    He's got absolutely acres of space with the narrow midfield set up Bristol have. Dabo will have a field day when he gets on 2nd half.

    Great time to score away from home too. This young bristol team will open right up chasing this game.

    Thought he'd wasted that when he let it bounce away from him but it's a lovely ball and a really good finish.

    O'Hare's first touch and hold up play from Bristol's corner and then his spin and break is exactly why he's so important to this team.

    Godden out for another FOUR weeks

    As poor as he has been, in fact because of how poor he has been, I'd say Waghorn probably needs that run of games anyway.

    Said it on the match thread last week that the signings of Kane and Bidwell have troubled me. They're very average championship wingbacks, on longish contracts taking up a decent chunk of the budget with 0 resale value. All signs are pointing to a fire sale of our stars in the summer in order to...

    I'm surprised we aren't being investigated for human trafficking the way we keep forcing Jodi Jones to travel everywhere with us for no reason.

    Because the budget is small and been largely spent on contract improvements. It forces Robins to play the long game and incrementally improve the squad year on year. Frustrating for the fans. Think the real test for Robins will come in the summer when we have to sell one of the stars to fund...

    Watched that with the wife tonight although she doesn't often take an interest. She just gave me a kiss goodnight and said she should have had an early night instead and then I could have had a wank and played video games. Not sure what she thinks I'm about to do now?!

    Thought that was an obvious bump on Sheaf in the build up to that 2nd goal but still plenty of opportunity to deal with it afterwards. We have a very small squad with 4 excellent players and the rest are all very samey - no pace, no height, no trickery, no creativity. Just nice, hardworking...

    Then Clive should be asking him why he's only made 2 changes in each of the last 2 matches and one of those on 85 mins.

    Not sure whether people realise just how superstitious Robins is? When we're on an unbeaten run he uses the same piece of chewing gum until we lose and in between games keeps it behind Adi Viveash's ear.

    Match Thread Cardiff City (A)

    For the most part Cardiff have done exactly what i would have done against the team we have out. Crowd out O'Hare and Sheaf in the middle, let our wingbacks have the ball out wide knowing they can't beat a man for pace or skill, and let them cross the ball from relatively deep into a single...

    It is but need to mix it up a bit. Few times Sheaf has been begging for the ball and Fadz hasn't even looked up. The possession is very sterile. Only Sheaf in this team that is looking to play a quick clever progressive pass.

    Fadz by slowing the game down and only passing sideways, Rose has been sloppy in possession a few times when using his left foot.

    Exactly. Loads of possession but the stat is misleading. Fadz to Hyam to Kane to Hyam to Fadz to Rose to Bidwell to Rose to Fadz to Rose, 30 metre chip down the line and hope we catch a break from it. Cardiff just sitting back and crowding out the midfield options.

    Don;t think there's been a single pass into the DMs from Fadz or Hyam yet, it's all sideways and backwards which is pulling Shipley and O'Hare too deep a lot of the time. Rose the only one looking to really progress us up the pitch.

    There's definitely contact from the keeper on the 2nd one, but you're never going to get it 3 seconds after such a pathetic dive.
