Seems harsh to say but I thought our subs both dropped deeper when they came on and that gave Bournemouth more time at the back to move the ball. No idea if that was the instruction from the bench or just how they played.
Great write up as always and enjoying the book
I agree about the subs, I was a little disappointed with them, they led to Moore becoming more isolated at a time when he needed all rhe help he could get. However, I notice Mick McCarthy went out of his way to praise them both after the game.Quote:

It's not a great period for the pessimists on here.
Roger Stanislaus can't get a game up front for Bournemouth at the moment (he is a 52 year old left back to be fair), Junior Stanislas is keeping him out of the team.
When was the last time before yesterday that a City right back won a penalty and got caught offside in the same game? Peltier?
Thanks Bob as always, I thought Moore's penalty kick was superb again, I would keep him as the main penalty taker when Ralls comes back into the team.

Surely there is no room for Ralls at present ?
My understanding of Wilson before he came was that he was a social media footballing star (all highlights, not enough between those moments) but he's showing now, as he did under Harris, how hardworking he is off the ball while still being effective in key moments. His output is more or less matching Harvey Elliott this year who is being recognised as having a really good season.Quote:
Wilson played for one hour against Bournemouth and had the ball just 25 times. Cardiff weren’t looking to keep the ball, then.
In that time, Wilson attempted just 14 passes, completing eight. Impressively, though, he created three chances.
That’s a fantastic ratio, especially as Bournemouth didn’t dispossess him once. Wilson was something of a creative force, creating just under 25 per cent of the game’s overall chances.
And we did it without having the ball very often.
Defensively, too, Wilson was good. He won a tackle and a couple of interceptions.

Harvey Elliott is 17 though, which makes his achievements all the more impressive.Quote:

it felt so strange seeing a right back driving into the box like that. a welcome change certainly.Quote:

What a great option to have on the bench when he comes back thoughQuote:
