The positives... that's the best Cardiff performance I have see in a very long time,in fact if we had a better standard of referee we could have had 3 points... now the negatives.... Our defensive frailties was on show once again, Mason was once again ineffective, and Whittingham is a luxury we simply can't afford, but overall well done City, well done Slade

For once we agree :ayatollah: i usually defend whitts but found him ineffective today. Mason i said last week and this week is not the answer. Tuesday should be kenwyn Jones and ameobi :ayatollah:

Definitely a striker short.

I like mason - not sure if a partnership with Jones would work.
Revell works hard, ameobi doesn't

For me Amoebi has shown nothing to warrant coming on instead of Doyle who is a natural finisher. Mason just doesn't have the pace to be a top striker and Revell is hard working but limited. For me it should be Doyle & Kenwynne or Macheda to start.

I'm struggling to see what u see in ameobi. Looks shite to me, and has done when I've seen him in the past.

Agree with the change up front though. Maybe Jones and Doyle. Think he deserves a run, better movement than Mason and knows where the net is. Think he just needs a confidence boist

Good team performance. Don't think we'll get enough goals from up front though for us to get top 6.

I can see that. I would like to try Jones with ameobi playing off him just to see how size and pace combo
