I agree on everything there

Really good performance unluckly hit post 3 times!! Yes 2 points dropped but Does this performance show the way forward.?

Salech needs a goal so badly looks like he has no confidence in himself

Played pretty well but its 2 points dropped
The defence scares the shit out of me

Tanner isn't championship level either

What a performance that was!! Hit the post three times, Salech missed an absolute sitter and Tanner missed a sitter in the first half. There can be no complaints if we win that game 4-1.

I hope our players take two things from tonight:

1. We are a very good team — easily Championship level on our day.

2. Take that same level of determination into the next game, go again and absolutely smash into Bolton with the same intensity.

Our luck will change if we keep doing the right things, and there were so many positives to take from that performance.

That’s two teams now, Sheffield United and Stoke, who we’ve absolutely battered in pretty much every area apart from the one that matters most — putting the ball in the net.

J Colwill MOM. A monster performance from him!!

We thoroughly deserved to win that hit the woodwork 3 times dominated

But really encouraged by them and joe colwill I wanted from the off scored and hit the post osho and beilek both played well but stoke hardly entered our half

After the previous 2 I was silently concerned, but after that it’s calmed it somewhat.

We need a break, something to just go our way, we’re going to batter someone if we keep playing like that

How we didn't win that. Amazing. Although salech could stand still every game and still be picked but should of scored also. We are going to smash somebody soon but also a better team could hammer us as the back line is our weakness in middle of the park Vs better teams who break quick.

Put down your beer, him & Joel were our best players by far.

Much better performance, unbelievable we didnt get the win.

Thought we played brilliant and the players gave it everything tonight, we just can’t get that win. Shame we don’t have a board to back BBM, as I think we would do alright.

Just imagine if We had properly Strengthened we would be right up there

Salech needs a goal so badly looks like he has no confidence in himself

At least he kept trying scuffed best chance but then next chance goalie makes really good save to deny him... he did lead line well despite what people think and his running helped for the goal... just needs that goal!

The snake Dalman must be around somewhere. He must be visiting his pal.

Excellent performance lovely football one mistake and salech just had no conviction didn't pit himself about if he was up for it its 3 points tonight but very encouraging enjoyable to watch and the new centre half i thought was very good .
Its great football but 2 points lost really .
Im not moaning if we keep that up we be fine over 70 % possession aswell tonight.

Tanner isn't championship level either

Beer?? There we are then Tanner will rip this league apart this year.

Excellent performance tonight, just that 1 silly mistake and a lack of conviction in front of goal is costing us. How Tanner and Salech didn't get on the scoresheet I'll never know - actually thought Tanner gave their fullback and wide player a torrid time tonight, just really lacks that bit of composure when it's needed.

Proud of them all tonight. Just worry that we are gonna struggle to get a series of wins under our belt (not that we won't deserve them) so will spend a lot of time down in the doldrums.

Quite criminal we only got the point tonight.

Tanner isn't championship level either

Premier League? Literally everything went through him in the first half. Best performance of the season and probably MoM tonight

Tanner was much better tonight had the full back in his pocket all game also we look miles better with Joel colwill in the middle his energy is incredible

Players need to have more confidence to act quickly once they’re in the opposition box. The seconds wasted thinking what to do were infuriating

How was Tanner at fault for their goal???

Cardiff applauded off the pitch

Stole without an away win since January

A great second half performance and those who attended (particularly in the Canton Stand) got right behind the team!

Really good performance unluckly hit post 3 times!! Yes 2 points dropped but Does this performance show the way forward.?

I agree with most what you’ve said Allan,

But without Strengthening I stand by that we will struggle and don’t forget Stoke lost 8 away in a row and not won away since January
