Do we ever play well on Sky?

JC. Do we have a contractual obligation to play Hirst? Does JDT know we don’t HAVE to go WLWL?

I've had a flick through, there are some absolute belters in there 😆

Is that not just because it was a midweek away game on TV versus today being a Saturday at home? I made about 10 posts on the Cardiff thread during the game, don’t do that when you’re watching at Ewood.

The one at home where “Lucash” got abused all game, Tevez dived for a penalty and Zamora actually blocked the ball going in but Assistant gave it for their winner? Was in 2007? One of the worst refereeing performances I’ve seen at Ewood. Up there for most aggrieved I’ve felt after a game.

Can we send Hirst back? Feel like we've seen enough, I'd rather we focus on developing our own players like Vale and Markanday. Penalty miss aside, he's shown nothing to suggest he's remotely close to Championship quality.

Just voted. Think Buckley and Travis are lucky to be averaging 3.4 and 3.3 respectively.

Is this one not at Ewood?

You have to laugh. Tops off a truly disgusting performance

Absolute joke if we miss this.

At least Dack gets himself into threatening positions, unlike Szmodics who seems to do his best to mark himself out the game.

Deserved goal

I’m struggling to remember many performances worse than this in the last few years. Totally inept in almost every department.

This is as bad as the first half. So arrogant of JDT to refuse to change things, including leaving our most creative player to rot on the bench.

No one will ever convince me Szmodics is anywhere near as good as Dack. Playing only because of his (outrageous) price tag.

No changes is baffling. He hasn’t got a clue imo

That’s up there with any of the shite served up at times by Mowbray’s teams. Very lucky to still be in the game. Hopefully JDT won’t be too arrogant to change it because that was utterly atrocious.

It’s a good job Cardiff are shite otherwise we’d be 3 or 4 down and completely out of the game… As it is perhaps JDT will have the sense to go more direct at half time, won’t hold my breath though…

Awful from Dolan, could have just slipped Hedges in

This is genuinely atrocious. How JDT can’t see playing out from the back doesn’t work I don’t know. Constantly giving it away. Travis and Buckley so poor we may as well be playing with 9.

We aren’t good enough to play out from the back. I don’t understand how long it will take that message to be rammed home with JDT. We’re 12 games in…

This is superb news, should really help us down the line. Fair play to the club for getting it done.

Why isn’t Wharton on the bench?

What an unexpected superb performance. Watford crap for all their alleged quality.

Fantastic move. Lovely stuff from Dolan (lost little boy apparently…)
