There’s a similarity about both teams which causes this.
Our Achilles heel at home is that when a team sits back, we sort of huff and puff and aren’t comfortable on the front foot.
Then we commit more and more men to break the deadlock and boom 0-1.

Cardiff reminded me a bit of that yesterday.
They had the tried and tested tactic of high balls from long throws, crosses in etc - when it became clear Kalas, Patterson and Baker (all 6 footers themselves) were dropping back and heading them out, Cardiff didn’t change it.
They just seemed to try it more.

It was crying out for a head screwed on Tomlin or even someone like a Mendez-Laing from Cardiff days of past.
I can’t help but think the Cardiff City of Dave Jones would have beaten us about 3-0 yesterday.

So given the above I fully expect either a draw or away win in Bristol.
From your earlier post, Giles is sadly not one that’s come through the ranks. On loan from Wolves.

We’re a bit easier to watch than we were under Warnock… (many on here share your views on him), but it’s still pretty awful stuff to watch

I think you’re right about Dave Jones too
