Excellent performance today from Buckley. Well done, lad!

YES!!!!! DIAZ Hat Trick!

Penalty...give the ball to Ben!

He plays midfield or left back.

All that great attacking work but I still think Ayala has been the standout player today. We're a different team at the back with him in the side.

4-0!!!!! Dolan! What the actual F is going on?!?!?

It's 3-0!!! Ben with a second! Not a single player has had a bad half. All have had their moments. And this has not been a poor performance from Cardiff, they look threatening. We look like a team playing with confidence and with players enjoying their football.

Inspired by Ben's Chilean adventures into wanting to add a Latin American flavour to his game, Sam Gallagher has today decided to channel his inner Gabriel Batistuta...remarkable stuff from the lad!

BEN!!!! 2-0!

Gallagher with - I kid you not! - an exquisite first touch, as dainty as that of a ballerina, before sliding it in the net.

GALLY!!!!!

Unsurprisingly for a team managed by McCarthy and Warnock in recent years, Cardiff are looking dangerous from set pieces so we'll need to be alert at all times against those. Ayala qa rock again.

Our loan strategy has no coherence to it, it's a random shotgun approach. Clarkson and Poveda are taking opportunities away from our own players, principally Butterworth, Chapman and McBride. When van Hencke finally is fit, he'll likely be taking away minutes from Carter and Wharton. I'm not against all loans, but they should either be possible permanent recruits (we used to do this well pre-Venkys) or much, much better than our own youngsters, preferably will an option to buy. Khedra might be a cut above, but the others?

We might as well enjoy the moment as if he wasn't potted after last season's death spiral, he certainly ain't going anywhere while in the play-off positions. I reckon the percentage chances of TM leaving or of him receiving a new contract are about 10/90. He's going nowhere, and I'm not even sure the majority of Rovers fans want him to leave (BRFCS is not a good barometer, just look at all the LET comments and Facebook claptrap) so we may as well lump it.

I think we are. Maybe not to all, but to some.

These two are connected. Travis is worrying me and has been since his return from injury. Just hasn't seemed quite the same.

So, in other words he needs to stop cheating so much? He'd be a better player if he wasn't always looking to go down like a sack of spuds, that much is for sure.

As a defender I'd be happy against either tbf, so when you consider that they cost £12 million between them... That truly is a shocker!!!!

The 45 minutes before booing = 0-0 The 45 minutes after booing = 2-0

Daniel Ayala...A centre-half worth waiting a season for? Arrived on a free, he's been our best player of the season by far up to now. The Boro connection's paid off*! * - Ignore Pears, Chapman etc., etc....

Yes. Gally had a shocker and Butterworth was the obvious replacement. TM instead decided to keep him but still completely mess up the entire formation of the entire team when 2-0 up.

We can tear out our hair all we like at the state of the squad but the truth is that we would only be one point off the play offs is TM hadn't brainlessly thrown away two points on Saturday. A decent manager would be fine with this squad, certainly get it top half. We just need to bring one in.

....and we paid £5 million for him. Plus just sold Armstrong and not brought in another striker, so we're pretty much stuck with him in the team. £12 million for Brereton and Gallagher. Yowzers.

Who disagreed? Nobody. He was awful. I didn't read a single poster state otherwise. Crowned off by the worst ever run-the-ball-to-the-corner-flag since all the way back when he did the same against PNE.

He wasn't the main culprit, however. Not arguing that he was awful on that goal, but he was trying to mop up the mess of the rest of the defence. Why was he there? Because our 27 central defenders had gone AWOL. He should have been covering one of two Luton players on their left but he got sucked into covering the player in the middle which none of the central defenders had picked up and who Travis preferred to watch stroll into the area unopposed rather than to run a little tiny bit faster to track. So yep, not great from Nyambe but everyone else did just abnegate their responsibilities and left him holding the can. I don't think we'll get much for Nyambe, he's stalled badly in his career.
