v Cardiff City (a) 04/10/2022

[K-Hod]

We are so lucky Cardiff have been so toothless this half- we’ve offered nothing.

We need to get to half time unscathed and make some changes, urgently.

I don't think its fair on him and Travis. Theyre outnumbered and overwhelmed.

If you can't pass the ball 5 yards , what difference do the numbers make

[Tricky]

Getting murdered through the middle too often, our second half can only be better eh? 

Everyone behind Cardiff will be pretty disappointed not to be up here... 

On and side note, does JDT go mad or don a cheeky grin during his HT team talk too? 

[Dan]

What the fuck have Dack and Adam Wharton done to not get picked. Our entire midfield is dogshit without any creativity. 

[Gav]

Outstanding header by Ayala

[roverandout]

Ayala the only player showing his worth

Travis off , dear god. 

I really worry when Trav's on the ball, although we have shown zero quality here. 

I've rarely seen us pass the ball effectively and consistently all season. 

We look really poor more than we look really good. 

If we can stop gifting them the ball in the final 3rd, we'll hopefully grow into the 2nd half. 

[Angry_Pirate]

0/10 first half. AGAIN.

[K-Hod]

So strange that Adam Wharton hasn’t made the squad the last few weeks.

He’d be doing better than those in his place tonight for me!

And Pickering for me.

Hirst must be better.

No I think they have been bad and even if they could do with more support when in possession have been awful and haven't impacted the game offensively or defensively.

[joey_big_nose]

If we don't go back to three at the back at half time JDT needs shooting.

While we've haven't conceded, Kaminski too 

[yankfan]

Do we really want to be playing the ball “forward” still 20 yards shy of mid field? FFS we’re asking Ayala to play weighted three ball to Buckley with a man batting down on him just to get out of our box. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Genuinely (and I know we can all exaggerate) one of the most infuriating halves I’ve seen us ‘play’ in years and years.

Dreadful half, but we survive for a huge second half improvement hopefully

[jim mk2]

That was absolute tripe.... so lucky not to be losing. Same as the Luton game, inviting trouble all the time. Manager hasn't a clue if that's the way he wants us to play

There's a few that don't seem to get a look in even if we're awful - A Wharton, Dack, Markanday and to a lesser extent Phillips jump to mind immediately.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Need to change it around, we are woeful.. pesosnally would go 5 at the back... and sub Buckley and Smodiz

[simongarnerisgod]

the only good thing about that half was  that we are not losing,credit to anyone who has made the long journey

[bazza]

I'm beginning to lose faith in this "head coach"(manager).

This is irony? He's the main culprit giving the ball away

[BankEnd Rover]

Words can’t describe how bad we’ve become. 
 

A comfortable 2-0 Cardiff win here. There is no chance in hell we are getting a draw never mind a win. 
 

 

[chaddyrovers]

Not great 1st half we kept a clean sheet so far. 

Disappointed in how slow in tempo our passing is. Also movement not good enough. Brittain hasn't been used enough in attacking sense. 

Buckley's passing so far has been awful so far.
