Yep good point. Hopefully we get someone in and get better over the break. **** relying on Tomlin this season. He's a child.

Frustrating, but a good point in the end. Remembered how to defend!
Stupid from Tomlin.
A few very dodgy performances in the first half - but much better second. Osei-Tutu sounds much better as a defender than I expected. Ojo had his best game yet? We were just on top when Tomlin decided a lazy shoulder barge whilst on a yellow (and barely out of the Blackburn box) was a good idea.
It seems that this season is going to be a hard slog for us.
ojo or oh no... clearly reads the forum as he pulled his socks and tried to make an impact today
but wow i know its early days but if harris recons this is a decent squad we are in all sorts of problems...
3 players min needed
Yes, it was a stupid thing for Tomlin to do.
But before we all get on his back, let's just remember how many games he's won for us. His credit score with Cardiff is heavily on the plus side.
Not condoning a rash and stupid rush of blood to the head, but cut him some slack. We will miss him next game, but we need him. If we could all control our emotions, then the world would be in a lot better position.
And we would possibly have taken all three points. In another parallel universe we did!
Tomlin can be a fool sometimes
Ojo much better today
Tutu MoM
The defence played very well today. Tutu and Cunningham especially. I thought Ojo had a decent game today too. I think it's time to get Tomlin out of the starting line up for good. He did **** all today except get himself sent off. It's not worth playing him from the start in the hope that there'll be one moment of individual brilliance. Give him 20-25 minutes if we need to. We should be establishing a core of players that work as a team and do it well.
I know it's not always easy getting the players you want, but it's getting a bit daft now - literally the only 'creative' [ie skillful] midfielder we have in our entire squad can't be relied upon to last 90+ minutes. I wouldn't start with Tomlin either, but with a centre midfield squad of Bacuna, Pack, Vaulks, Ralls, there's currently no other option..
We play 4-2-3-1. The central player in that 3 is key for me. Baccuna played there last week, and looked out of sorts (he seems better ‘holding’), as a consequence Hoilett and Ojo never saw the ball, and looked poor. Today, Tomlin played there, and I think we looked better, certainly Ojo and Hoilett saw more of the ball. I think ideally a fit Ralls would be our best option in that central 3 position....let’s hope he gets fully fit during the international break.
Has to be said Tomlin - despite his - occasional - creativity - is a luxury that we cannot afford - either in playing terms or financial terms. It seemed today as if he said 'hey I've done 70 minutes....I need to go off.
Just watched the Sky highlights. What on earth was Tomlin thinking there! A quite bizarre challenge and an obvious red card. Have to agree it did look as though he wanted to be sent off.
BTW - what happened to the CCFC radio commentary today, I couldn't receive it. Was it just me?
I renewed my annual audio subscription about 5 minutes into the match. They had finally pulled the plug on the 2019-20 audio subscription.
I got nothing for about 35 minutes (apart from an email thank you immediately the credit card payment went through).
Then 10 minutes from half time the CCFC audio kicked in and was fine to the end.
Apart from the delayed activation it was working OK for me.
Poor game.
Hoilett and Ojo much better today, and Baccuna better at ‘holding’ with Pack, a more creative ‘10’ with Tomlin Instead of him...till he got the red...what was he thinking! Hopefully Ralls will be fully fit for Preston..
A forearm smash by Tomlin, a great save from Smithies and the kits don't clash as alleged by some.

Looking at the premiership so far.....I would LOVE Everton to win it!!!
I have to agree.
The problem is that when he isnt playing we don't really look a threat.
With the players we have, if we can stay in the game for the first hour then bringing Tomlin on gives us a good chance of winning a game.
Problem with that is we don't play very attractive football and everyone gets on the managers back.
We need a bit of realism as fans and manage our expectations.
We need competition for places and some quality in depth but as we've seen, our owners aren't investing enough to get to that stage.
Until that happens I'm afraid we will be marking time.
