Not gonna lie, I can't figure out those subs. Buckley has been our best player, probably the best player on the pitch actually, Moran played his best game in ages, and Dolan has been a nuisance. None of them should have fitness issues really. Maybe Buckley but no signs of it and hasn't been flogged lately.
-
He played week in week out in a couple of spells for us. I never thought it was fitnes that looked the problem either, just effort. He wasn't blowing out his ass, he just wasn't putting a shift in.
-
Hard working? He certainly wasn't the last few times I saw him for Rovers, in fact that was the most frustrating thing about him. Maybe his failed loan at Lincoln has finally motivated him.
-
Why did he come off if he was playing well? Injury?
-
Quite how he didn't when he took two of them out like that is beyond me! Guess the ref noticed he did try to tuck his legs back in.
-
Stopped him what?

That *was* the January Window

Competence. -
I'm not sure we can consider a club record 22 million fee to be giving away.

No, Hyam, Szmodics and Brittain all cost more. -

I wouldn't be saying he was a slightly better keeper if I 'wasn't having him'. But he really isn't that great, nor that much of an upgrade. He's simply in better form than Leo was, and better form than he himself was before injury where Wahlstedt actually looked an upgrade for a short while as Pears had been shakey. We've also become more concerned about defending lately and leaving the keeper less exposed. -

Not sure about that, more that he was failing at shots that were mild tests. Reckon he would probably have made all the saves Pears made tonight. Pears' abilities are being massively overstated, as are Wahlstedt's shortcomings, mostly by people who vociferously wanted Wahlstedt out the team and don't want to admit the replacement is only a little bit better. Neither keeper is good enough for us at present. -

How much better? A little bit. Imagine where we would be? I'd say about 3-5 points better off. He made a few saves tonight but I'd say only one was any kind of test. -

Looked more dangerous than we did in the rest of the match. It's just been a poor game all round. -

Cardiff commentators seriously biased. 'Oh he's unlucky there' He's not unlucky, he's yards offside. The linesman not making a terrible decision isn't 'unlucky' (though I guess you could argue they make plenty of terrible decisions...) -

Looked a different team since the subs. -

Second time I've seen someone say this lately, but if we drew every game then yes, it probably would keep us up. -

How the fuck have we not scored there? -

We need to remember that's a league where our youth LB (probably about 5th or 6th choice here if everyone was fit) is impressing. He probably was a gem for them. Hopefully Dolan injects more impetus for us. -

It says something if Moran is an upgrade. Personally I think Ayari has shown good feet. He just seems to lack the brainpower needed for his role. -

Aye but far too clumsy for it.
