Mason starts for Cardiff today.
back to Bolton for another loan: http://www.bwfc.co.uk/news/article/m...4-1371529.aspx
Scores for Bolton.
Goal!
Goal! Bolton Wanderers 2, Blackburn Rovers 0. Joe Mason (Bolton Wanderers) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner.
Looks from the commentary like him and Jutkiewicz are playing very well.
And again for Mason this week. True fox in the box.
Jutkiewicz also on the scoresheet for the Wanderers again.
And Zat Knight too.Quote:

IDK about that. There was a time when he looked like a world beater.Quote:

José Mourinho may be guilty of wailing about his misfiring strikers the loudest, but with goals in general not a problem at Chelsea, the issue is being most keenly felt at Cardiff. Just one goal in the last nine league games dating back to the beginning of February has been scored by a Cardiff forward – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer persisting with alternating Kenwyne Jones and Craig Bellamy alongside Fraizer Campbell during that period. Following last weekend’s 3-0 home mauling to Crystal Palace, they are in desperate need of someone to step up. Joe Mason – on loan at Bolton – has scored five times in eight games in that same period and returns to Cardiff next week having completed his maximum 93-day loan. However, the 22-year-old was not registered by Solskjaer in the club’s Premier League squad in January – ousted in favour of fellow striker Jo Inge Berget, who has been given just 72 minutes (without scoring) since signing from Solskjaer’s former side Molde. Cardiff have five games to make up a six-point gap to 17th place, starting with a trip to Southampton on Saturday, but the Norwegian manager must be scalding himself over Mason’s omittance.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reminds me of Max Bialystock. He is so inept that it is almost as if he is trying to get Cardiff relegated.
Solskjaer is one of the worst managers I've seen in the top division.
(Cue a Cardiff win today)

Reading join Bolton in the race for Joe Mason's signature.
Did we establish if he actually wants to play for us or not?
Re-signs with Cardiff and now to be loaned out to Bolton it seems.

That was quick. 4 minutes and he's gotten his first goal.
24-minute hat trick for Mason tonight to put Bolton 3-2 up against Rotherham.
Report here, Freedman very happy with Mason!Quote:

Wow that is amazing the place has gone hat trick crazy.
What is it with Irish players at the moment, they have suddenly gone goal crazy, Eoin Doyle, Mason and Hourihane all scoring at will.
They much be our new front 3.

Strange that Mason hasn't been called up yet. I've been championing it for a while now..
Again, can't see why the author of the piece is having a go at Long. He's started barely any competitive games. I'm not sure he's even started consecutive competitive games yet. It's difficult to get a run of goal scoring form in conditions like that but he's proven in the friendly games that he can score goals. Our managers are too conservative/frightened to play him/drop someone else, even though Long's style of play is more beneficial when on the back foot; that's not Long's fault.
I'd say there are some truths in there, obfuscated by some exaggerations.
I heard O'Neill say that he doesn't feel Keane can do any of the required donkey work up front, for want of a much better phrase. I think he felt we'd have more of the ball in Georgia. I can't believe he'd be so blind as to insist on doing the same thing again.
But while Long doesn't deserve the criticism in that article it's not fair to say he has shown in the friendly games he can score goals, not reliably anyway. The friendly games have shown that he needs several clear cut chances to score. But as we all know, it's not his goals that are his best attribute, he has a strong case for selection for other reasons.
Joe Mason has been the topic of discussion here long before TOWK joined the forum. His career has had fits and starts and no consistency to date. Finally he now has a chance to shift his career up a gear and he's in a good run of form. He's definitely one of those outside the squad with a chance of playing himself in, but I wouldn't go as far as saying that he was warranted a call up before now (or even now).
Russell Slade wants to build Cardiff's strikeforce around Joe Mason and another - as yet, unsigned - striker.

Bad news for Eoin Doyle's chances then.
Which player would you pair with Joe Mason in Cardiff City's attack?
- Eoin Doyle - 49%
- Kenwyne Jones - 42%
- Federico Macheda - 7%
- Alex Revell - 2%
Good news for Mason though. You know, just for a bit of balance to the interpretation of that story.
Off the mark for the season: http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33857729 - hopefully he can build on this, become a more consistent goalscorer and put himself into the picture for next autumn's qualifiers.
2nd of the season today so 2 from 5 games. Cardiff up to 5th
Mason scores again to secure win for Cardiff after Anthony Pilkington opened the scoring - let's hope that this time he manages to turn a streak into consistent long-term goalscoring
Fourth goal of the season for Mason today as Cardiff move into the playoff positions
Seems like he is building a solid career brick my brick at Cardiff.
Just looked at his stats!!
He has a 90% pass completion rate!!
Pretty good for a forward, mind you a few other forwards have high rates too.
I guess maybe it is that if they are not 100% sure of making a pass they have a shot instead :)
...and fifth of the season for Mason - keep your fingers crossed everybody - looking like he could become an option next year and we're going to need younger forward options soon.
He should've been called up two years ago in my opinion. Ultimate goal poacher.
Thought he might have got a shout for the extended squad for Gibraltar/ Georgia at the time, definitely worth a call up come the spring friendlies if he stays fit.
Danny Invincibles foray Into YBIG is not going well.
What's happening?
Bet the German were bricking it thinking Mason would be called up to the squad, they must be relieved now.
Dunno but it sounds funny.Quote:

One longtime ybig poster called Danny "A troll." And insinuated he is thought of as that by the population at large. I was going to jump in and defend M'Lady but then I thought it would just make things worse. At any rate Danny, you may be a man without a country soon.
Didn't see that, but there is always some idiot on forums calling people trolls.Quote:
