Earlier in this thread I said that my next door neighbour had given me an insight into his *ahem* 'browsing habits', read that post again.

Yeah thats the site I use too. Think your neighbour might be over selling it a bit though, still hard to find championship games unless they are on sky/football league show

2-0 and we have been rubbish. 

I never want to see Lafferty on the left wing again. Not scapegoating him, whole team disjointed, but he just looks so awkward out wide to me.

I just really really hope that Adams has a go at this game and reverts to two strikers at the break.

Starting to look a bit better now, if Cardiff sit this deep we'll score eventually

So what needs to change guys? Only found the stream in the last 15 mins. We look like we're chasing the game but limited to long range wild shots

I'm trying my hardest to be calm and rational here, but that was just a terrible half of football. All I'm asking of Adams right now is that he is bold and brave at half time. we need to come out with a plan B and give it a go.

We've got a lot of players to come back, some of our best players (Hooper, Howson),we've got a Belgian international to come into the team. There won't be any panic from me, but at this moment in time I am reflecting a little on our summer business. 

We sell three players who can play on the left side of midfield. Then we play Lafferty - a 6ft 5" striker - on the left wing. That part of the plan doesn't make sense to me, because we now look like we need a quality left winger.

Personally I'd bring Jerome and Murphy on, take Lafferty and Hoolahan off. 

Good old fashion 4-4-2, just get the ball down the flanks. We aren't going to be winning the possession game today. 

Lafferty and Hoolahan have both been ineffective, and are the two main culprits of the 'pot shots' that we seem to have resorted to.

How has Redmond been today? Id hope that Josh Murphy is pushing hard for his place. Id have started him over Redmond today to put some pressure on him

The end of that half was much better, but we've ultimately paid the price for 2 awful pieces of defending. The first goal came from a poor Michael Turner clearance, the ball was then given to Ralls who was allowed to walk through our defence effectively, and finish it off. After the first goal we actually improved, and started to control the game a bit more, and we had a great effort from Lafferty saved well from Marshall. But then when the ball was played out to the right hand side, no-one tracked Pilkington's run through our defence, the ball was played into him and he pulled it back for Gunnarson. A great finish but dreadful defending, and Olsson in particular to blame for not tracking Pilkington. Since then we've seen a lot of the ball, and put some good moves together, but haven't really threatened their goal. We're certainly not out of this though, one goal and we're right back in, we just need to take our chances if/when they come.
 
Lewis Grabban has been quite frankly terrible. There's been numerous times where we've got into a good position, and he hasn't been in the box. If that doesn't change I would take him off, and bring Josh Murphy on, and move Lafferty up front. Lafferty has looked good, been our main threat and was unlucky not to score. Hooiveld has also impressed me at the back. Hoolahan is also causing some problems for Cardiff. Redmond has been alright but hasn't really seen much of the ball.
 
Overall we haven't actually been that bad, but we started slowly, and defended abysmally on a couple of occasions which is why we're 2-0 down. If we're able to defend properly in the second half then there's no reason why we can't get back into this. That said though I don't think it'll happen.

I've got no commentary, who did he take off for Jerome? And was it just the one change?
