TONIGHT MY VIEW : CARDIFF ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE A LEAGUE ONE

Very poor performance by most of the team tonight with the exception being Osho. I’d have hooked Willock ten minutes after he came on - not sure how Salech was supposed to get near any of his crosses

At least Willock crossed ball Tanner failed all night and couldn't even beat a player when he tried to... its not wonder salech fails most games given city players are like dracula hate crosses

Tanner delivered 8 crosses last night according to OPTA - one should have been a goal from Ashford and one late on was fizzed across the 6 yard box but no CF there to finish it. Tbh if we had escaped with a 2-2 draw it would have been the biggest smash'n'grab in history.

I don't deny Tanner had a poor game for him but he got more assists than any other player in L1 last year on a pro rata basis per game played. I think he was almost double the next best. Frustrating to watch at times yes but I think that's probably because he's always trying to make something happen, i.e. get past his man - who last night was the very impressive and diminutive Lamptey. If Ashford scores that 1st half header Tanner gets 2 assists. His vision for a pass is probably the best in the team. If he had the full package in his locker - he wouldn't be at Cardiff!

Agree with another poster, that Moylan, Salech and Rubin looked off the pace, all giving the ball away far too often. Moylan's only poor game thus far. One thing I did notice last night was the overlaps Moylan got from Scanlan and Ashford always giving him an option. Tanner gets less help from Ng and seems to be a bit more isolated, probably explains why he always has no option but to try and beat his man, prob with only something like a 50/50 success rate.

On the other wing if Bagan is playing left back he always gives an overlap outside. Ng comes inside every single time

Disappointed with the transfer window
We should have beaten Sheff Utd and Derby
When the centre backs are fit I can see Bielik playing in the no 6 roll

Good point. Might explain why Tanner gets a bit of flak - he has less options. Almost always takes the easy pass (to Rubin normally) when it's on

Tanner gets stick from the perfectionists.

I don't think he is very good and has peaked but i love him because he is a street footballer. He has not had the maverick kicked out of him by the academy/scholar system. He takes on his man, sometimes goes back for more and smacks one into an area, sometimes it comes off, sometimes it doesn't.

Ashford who also i love, is a modern system metronome; everything is by the numbers, no risks, no turnover or misplaced passes, always foot on the ball and pass inside, and rarely shoot prefering to pass it on.

He is who he is......

Im planning on getting my double hip replacement on both days we play the bin dippers up West
