Bang average was probably a bit heat of the moment, but I don't think he's as good as some make out.

Very solid but very unspectacular. I just want more from a modern wing back.

Quite why you're so offended by the notion that in my opinion a guy playing for the best team in the league might be better I have no idea.

It's just an opinion. Same as Kenny Jackett being better than Mark Robins is just an opinion.

Not sure the team he plays for means much in this instance , vik walks in their team and we're 11th ( as am example of why it don't mean much ) individual players alone don't put you top

I like bidwell , I think he's a very solid player

Love watching Bidwell and how he defends…. That low stance, the constant watching opposition players movement and how he moves from offensive to defensive and back without really breaking into much of a run. He’s a class act and does all the basics really well.

he’s also a better supplier of crosses and general delivery than Mastsen or Mccallum

I would bring in Dabo for Bidwell and Tavares for Allen then Palmer for O’hare if he’s out. Quite worried about Callum Robinson for them.

Cant see Allen starting. Been poor for a while in my opinion. Cant see Allen being here next season if we are to push on after the take over.

The low stance defending was what the F.A. Coached when I was doing my badges…. Slow down, sit down, stay down… show down.

I think Allen will probably start just because we're low on options but he was bloody awful the other day and probably deserves to be dropped for that.

The only way I could see it would be Palmer in for Allen and Waghorn in for O'Hare, for something a bit different.

I think he'll go with Allen and Palmer behind Vik though.

I don’t think he was poor so much as shown up to be well below the level of his opponents.

A loss to the second placed team in the table away when you had just lost arguably your most influential player to a serious injury should not be dwelt upon or analysed too deeply. Today is another day, we have to move on.

They’re not good. Booed off the pitch following their 0-0 draw with QPR. Apparently they put in a decent away performance…at home.
The fans I’ve spoken to (not just the Mrs and her dad) are thinking they are relegation contenders.

They’ll beat us 0-3.

Given the loss of O'Hare, it'll be interesting to see if we change our tactical approach of playing with a high press. Allen is capable of harassing, but Waghorn is just too slow and not sure of Palmer is quite quick enough.

Will MR change to playing Waghorn just behind Vik and play some longer passes??

Palmer in for O'Hare, assuming we'll be as unchanged as possible for this one unless there were any knocks we don't know about. Not too much else we can do anyway. Would bring Waghorn in for Allen if he needs a rest

Back us to nick this 1-0, will hopefully make it up after being laid low with a stomach bug from my bastard beloved niece and nephew since Christmas Eve

Ticket sales look good. Much better than WBA. Only a few single seats left in the East stand.

Won't be too far off the West Brom attendance given Cardiff are bringing 2000+.

At £20 a pop, up the walk up should be a lot higher too.

Bit random, but would anyone like a free sky blue hoodie? My boy's grown out of it now. It's a size MB, which according to Men's, Women's & Junior's Sportswear Size Guides | Avec Sport is a 9-10 yo.

I can bring it to tonight's game and meet up in the concourse of Block 20. PM me if interested!

My first game at the CBS tonight for a long time. Really looking forward to it.

I'll be in block 22 if anyone wants a pint/scrap!

Home-end sales look the highest I've seen this season behind the goal.
Cardiff sold 2.2K with pay on the gate also.
