I was hoping Edun would be given the opportunity to take Travis's role but with Pickering out for 4-6 weeks it's highly doubtful.

Of course he will be because we have no one else and he wasn't terrible there, but Mowbray said he bought him for midfield. My response was to the comment, "I'm sure Edun is more of a midfielder." Summer signing Edun will fill in for Pickering at left wing-back, though Mowbray added: “It’s not his natural role,” Mowbray added. “Tayo can fill in there, it’s only over the last year or so that Michael Appleton has tried to convert him into a left back at Lincoln. “We didn’t really bring him here as a left back, we brought him here as a versatile left footed player who I know as a midfield player, a tenacious midfielder who can tackle but also manipulate the ball and travel with it. “At this moment he’ll have to fill in on the left side of our defence and I’m sure he’ll do fine.”

Yep, Sam Gallagher has too.

Mowbray said he bought him as a midfielder not a full back.

Along with Van Hecke and Wharton. Pickering was missed today.

I hope he's better than the last midfielder we signed from MK Dons.

They couldn't pass the ball, it's a weird set up at the moment. Rock solid at the back but Buckley, Rothwell, Brereton, Khadra, Travis need to work on their passing, it's appallingly bad at the moment. The worst is when they pass it straight to an opposing player. Is it nerves, weariness, laziness because there's little competition for places? Only Tony knows but it needs freshening up, I'd love to see a good striker and a good midfielder to come in to provide competition.

Phew 1-0 win.

15 seconds left.

F*ck me the referee has given a free kick that’s not for a Cardiff player.

4 mins added time.

Gallaghers not the player you want up front at a time like this is it.

Dirtiest team this season. Just nasty fouls, relying on the ref to turn a blind eye.

Buckley’s gone to shit in this game.

And the yellow for dissent was because the ref should have given a straight red for their tackle. Wanker.

Referee is being the 12th man for them. Tackle on Brereton, they get a free kick:

Nyambe red card, what a fucking travesty this referee is.

Wharton down, what a set of dirty Bastards this lot are. Should have been a red card, stamp on back of his leg.

Should have had a penalty. Has our luck ran out?

No way is this ending 1-0, just cleared off the line. Breaks for rovers then a Cardiff player sticks out a lucky leg to end the move. We just aren’t getting any luck. Kaminski world class save. And now Gallagher obstructed in their box by a player on a yellow card. We get nothing.

Normally I’d be worried about Gallagher coming on but Khadra didn’t put on the right boots today.

Disgusting tackle on Lenihan.

Our weak link at the back for me, but I can’t fault him for effort.

Khadra not managed to get going yet. Buckleys usually good decision making is missing today, as it was in the previous match. Eduns not a full back. Defence looking solid again but we’ve got to do more with possession. If all the team was playing with the discipline of the 3 cbs, we’d be more than 1-0 up. We’ve lost that burst of fluid play that weve had earlier in the season with the exception of the brilliant goal from Rothwell.

Another bad referee. Is it only sight impaired people who train to be referees these days?
