Agreed

Blackburn had 4 clear chances with 1 on 1 with smithies , defend like this in the second half and we will lose.

Ojo improved today

Much improved Annis. Hoilett also looking better too. Tutu excellent

Fair play Ojo hasn’t been as bad today. Overall a nothing half from both teams, I don’t think the weather is helping. Very scrappy and lots of mistakes and misplaced passes by us. Thankfully they haven’t capitalised on our mistakes. My biggest gripe about this season is I don’t know what our attacking style is. Moore has been anonymous in all his game so far. Yes he scored the two goals against forest, but in open play there’s just nothing happening. Even if we pump it long for him to flick it on we’ve got nobody running off him. I just want to see some sort of identity in attack.

Individual errors again for those chances. I think we are playing reasonably well though. Certainly more efforts on goal. Give credit where its due, Ojo is playing better too.

Ojo is totally on the wrong side.

He has little confidence to go outside and that also affects tackling. He may even be a 10 but not a right winger. Junior prefers being inverted as he doesn't want to go outside especially nowadays.

Wouldn't mind seeing him swap with Junior for 30 mins.

I 100% agree !

Tomlin dropping deep and isn't likely to run onto a flick on. Both wide boys want to cut back onto their natural foot.

Pack isn't a deep lying midfielder play maker he sees it but doesn't have the technical ability to execute. His attempted tackle with their break was Laurel and Hardyesq.

Come on City

We need to give Moore the ball, get it to him, service dreadful.

Pack drills his corner to Tomlin but he scuffs his shot on goal!

Free kick for Cardiff

Morrison headed straight at goalie

Moore nearly headed, misjudged it

Two headers from Kieffer Moore.

Excellent work from Hoilett as he fashions a chance to lift a ball to the back post, but Moore's connection is too light.

Then Bacuna sends one in from the opposite side and Moore can only head wide. A few calls for a penalty after some tugging on the shirt.

Tomlin playing more upfront

AWFUL CONDITIONS

City break through Pack and then Bacuna, who runs up the middle of the pitch and whacks one from range, but it's deflected for a corner.

But the corner is cleared comfortably.
