Disappointing, but for the first time since Hughes first season I feel I'm watching a group of players who are trying hard but just not clicking yet. When we do click, we will create a lot of chances; my only problem is who will put them away. Only Vidigal has shown finishing ability. Agree. Horrible game on a horrible day.

Well I'll say it However is not very good,he may have scored a couple of goals but honestly he's not got it I tend to agree. About time Junior was given a real chance and a good run in the team.

Ciaran Clarke to step in for Rose soon? Rose isn’t the answer but 3 clean sheets, I’d keep it as it is. No thanks to Rose, the amount of times he gives the ball away near our box is criminal.

A very chewy watch today and little in the way of entertainment. Too many misplaced passes and that midfield needs to step up, the game could have been won, but you're not going to do it when your passing is so bad. Anyway unbeaten in 4, hopefully we can make it 5 next week.

I know but chopping and changing earlier in the season did us no favours and now we are 4 unbeaten with a settled back 2. McNally was a monster today, as was Pearson in front of them. It was a shit game in terms of quality but a good battle.

Don't honestly think Vidigal as shown that since his comeback after injury infact some of his attempts on goal have been pathetic

Burger for me I do like but does anyone notice he misses a lot of tackles? Or is it just me lol 😂

It means he’s not quite ready for the step up yet and I think we need him for any sort of promotion push. I think there’s a great player there and I think he’s getting a better understanding with Pearson.

This was the game in which people were questioning if we had turned a corner. For me the answer is no.
Thought that we had very good chances first half, Gayle consistently gets himself into good position's but once in then fails to finish.
2nd half, I mean if I were a Cardiff supporter I would be travelling home gutted without the 3 points.
We were penned in 2nd half with no out ball whatsoever… we had numerous counter attacks in which we slowed the play down & went back.
Overall, we weren’t at the races today & I'm just glad that we took a point from it.
Oh and Bowler is class, I fail to understand why we never go in for a player like himself… skimmed 2 or 3 of our players on numerous occasions & should have made more of it.

I don’t quite buy the bad day stuff , they are decent , very strong and physically challenging with a dangerous player in bowler , it’s a game we lose last year or earlier this season amd while we firing hit any heights we didn’t lose kept a clean sheet and move on .

Some of you Doubters, calling others fickle, A bit quiet about Bonham's performance with two goal bound saves of excellent quality - a point when a team not at its best is a good result - you cant be on top in every game - we've been in situations previously where we have been well on top all game and come away with nothing or a draw. So take the rough with the smooth.FICKLE ha ha

Thought Bowler was superb for them. Skillful, quick with his feet and brain. End product not always there but looks to be up there with the best players in this league.

Didn't realise until after the match that their late sub, no.6 Ryan Wintle and who nearly scored at the end, used to play for Alsager Town back in 2015 before being sold onto Crewe.

Was worried about this one for the very reason of how it played out. To me it looked like two sides organized to nullify the other as opposed to just an "off" day by us. That makes a game "ugly" to some, I get it, but Cardiff has gotten results playing like that. Nice job Mr. Bonham. We'd have found a way to lose a match like that 10 out of 10 times previously.
Now I want to see how we play against teams we "should" beat. Quicker we get to 50 points the better. Credit where it's due, there went Bowler yet again, making a nuisance of himself - a constant Championship-level threat.

Cardiff are the best side we've played at home in my opinion. Playing Gayle from the start was idiotic A point will do

Thought Bowler was quality and the lad they brought on to replace him Colwill was brilliant as well. Massive with unreal feet and ability. They got the balance of championship braun and skill just right. We needed a proper 9 to knick a goal and defend as we did. In time this will be a good point. For me they are absolutely nailed on play-offs
