With all due respect that is a load of rubbish.

You clearly weren't watching. They were deliberately targeting us all game. And the ref did **** all about it. Grealish was taken out 2/3 times off the ball and nothing given.

That has nothing to do with it being a 'tough league' and is just BLATANT cheating.

But we knew that was going to happen based on the game at VP. Bruce did not set up the side to deal with it.

This squad needs more than tinkering with.

we have been relying on individual players to bail us out, for too long.

its always the same players that are doing it.

westwood & Gardner are no longer debatable.....it should be clear to all and sundry.

unless we are happy to stay where we are.

I've always despised Cardiff, ever since the 80's and 90's when their stupid inbred hooligan fans used to knock heads with Small Heath and Millwall, and kept showing up in lists of Combat 18 members. Now I've got another reason to despise their vile, rancid football club. 

Westwood and Gardner can't start together, and we need at least one central midfielder, and preferably two, like a man stranded in the desert needs a drink.

Need new players in desperately.  Glad we have the cup next week (a write off) so we have two weeks to get shopping.

Well **** it then. No point in playing within the rules because you can just cheat and refs aren't strong enough to deal with it.

I expect us to kick Spurs all game and we won't be punished.

Will we ****.

It's the refs responsibility to stop thugs kicking us all game. If the ref is weak then they will carry on with it. That has **** all to do with us being weak.

Regardless  of bad referees and what ever else might be a distraction , to the fact that we are absolutely " kryptonite " .

The BBC Sport EFL updates seem to hate us, haven't seen any full time notification or anything

The point was to construct a balanced squad and the failure there was woeful.

How do you know that was RDMs point?

Just the pick me up I needed on the eve before my return to work after nearly 2 weeks of Christmas holidays.  Thanks Villa. 

[Demitri_C]

Had to put poor from Bruce today starting bunn and Westwood.

tishbola did more in 5 mins than those two clowns gardwood. Useless clowns

[pacbuddies]

While our rivals pull away (and actually manage to score goals) we lose our top striker to ACON and sell another to a PL team and have to rely on useless lumps like Gabby to come on as sub to achieve a result. Cardiff are no great shakes and not being able to at least look capable of winning is a disgrace. Roll on another season in the fizzy pop league.

Poor jack.

Confirmation that, as it stands, we are not a football team capable of promotion this season so far as i see it.

What a ridiculous comment.

Surely you should be standing up for your own player who was targeted both on and off the ball and fouled 10-15 times rather than than making sarcastic comments.

1) A complete joke of a referee (again) who couldn't spot the continued attacks on and OFF the ball on Grealish in particular.  

2) We need reinforcements (and fast)

3) I want Cardiff to be relegated. 

Same. I will be looking out for their results, and not in a good way.

we should literally put out the kids absolute waste of a game, we couldn't beat an egg

[One For The Road]

Ross McCormack is a serious waste of space.

We knew what to expect and we knew Cardiff was going to have a big crowd behind them putting pressure on the ref and our players. It's always a tough game against a warnock side. No good blaming anyone apart from ourselves.

Whoever thought we were was always going to be wrong.
