MY VIEW: TODAY CARDIFF HAD THEIR CHANCE TO BEAT A DEPLETED B

I don’t get this depleted Bristol,most of their injuries have been out for months,you could say a depleted Cardiff side won the game with ease,consider we got 5 players out injured,could say 6 with how long smithies was in the field,injuries happen for all clubs

Bang on the money

I feel the depleted Bristol City rhetoric is being a bit overplayed.
Yes - they have many injuries but even their own fans think the manager is using it as too much of an excuse.
Many of the injury list provided are not regulars for Bristol City and even with a fit Chris Martin you could argue he would not have played instead of Deidhou.

I feel we have played a decent Bristol City side today and arguably we have as many 'real' first team injuries as them.

Totally agree. Bristol had a very strong team out there today. The only area perhaps they were seriously depleted was left back. They put Mariappa there, who's not a bad player. It was a good win. Our keeper had just one shot to save and we could have scored at least 2 more with some good chances created.

I thought they had a very depleted side but looking closer at them your right where they only exposed themselves down the left.
