage. 25p would be more fitting!!!!

One thing for sure Shebby Singh won't let results like this continue for long if he is serious about his target. This is Keans team, Keans players and they aren't good enough as a team. Would have been same if not worse under Kean. Giving it to Berg to sort is ridiculous.

yes good points merlin..this is not Bergs team and he cant make a sows purse out of a pigs ear. To be fair we were looking like we could get back in it in the second half but two quick breaks and two good goals ended any hopes. Cardiff deserved the win but maybe not the 4-1. Hanley, Dann, Etuhu, and one or two others clearly not up to it. Time for wholesale changes in Jan.

HA HA HA THE BOO BOYS ARE BACK A 4-1 tanking at home by the taffs wonderfull, it almost makes up for your lucky draw at Burnley last week when we outplayed your multi million pound prima donna`s.I bet you wish agent Kean was back in charge but he was way to good for you HA HA HA . Your fans are deserting your team like rats deserting a sinking ship.Cluelass classless club who are only going in one direction under the chicken plucking venky boys and it sure aint the premiership HA HA and a great win for Burnley youth at old trafford tonight happy days .

Have not had a decent defence since Allardyce left Singh and the owners have to take responsibility for the debacle that we are now.I notice silly **** singh kept off the pitch at the end of this one !! the clown.

Du fleiper selvfølgelig. Shebby ikke vet noe om fotball det er derfor han utnevnt meg. Kompensasjonen Venkys vil måtte betale meg å bryte kontrakten min vil være den enkleste pengene jeg noensinne kommer til å gjøre.

Perhaps the players think Bergs a soft touch, it doesnt look like a team who fear a rollicking if they arent going to produce..Cardiff's manager has given Rovers manager a lesson in how a unit beats a bunch of players cobbled together, if this drubbing does wake the players up into action, nothing can.

Absolutely clueless all round - Henning Berg is making coco look like a good manager and to be honest he was no worse. There is no confidence whatsoever in the team, no ideas , no game plan , this is a relegation team make no mistake !
Robinson - finished get rid
Dann - Third division player
Hanley - Scottish third division player
Lowe - third division player
Etuhu - not interested wage thief
Murphy - ". ". ". "

Berg: Looked like a rabbit in the headlights .

how can any body stick up 4 berg. saying its keans team. i remember when ince was in charge an we were crap. they sacked him. big sam took charge with ince's team an changed it around in a few games. so dont just blame it on the players. its the manager we does the tactics and tells them how to play

What's the next move then Shebby,as you said promotion at all costs,better get on to your mates the Venkys or who ever owns us because no way are this rabble going to get us anywhere I think it's pretty obvious by now.

As I said last week, we need a centre half, get used to the championship we are there for a while and start to look for yet another manager.

4 - 1 final result HEEEEEEELP

Rovers have sunk to new depths after to-nights performance. Any thoughts of reaching the play offs is out of the question. The best we can hope for is that Rovers remain the Championship. A big question mark now hangs over Berg. A new manager in the new year could well be on the cards.

Absolutely shocking. Since kean went, we've actually gone BACKWARDS! The ONLY positive under Berg, is that we didn't get beat of the B'stards. He never WAS, and never WILL be, the right manager to take us forward. He was simply the cheap option, again! One win in eight? Not good enough. Why was he sacked from his last job? He wasn't good enough.

The vermin in India, entrusted a TV pundit to find our next manager. What a ludicrous decision. Singh is an IDIOT. It's like Man UTD asking Saint and Greavsie to find Fergies successor. Utter MADNESS!
Promotion? NO CHANCE. We'll be nearer the bottom than the top.

Venky's OUT! Borat OUT! Berg OUT! Hendry OUT! OUT! OUT!

And another thing. Just a few months ago, Berg stated on TV, that no credible manager would take the job. He was right, I guess. And that IDIOT Singh, STILL gives him the f****** job! What a farce this is.

Keep lashing Venkychump, the results don't lie.

Dont forget to take your "chicken in a rovers flag" with you to the next home game. Get it thrown on the pitch now, why wait until the end of the season?

The first one with his back against the wall should be HENDRY! £8000 a week as a defensive coach. It's a disgrace. Dann, Hanley and Olsson are and have been all season, awful. The only crumb of consolation is that Burnley weren't good enough to beat this disorganised, leaderless shower. Honestly, you must be kicking yourselves!!!!!

Venkytrash says...
10:18pm Fri 7 Dec 12

Utter rubbish tonight, not sure berg has any answers but I do know that dann, etuhu, murphy ( not playing tonight) and maybe Hanley need to go!!! I would do better because I have passion for the club but these clowns have none!!!

Defensive drab again. Etuhu had a few moments but average at best. we looked better after CKR came on but too many wasted chances, Formica should have come off sooner. Too greedy for his own good at least CK made a few plays for a change. King had another good game but Rhodes was again left frustrated.

Wasn't expecting a win against Cardiff who are just on fire, but shocking first half meant we were always going to be playing catchup. Berg unfortunately needs to have found his team by now, King, Rhodes and CK up front just seems to work, but Formica to me just is just frustrating and embarrassing with his diving and selfish attitude.

All in all a very telling story tonight, and I think Berg may not be too surprised if he ends up flying to Pune in the near future.
