Smithies,some good saves fair play.

Smithies without a doubt followed by Ojo

Tutu or Smithies for me. Went for Tutu

Tutu looks a little gem.

Keiffer Moore is a class above any of our forwards. The way he took the ball with multiple defenders was worth the money alone. Shame the manager is clueless

Jordi my man of the match but special mention for ojo who had his best game for us....morrison and Nelson solid and cunningham got much better as the game went on...Tomlin let us down today as I felt we could have nicked a win....

Without doubt Osei-Tutu was easily the best player in the pitch. I’d like to see Moore benched for the next game or play two different wingers because as I said at half time, we are creating absolutely nothing.

The 2 wingers for me are the problem. Service to the forwards isnt good enough. This has been a problem for ages

Osei-Tutu for me - superb performance. Special mention for Ojo.
The more games these 2 get under their belts, we will then see more consistency

TUTU by a mile. No idea what the 3 who voted for Moore we’re watching as he did hardly anything as we created almost nothing.

Other than Tutu, Hoilett our best player.

Keeper again

Went for Smithies from the parts of the game I saw (a couple of great saves) but reports suggest Tutu was a contender

Good battling display for a point against a decent top-half team (no more)

Keiffer Moore is a class above any of our forwards. The way he took the ball with multiple defenders was worth the money alone. Shame the manager is clueless

So how did he miss those headers ? Cos if that were Glatzel, you and a few others would be on it like a tramp on chips! If you deem one action worthy of the money alone,then let's hope he can score a few goals in the games coming up

I know there will be the usual"he needs the service" replies,but the same was happening before Moore was bought,a lack of service to the striker!! If it's good enough excuse for him not scoring,it's the same for the others.

We'll never know if Glatzel would have even got his head to it.
What I was impressed at was Moores ability to take the ball and hold off defender waiting for the non existent help to arrive.

Maybe Glatzel is not as bad as I think, I do believe there is a finisher there but not a championship back to goal striker.

One of the daft things about voting straight away was in my mind i thought Moore was really encouraging but i was in full rant about "what is our game plan?" when i was singing the praises to the hilt of Tutu who was undoubtedly our best outfield player on the pitch and again we are so lucky that Smithies did not push for a transfer when he was on the benched for a season.

ALEX SMITHIES


By Glen Williams


This could be a subheading in 90 percent of post-match talking points, but a word on Alex Smithies.

Having seen Jordan Pickford make yet another hash of a cross for Everton on Saturday, I cannot help but think Alex Smithies would be a top Premier League goalkeeper.

It beggars belief that the England No.1 is allowed to make mistakes on that regular a basis with seeming impunity, to be frank.

But it only serves to highlight what a gem Cardiff have in Smithies. Even in the torrential rain we saw up in Lancashire, Smithies was unflappable.

Rovers worked him from range with a number of testing efforts, but Smithies didn't so much as spill the ball. And when they needed him most, he came up trumps again.

When Adam Armstrong, arguably the league's hottest striker before Saturday, was bearing down on goal before half-time, there was an air of calm about Smithies.

The goalkeeper rushed out and smothered the chance, which was arguably one of the best of the game until Gallagher skied his effort from just five yards out with minutes to go.

"Sometimes there are key moments in games and you need key players to provide quality and Alex Smithies provided that today," Harris said after the match.

Another point in the bag and City owe a lot of that to Smithies.
