I'm going to throw a curve ball into this, our strikers are getting all sorts but I think our real problem is the midfield, we create zero quality chances, yes Wright has been poor but he's not had a decent chance all night.
he’s bollocks FFS

If Robins dares to use his "Some positives to take away" and "you know they're a tough team" bollocks....

We need to try a different formation. It looks like we have bought players who dont fit what Robins wants to play.

I'd honestly try a 433 of

Wilson
MVE Fadz Kitching Bidwell
Kelly
Eccles Ayari
Sakamoto Godden Wright

Disgrace really, when will Robins wake up and bin Palmer off.

Godden and Kelly thanks for the service but really you should be our past and not the present.

Huge mistake to not bring in a central midfielder.

Just get to 50 points really, I think we've got some decent players but missing a couple of key ingredients to the team. Stay up this season and try and and make a push next season or the one after.

More than a bad day at the office, being beaten by an average Cardiff side, didn't expect anything tonight but this is absolutely terrible..Robins seriously needs to look at his "favourites" and make some decisions..we are rapidly going backwards.
Not just beat, we weren’t even competitive

Watching on iFollow. Credit to those who travelled.

Was hoping for a top 10 or top 12 finish to the season. Think we just need to avoid relegation.

Doesnt matter how much possession if you don’t create chances.

Wright was poor. Ayari showed why he wasn’t picked to start. We miss a midfielder able to hold the team together

I also believe our problems are midfield. Two midfielders who don't want to show for the ball and don't want to take risks. Both like getting stuck in and tracking back, which is fine, but that's not a balanced midfield. On tonight's showing Kelly would stay in to do that job.

Playing Wright and Godden together is strange because neither of them particularly want to show for the ball either. They both like to run on to perfect passes through the lines - which we're not doing with our current midfield set up.

We've had an extra days rest, they had their cup final, n they've completely controlled us all night bar one chance.

This game doesn't worry me. I'm more worried if we don't see a reaction in our next match. To be this poor and not get a rocket up their arse would be alarming

Nice of the officials to give 10 minutes and help Cardiff get their goal difference up.

Can't think of many positives tonight.

He’s got to abandon wing backs - they are creating nothing - exiling Bidwell was bizarre - we just have no shape

1 win in 8 games in all competitions this season.

But people keep saying "oh we've only lost 2 in 25 or whatever the number is". problem is we don't have 2 of the key players who helped us in those games. We're screwed.
