Two poor performances in a week but Riza deserved some more time after the significant improvement in the previous games.
We look lost without a striker though and if Robinson is not fit I’m not sure what the answer is but I know it isn’t Willock Meite or Kanga.
Not sure what has happened to Daland, he looked so impressive on his debut but was all over the place today and no idea what Ng was playing at for most of the game.
A lot of possession but not in any area to hurt Blackburn
We really need a striker. It was telling today, we had lots of the ball but no end product.
El Ghazi should be dropped, he was awful first half.
I don't think we were as bad as some were saying but defensively we were poor.
It’s that bloody Trump to blame, we’ve gone to pot since he won :facepalm:
They lost their last three games.Quote:

It's their first away win of the season.
The game was over before half time :shrug:
Honeymoon over, time for d i v o r c e
I don't know what it is with NG these days. Yeah, he's always had that 'wind-up-merchant', niggly aspect to his game, however, he didn't win 'Player Of The Year' award for two consecutive seasons solely based on this.Quote:

roll out the red carpet for mark robins...
Simic not even on the bench for Kortrijk today. He's not going to be the answer to our striker problem.
Extremely naive & missing a captain / authority on the field. We basically played 4-2-4. We also kept hitting high balls into the box when we didn’t have anyone to get on the end of them.
Agree totally. I was thinking during the game that our corners were pointless. May just as well give goal kick to Blackburn.Quote:

Even at amateur level they know you don't have the goalie as captain. He's detached from the game, from his players, and from the ref. I'm sure Robertson or Turnbull could do a better job.Quote:

Blackburn had just come of a bad run but they have players who are sharper and quicker than our best..
We just seemed to carry on the poor performance from the Luton game. We really struggle without a target man, and though not playing with a recognised striker may briefly confuse a defence, it doesn't half limit your options.
We had 12 corners to 1. All were hopeless lobs . Oh for a Whitts !!Quote:

someone has already said it but Ng doesn't seem the player he has been, El Ghazi needs a spell on loan in NZ or somewhere a bloody long way from Cardiff. Meite needs more game time, Kanga? Well Kanga?
Willock looked ok today.
And now no football for the friggin intl break.
they were decent.Quote:

That says it all, looks like leaving Daaland out hasn’t done him much good. El Gaza can just do one…..Quote:
