You cant fault the team today, they never looked tired, battled and gave there all. They passed the ball about and we finished the stronger team.
Not sure why only Mason upfront on his own again, also when Miller came on you can see he might not be scoring, but he is quality with the ball when he gets it.
I feel a bit more positive today and we are def in there with a chance of a play-off place if we play like today, but attack more at home games.

The problem is picking players in the wrong position within that framework.
Conway MUST start on the left.
All Dave Jones did was play 442, and that is why we aren't in the Premiership right now.

I was a lot happier today, still couldnt understand why we had 3 strikers on the bench but still battled hard. Thank god for Marshall & Hudson for keeping us in the game, we miss the likes of Burke. Nice to have met you briefly Annis

Yes Richard about time we met up, good to meet you. We need to attack more and not play one player upfront, just my opinion.

Steve, to be fair, we used a lot of width today it was just that Mason was upfront on his own and it was very hard for him. I would've loved to have seen Mason and Miller upfront in a 4-4-2 to be honest but taking nothing away from the lads it was a solid performance from everyone, great penalty save from Marshall and a great goal by Hudson, in open play and an even better assist from Whitts for the goal. Conway wasn't even on the bench, we had 3 strikers and Darcey. As usual, our away support was amazing, never stopped singing and urging the team on, oh how I love away days with the City, especially on the forum bus I feel more positive about the run in to the end of the season and I strongly believe we will occupy one of the 4 playoff places come the last game and I feel we will be a hard nut to crack. Great performance today Bluebirds, lets keep that up to the end of the season

We deserved to win and as usual all the supporters give the boys plenty of support
The only time the brummy supporters were heard was when they scored to go an undeserved 1-0 up
Please everybody that didnt see the game today please all turn for our next home game as we had the old Cardiff City back today
If we play like this the rest of the season we will get to the play -offs

Were lacking up front big time as we play home/away with one striker up front
I have see you play a lot better in the past.
Going to be tough for both of us.

i would have thought he,d get a big man in to hold it up for the system you play.rudy isn,t ready/good enough yet.that mcphail was tidy.whitts on the left.found room and flitted in and out.cowie back in the team .i was quite impressed with the setup.nothing flashy but organised .you could very easily get back to those pre xmas 1.0 or 2.1 wins.over two legs you,ll be hard to beat .i will say that you will not get a tanning of anyone like you did off reading.different mentality.don,t forget malky found a way to make the cup final go to pens.he will think nothing of getting a plan for a one off game.in your shoes i,d be happy and starting to think maybe its possible.when all said and done with all the supposed big names you had last season you didn,t get any farther than were i think you,ll get this season.play offs.going to be some twists and turns before the finish line.if we get our missing players back im confident we,ll be there too.hard to imagine we battered bro a week ago
