Tyrone Shoelaces

Or Oldham.

I read they turned down a £ 12 million bid for him from Leeds.

I think teams are working us out and how to play more effectively against some of our players. Yesterday I thought outside of the central core of three centre halves and the keeper we looked tired and lethargic, we were back being second to too many contested balls/headers. Lots of careless, sloppy passing. Putting it in a sentence - when we play well we “ out enthuse “ the opposition. Cardiff “:out enthused “ us on Saturday. To a certain extent we allowed them to bully us. Of course we weren’t helped by the officials in that respect. Brererton came in for some rough treatment and I suspect his reputation as a diver went against him. Reading their site that was possibly their best performance for a long while. When you’re up at the top everybody tries to knock you down, you’ve got to expect that and be ready for it. We’ll need to be a lot better than that at Hull. Play like that again and we’ll probably lose.

Rigger’s post was referring to our technique, or lack of it , at throw ins. If you watch the highlights you’ll see that Cardiff’s best chance came from a cock up at a Rovers throw in when we carelessly lost possession in a dangerous area.

He looked to me like a player who was learning the role today. Just my opinion of course.

Chances are Edun will be playing left back at Hull, I don’t think Sam will be.

He was playing full back today.

It’s his best season ever.

He doesn’t “ sense danger “. That’s important in a defender.

They won’t have Dyche at Everton, especially after the season Burnley are having.

Yeah, I was underwhelmed with Edun as a left back.

There was no sign of Diaz today. Let’s hope Sevilla were watching.

He doesn’t seem to be drawn to the ball a lot like he used to be. Now he just holds his position and plays things as they come.

Cardiff’s best chance came when we ballsed up a throw in just before half time. Their winger got possession and put in a great cross that their striker couldn’t quite get to.

They’ll not get him on a free.

They should have stuck with Big Sam. How many managers have they had since they fired him ?

Yes I agree about the bcd element to the game. It was like a pre-season bcd practice game. We never really got going.

Gallagher and Brererton weren’t exactly pulling trees up today.

I thought we could do with an influential midfielder after today’s performance. If Buckley and Travis aren’t firing on all cylinders we’ve nobody with a creative streak to bring on.

I’m thrilled with the win and the three points but we need to be able to put two passes together again. That was like one of the games in our death spirals apart from the result. We looked like we’d walked it to Cardiff.

He needs to get back to that crossroads at midnight sharpish.

Will you be happy if we play like that at Hull Gav ?

Not that badly.

But it wouldn’t surprise me.

This is the furthest behind Australia we’ve been in my lifetime. If we’re not careful we’ll be in the same position as our Rugby League team are were we haven’t won an ashes series for 40 years !
