Thought he looked pretty good v Swansea today. Cardiff's best player I'd say. Not enough of his colleagues on same wavelength. I'd say he's had a very good pre-season as looked full of running throughout.
Also thought Colwill was an upgrade when he came on.

If that's Cardiff being good you have low expectations, though they were better second half,and I suppose it's a novelty actually having a Welshmen on the pitch

Ok so I am clearly a Swansea fan but I can honestly say if Cardiff bred another bale or Ramsey I would be genuinely happy,yes I know Cardiff supposedly have good young players but they seem to be farmed out to god knows where and kind of flounder and stall (as is football sometimes of course),but you are our capital,start behaving like it.i know Davies is an exception and what happened to him is a bummer but what about even giving the young guys a chance to fall before farming them out, surely Cardiff fans understand what i mean?

Very poor game, with none of the Welsh contingent playing well apart from Colwill. Fotmob had Ramsey down as a 5.7, which was just about right.
Cooper disappointing after a good game vs Preston.

Just two completely needless digs at Cardiff there
Ramsey looked better when he was in a deeper role, possibly the first time ever for that

Bulut has no idea what to do with Ramsey. If you're going to play him as a 10, then you need to surround him with pace and exuberance rather than lumps like Meite and Kanga, we've ended up with a 33 year old Ramsey leading a disjointed and poorly coached press. That was his game 5 years ago, all it does now is tire him out and take away his potential effectiveness Bulut also has no idea what to do with Colwill, who for me is the best player at the club |

Best part of the game was Colwill standing up to Darling late on, shows the lad does have a pair, both teams look like struggling again this season tho'.

But, Cardiff have signed a few players and working some of them up to fitness. Although arguably the injury record is of particular concern as it hasn't been great last season either. Swansea are still looking to fill a few spots and have got a couple of really good players (not to play down their other players or be insulting there). So I think it'll be a bit easier to judge end of next month or into October. I think Cardiff will be fine, and if Swansea can get a couple more in then they'll be fine too I'd imagine. |

I di wonder whether Bulut really has the nous to transition Cardiff to a more possession oriented side. Given what was said in advance of the match I was surprised how passive Cardiff were. Perhaps it's because they don't have the players for a high press, but they made it too easy fir Swansea to assert control in the first half. Cardiff improved second half, to be fair, but both teams will have to improve a lot to be sure of a mid table finish.

I think Cardiff had more of the ball in the opening 3mins of the game yesterday than the last load of derbies combined!! Playing it around the back though. I can see better sides than Swansea pushing them, did look dodgy. |

First two games (well, three including the cup game) we've had more of the possession. So from that perspective he's initiating a change. But, it's felt a case of keeping the ball for the sake of it (which has its place at times in a game). But to make it effective the movement off the ball needs to be much better. I'd hope that improves as the team get used to it. Only time will tell.

Yeah I was there. Had a really tough time first half where he was very poor tbh, losing possession of the ball more often than not. He came out all guns blazing in the second half and came really close to scoring twice. Cardiff were on top for much of the second half and Rambo was part of that. Then they conceded the second goal against the run of play, and they were all crap for the last 10-15mins.
Colwill was ok when he came on, but nothing special and I was disappointed that he didn't show the same attitude and desire he showed in the midweek game. It was back to the Colwill of old where he was happy enough to drift around, one or two nice touches / passes etc. but nothing more. He didn't show the same determination to run the game like he did in midweek.

Half the crowd had left by full time. For a few years it's been a crowd a bit on the edge really and a lot of discontent. But I think anyone reasonable will see he needs a bit more time, he's trying to change the style of play and getting some new signings to fitness. That said, the team selection is a bit bewildering at times and I can't remember the last time I saw a 90 minute performance (or close to it). So there's certainly some substance to criticism. |

We gave him a new contract and he's had some money to spend (and I think have made some good signings, but time will tell). But it's Cardiff City, who knows what will happen. |

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c80enyxyy4mo"Never considered international retirement". Good lad Aaron! Hopefully he can hit at least 90 caps before he does retire, be great to have 5 members of the 2016 team in the 90+ club (presuming Davies plays another 4 games for us!)

From BBC-
Aaron Ramsey had five shots in his first game under Bellamy against Turkey, more than he managed in any appearance under either Ryan Giggs or Rob Page; it was his most in a Wales game since September 2017 against Moldova (10 under manager Chris Coleman).

Thank you! I bet that doesn't even include his header in the first half :+) |

If I was Ramsey, I'd be disappointed if I had five shots at goal and didn't score, and the mistimed header came off his shoulder . Ouch !

According to the FAW buildup page, Aaron captained us already v Montenegro as a 19 year old, securing our only victory against them with his 4th goal for Wales. (3 games. They won the first two!)
