Our ability to.give the ball away so often is remarkable.
Poor defending, long ball pumped up to the big man, who brings it down well whilst being felt up by Nelson.
It's baffling why. Last season post lockdown he and Morrison were colossal in defence.Quote:

How on earth did their guy get a shot away in our own box? They were both right on him and not one of them got any part of their body between him and our goal.
People go on about how basic we are attacking-wise, we are not even "basic" defending.
Nelson looked very uncomfortable dealing with him initially then decided to simply stand off him :shrug:Quote:

We should send Benković back to Leicester on 1st January if he can't get in the team ahead of Nelson in this form.Quote:

What you hear is the sound of pitchforks being sharpened, and Bluebird 23 and Bobby Dandruff humming a happy tune.
Bollux!
We just made him look like Maradona.
Made him look like Maradona ffs:facepalm:
I'm seriously worried after that.
He walzed through us like feckin Maradona!
A midfield who not only cannot pass but cannot tackle.
Incredible defending
Maradona.
Bobby and Bluebird will be loving this.
The Bennett back heel, dangle the leg tackle was found wanting then.
What an absolute shitfest. Before the second goal I was thinking this is just about the worst brand of football I've ever seen. Our defence are like chocolate soldiers and I struggle to get what Ojo, Vaulks and Whyte bring to the team. On this performance I think I'd only keep four players, the rest can be shipped out ASAP!
Balls. I didn't realise it was an early kick-off. I've been preparing for a snowstorm. I thought I'd only missed 30 minutes.
Anybody else think we made him look like an recently deceased Argentinian no10?
And you’ve tuned into a shitstorm!!Quote:

Can't wait for Harris to tell us how gutted he was/is after the game.
Some of this is schoolboy stuff.
Vaulks having his third poor game in a row, Bennett having his third poor game in a row, Nelson having his third poor game in a row....
Need greater squad rotation to stop it having an impact on results.
Yeah... about 10 of us mentioned it earlier :hehe:Quote:

Give Cunningham a run of games.
None of them are playing well. All poor some worse than others.
We need a set piece or a Birmingham gift.
Its more likely they will score again.
I agreed with the first fella.Quote:

Cardiff have a penalty!
Glatzel steps up...
Misses..
Saved by Ethridge.
You just knew that was going to happen.
I’ve definitely found this performance and game more irritating than Saturday.
It gets worse. Terrible for his confidence.
Of course Etheridge has a feckin blinder :hehe:
Don’t get a better save than that.
Glatzel never looked confident.
Why wouldn’t you give the penalty in that situation, to a brilliant dead ball kicker like Wilson.
Good save from a decent pelanty
Great save. But why risk Glatzel? We know he's a confidence player. That's not going to do him any good.
