    The only positives are TC and Skipp
    And Okonkwo 
  • Good game for kelman
  • If we were in Cardiff's shoes... 2-1 up, and having wasted all those chances I'd be very nervous going into the second half - We really need to try and come out, and make them regret all these opportunities they've not taken, would be a good result to come away with a point, but if we can get an early equaliser, who knows what can happen.
    Of course all that means that Cardiff will make it 3-1 within 5-mins, because of how slow we start the second half!!
  • Not very often you’re 2-1 down at HT and happy with it. Somehow still in this. Would be very happy with a point

    That was a disaster. Should really be 5-1 down before half-time. How is that happening again so soon after Stoke? That's not acceptable.

    The defence has been shocking since Bindon has come in. 
     
    The midfield is once again not effective. I like Skipp and Coventry individually but they are way too similar to play together. Neither of them want to drive into space.

    Alli looks like a League One player who's used to turning over possession every few seconds without consequence. Grant has been woeful and not in the game at all. Leaburn totally isolated. 

    The only parts of this team that are working are Isaac and TC.

    Players need a rocket up the arse.

    Awful performance, no cohesion and chasing shadows.

    Cardiff do look very good and while it’s not been the best rear guard from us that I’ve ever seen, they’ve been by far the most creative side in the final third we have seen so far this season.

    You can see why they are right at the very top in terms of stats like xG. And similarly, with some of those misses, you can see why they’ve been struggling to turn dominance into wins.

    I actually think Grant is shit 
  • Should be 4-1 down 
    still we’d all take x amount of points from y amount of games and being 6th 7th 8th 9th  etc in the table 
    Hopefully the ref will make a big mistake and we can blame him 
    always looking down the table

    More holes in our defence than Blackburn, Lancashire!

  • If Cardiff have 2 players sent off we'll be on a level playing field.
    Make that 3, don't forget they have the ref as well...

    Goalkeeper kept any hope alive. Ali dreadful and should be subbed. Can Coventry play a forward pass. Sort it out Jones we even look terrible at the back today.
  • We’ve only had 10 shots on target all season 🤮 
  • Alli looks very lightweight to me. We have got a few like that in there today.

    People keeping Grant on the pitch are barmy
    who do you reckon we should play on the wing? Nkeng? Great place to make your debut this 
    Why not?, don’t pick him if he can’t play, Grant has done nothing on the right all season, time for him to play up to the reputation , he’s been shocking
  • We’ve only had 10 shots on target all season 🤮 
    We're bloomin' clinical then seeing we've scored seven goals...
  • I still don’t understand what Skipp is/does 
    He's one of them feeble, immobile, nerdy weaklings that football experts love to praise for his "tactical awareness, vision, composure and ability to read the game", which is fairly abstract. This is done because players like Skipp have absolutely zero athleticism and natural footballing talent, and can only pass the ball sideways or backwards. Literally nothing else.

    Fucking substitute teacher looking nerd.

    Pathetic display across the whole of the pitch

    unacceptable, soft and you’ll see more movement and pace from a snuggle of sloths 

    We look completely open in at the back, we’ve taken this sitting deep to absurd new levels and there’s a complete lack of passion and professionalism on show.  

    Whenever we get the ball it takes us far too long to try and start something.  

    Alli is league one fodder.  Weak, offers nothing and I’d give Nkeng a run out just to shake it up a bit 

    Up until today I was pretty accepting of how the last 4 games had gone, willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, but that half of football was an insult to all of the fans.  

    They all need a huge kick up the backside and need to come out and show some fight

    I understand it's not the way Jones plays and we're not exactly set up to do it but if love just once to see if control a game, even just a bit better than we do. Always feels like we're just hanging into games and hoping to snatch something from nowhere

    Conditions in Cardiff favour first half but we are outnumbered in mid we need to revert to 3521 to pack the mid and stop Moylan from having to much space in front of our area .. .. Two mistakes one from Jones and one from Bindon but Bindon making up for it with a superb pass for Campbell to slot home .. still very much in this but Leaburn and Grant need to do more

    Alli just can't do anything right today, having one of those games, shame as he was pretty electric against Pompey apart from the miss
    About as electric as a toaster in the bath

    I mean that would mean he's been incredibly electric no?
    Depends if it's plugged in or not.

  • This is probably the worst I have seen this season,players just cant trap r control the ball,Ali is crap,Bindon likely to give a goal away every time he gets the ball.How we are not 4-5 down is mystery.Would this have happened with Doc in midfield,Only hope is get Bell on for Bindon,Kelman on for Ali and hope.

    I'm convinced NJ confuses them!

    I mean we did want Jones to rebuild us in his own image, shame he's not a looker.

    In their last two home games, Cardiff have had 26 shots against Stoke and 28 against Sheff Utd.

    They tend to do this to teams, with the passing and moving of their midfielders and attackers. This isn’t us being uniquely shit.

    But surely you can see we have contributed to them looking that good.

    Dykes sets up two goals for Millwall with his set-pieces. Not good enough for our excellent attack though I was told. 
    But it's not Leaburn who is the problem. 

    Are we capable of holding the ball up top in this game? I can't see it. 
    Having Dykes instead of Leaburn wouldn’t have changed this game into one we dominate.

    Incredibly we are still in this game. Need a strong second half performance, stop the defensive errors, and actually start testing Cardiff goal properly. Game should be gone already, we have to make use of moments like this and now get something from the game.
