I have never been one of Ralls' greatest fans. However, I have to concede, that was one of his best games for us in a long time.
He broke up so much of Forest's play and used the ball much more effectively.
I think he really benefited from having players around him who weren't static.

Agree with you. He got forward quite a lot too

First time that I've enjoyed watching us play at home for absolutely ages.

Not moaning...just that he was NOT struggling....so why disrupt things???

Another game Wednesday so saving his legs as he hasn't played much football this season.
Makes sense to me.

Aside from being far more incisive in posession, the big difference with this midfield is that they compete for and win a lot more 2nd balls.

They're also far more intelligent in terms of shape and positioning. Wintle today did the Gunnarsson role to perfection. I may be being a little harsh here but to me it didn't seem a coincidence that the two times we did get sliced apart was when Vaulks came on.

Looked like a completely different team today, fresh and eager….at last!!
Keep that up next few games and we will be fine

Re: FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 NOTTINGHAM FOREST. Match thread

It really shows how hampered Ralls has been playing alongside Pack and Vaulks.

Wintle was great today makes me wonder why we sent him on loan in the first place.

Your first sentence is spot on. We look so much better without Nelson, Bacuna, Pack and Vaulks; shame the latter came on for the dying stages though.

In Doyle and Dramah we have two young, talented and exciting players, it's just a shame theyre not ours. Hugill had a star debut. I was so impressed with him; he's an intelligent player and he certainly looks like there's plenty of goals in him. He had a big influence on our attacking play today, not just for the goal but for his general clever performance as a target man. On this performance I don't think Giles will be too badly missed.

If we beat Barnsley on Wednesday I'd say we've bought ourselves another season in the Championship and if Morison keeps this selection we might start to make upward progress in the league.

Just a final word to Vinnie, go on open your cheque book and buy Doyle Dramah and Hugill.

Manager deserves some credit there. The players he’s brought in/back made a difference and the commitment of the whole team was spot on.

Great atmosphere tonight.

All the new boys did well, particularly Hughill.

Ng looked as good as when he first arrived and although we didn't keep a clean sheet, still looked a bit shaky at times, the result will do wonders for morale.

Ralls had his best game in ages.

Amazing what a couple of willing runners can do for a team. Great to see people actually wanting the ball.

The fight is far from over but with what looks like a couple of astute signings by Morison, things are looking a lot rosier than for a long while.

Up the city!!

Loved that, great game and well worth the soggy walk home. Mad how different that team is to the last one we saw at home

I agree. Hopefully we can drop Pack & Vaulks from the squad soon

Good performance, shame about the goal but overall far better than last weekend. I've wanted to see Ng in the back 3 for a while and I'm glad Morison was brave enough to try it

The sooner we move on from them the better
