Cardiff have no sub keeper on the bench you know what to do lads a few accidentally jumps and land onto the keeper early on.

Also Cardiff fans say the have no pace on the pitch sounds like we need to run at them draw them into fouls and get some early bookings for their back 4

Not really, he’s just recovering from injury.   No point risking him if he’s not quite ready, especially being a loanee.

Mate at the game says the goal looked offside and west side Lino not got a clue.

That Lino is the worst I’ve ever seen I think. I’m sure he’s missed at least four OS calls including the one that led to their goal. I’m in the South so happy to be corrected but the racket coming out of the West directed at him seems like I’m right.

We’re doing okay I think considering the gulf in budgets and position. They look sharp going forward though we need to be careful.

Goal was very tight but he's right about that lino. Utterly clueless!

Give credit for that run to goal but inexcusable to give him an open route through the middle unchallenged.Even Bailey stepped aside to allow him a shot on goal.

What shocking defending but unbelievable run.

Post by: bpoolrover on February 28, 2026, 04:10:47 pm
He ran from 5 yards outside his own box, to soft from jay and Hamlon and the midfield was non existent

The lack of any midfield is killing us. Such a poor goal to concede, no challenge, no pressure. That was not a great goal, he ran in a straight line unchallenged.

He did say that there were 4 or 5 calls he missed.

I said a few days ago that today’s result doesn’t matter.  We still have 13 more games for a decent end to the season.

Bailey was marking a man,but Byrne was the one who ran out wide from the space that was then created allowing Lawlor to carry on unchallenged ,running past Bailey in the process too.

Certainly the initial pass was offside and the west lino was bloody awful missed 5/6 offsides at least

Well, the best I was hoping for was a draw, at half time that was on, then 2 mins into the second half we allow their player to run from their 18 yard box and score without anyone of our players trying to put in a tackle. After that it was never in doubt. You can see why they are where they are and why we are where we are.

Anyway on to Tuesday night


Onwards and upwards
