The problem with our players is when we are moving forward, we seem to dawdle in midfield and pass sideways or backwards and let the other team get set up again at the back. I'd like for us to make a quick thrust forward when there is an opportunity to do so.

Unsure about the goal, but yeah that save was poor - parried right into the six yard box

Rudoni has been good. EMC also BUT I wish he would cut in less.

Bassette showing he’s still a bit too raw.

LB still very clearly the weakest position. Also need Kitching to find the form he had from the start of last year as Binks doesn’t do enough for me.

Think Simms will do well as the central striker in this formation as we're getting a lot of balls into the box from out wide. Would like to see him get a decent run out today.

The loose passes and defence is a worry. As been lucky a few times that fast midfielders have been able to get on the end of lose balls

Da Silva has been ok for me - far better than MVE so far. Not sure why he gets so much hate.

PS still also way too slow. Some cross field balls have been splendid though.

Cardiff could go in thinking they'd be ahead as well though TBF, it looks like what it is, two bottom third teams low on confidence.

We look a bit lopsided, think it's the least we've seen from MVE in the opposition half ever.

Some attempts to play quicker one and two touch play but it's broken down due to sloppy passing. Got to keep trying it though rather than the 5 touches and go backwards we exhibit 90% of the time.

EMC doing well but can he take on his man just once please - y'know like the player we thought we were signing

Build up play is still too slow. Tats , Sheaf doing well apart from couple misplaced passes

The CB's - I dunno what to say anymore.

He shouldn’t be playing. Dovin is learning nothing on the bench

Seemed like he should save it from where I am sat in line with it, admittedly not the best view. Will confirm later and possibly back track

sheaf really isn’t doing well, it’s way more than a couple of misplaced passes.

Dasilva is woeful. Defence is poor and milan has forgot how to pass.

Who would we make captain instead? Eccles gets too emotional on the pitch anyway.

Decent enough but the defence is dodgy again. By now I think we just need upgrade. Whether that’s one or two new CBs or a genuinely quality ball winning anchorman type to protect them.

Same old same old really.

They are terrible, we’re making them look far better than they are.

Where are our subs? Watch one come on now and get injured because they haven’t warmed up properly.

Tbf the first 5 minutes had intensity which dropped as soon as the Cardiff players stopped pressing the CB's. At which point they can't work out how to break the press. Need better movement in the middle.

One of the biggest issues defensively is to a man we don’t track back

LB is still the major issues it means whoever is there is playing for two defenders at the moment. JDS just gets bullied.

I prefer Dovin if I’m honest. People say “what has he done” but when he has played the games have largely been free of goalkeeper related drama. That’s enough for me

Bidwell is the absolutely sensible choice anyway, but certainly in a back 4 when JDS is getting up the pitch anyway. If he is fully fit then it’s just bizarre.

For an attacking wing back position then there’s a case for JDS.

If it’s the one I’m thinking of, the ball really moved/ swerved in mid flight. Thought it was a good save in the end.

Pretty sure one of their players fell over on the ball and still retained posesssion vs Dasilva two separate times in this that first half.

We never do anyway

Just kick a ball about for 10 mins trying to avoid sprinklers

At the start of the season I thought we would be lucky to hold on to MVE but he’s like a different player. Misplaced 3 simple passes in a row in that first half - that’s mindset / concentration.. I think he’s been a bit complacent with no real competition at RB.

Overall I thought we looked quite bright tbh but could easily be a 2-2 first half.

Not a great half it sort of drifted by not really exciting hopefully we see more when Franks had a wee to work with them, shit marking at set pieces costs us again with another free header can Mason Clark actually run?

Fair. Couldn’t really see that if I’m honest so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Indeed, he just doesn't put in a challenge. And I mentioned earlier in the thread he's been told not to overlap which just seems to make him even more redundant.

Bidwell in when fit for sure.

He’s only 46 mate, he can go for a wee at half time and then hopefully we’ll be good.

He’s very young for a keeper and needs game time.

Yeah that's how I saw it, it swerved then dipped quite a bit at the last minute.

I really hope we find a way to win this. Cardiff look so awful and losing or drawing with them would just sap our confidence and would be another missed opportunity in another winnable game.
