Why? Just interested. For me, it’s been brilliant. 

I'm not against it in any was but what i dont like is when entering the vans village the stewards ask to see my ticket so i have to get my phone out, unlock it, find the app and then show them. Then i get to the turnstyle i then have to take the phone of its case as it doesnt work otherwise 

For the first time in over 50 years of having a season ticket i am thinking about not renewing The owners do not show the same ambition as the fans and as soon as someone good comes along they sell them off.  We are currently playing young lads who would not get in any other championship team they are just used to make up the numbers. A lot of these lads on the bench are not championship quality yet and should be out on loan gaining experience Like Reid Semenyo Bryan Vyner Pring and many others did.   If the owners turn round and had a real go at it and said to Manning (if he's still here) "Here's £25M build us a promotion winning side"  and they also promise not to strip the assets from the club (if we have any left) then a lot of the fans would be onboard but at the moment we seem to be a rudderless ship

Ok, one of Mannings defeats was against Southampton 

Either allow the excuses for both or neither.

Yeah but im not talking about Manning i was talking about defeats under NP

Pretty sure Pearson lost five out of his last seven didn't he?

No it was 4 and 3 of those were against Leeds Ipswich and Leicester

The tactics and substitutions were baffling today Playing players out of position taking our better players off I just hope Manning is allowed to bring in 4 or 5 players of his own players in January so he can show us what he was brought in for, as at the moment he is no better manager than we already had .

I have one before every match they are lush... They also have a Xmas variety at the moment Turkey and Cranberry which are awesome

We cannot compete with the big boys in this division who have a lots of international players throughout their squads where we cannot even fill a bench these days (emarrassing)  Players like Bell arn't ready yet and ought to be out on loan gaining much needed experience as he is too weak and non existent in games, like last night.  If he wasnt a darling of the fans, a local boy and the son of a legend he would be getting the Cornick treatment. I know BT bangs on about these kids are good enough but they are not ready for Championship football yet. Most of our successful academy players went out on loan before being ready for our 1st team Semenyo,Vyner, Reid, Bryan, Pring (8 times) yes there are a couple of exceptions Kelly / Scott but we seeem to be chucking them in too early now as a cheap option hoping it'll work 

That just showed the gulf in class between the clubs with Parachute payments and the ones without. We matched them for parts of the 1st half but there class showed in the end. They can bring internationals on, where we struggle to even fill the bench (makes us look amateurish) We are desperate for reinforcements to strenghthen a weak squad NP tried to highlight this but wasnt listened and paid the price. Lets hope that Manning gets the message over to those above him and we can bring in 3 or 4 in Jan.

If we had a bigger squad i think players like Tanner and Bell would be out on loan. I agree with op about Bell i dont think he is strong enough yet he's too powder puff and gets knocked off the ball to easily i would add Weimann to that list of players he's been very poor so far this season I disagree about Pring i think hes having a solid season  

52 for me not including games in Scotland on pre season tour

I think we need two midfielders with some creativity who can score goals (Sammie Szmodics type) and a big mobile lump of a goal scoring striker who can hold the ball up and bring others in to play

Very harsh IMO. He, like many others, wasn't at his best, but Mehmeti looked like the only player in a red shirt who might have made something happen for the first 70 mins or so. Granted, the bar was set very low.

In general, we have an issue with quality out wide. None of our options (bar maybe Sykes) are particularly inspiring. Smyth and Willock looked much more dangerous than Sykes, Mehmeti, Bell, and Cornick have this season IMO.

Sorry you must have been watching a different game to me Mehmeti put over one good cross all game,  he stuggles to beat a man is easily knocked off the ball , sorry but he seems out of his depth in the championship.  Lets hope he does go to Oxford in Jan swap deal for Brannagan maybe

Dreadful game but what do we expect with this squad i hope lansdown allows LM to bring in 4 or 5 players in Jan but i doubt that very much

OMG this is Dire we need to get Mehmeti and Weimann off for Naismith and Garner-Hickman

Some have been out on loan & are playing for us at 21 level because they weren’t wanted.

Our Academy is a big success story but not everyone makes it & I can see a fair few of these doing so at Championship level.

Yes i agree the Academy is a great success but most of the players that have had the biggest success (apart from Scott and Kelly) went out on loan to learn their trade Reid, Bryan, Vyner, Pring, Semenyo before being given 1st team action

James’ debut last week is the only league start any of that 11 has had this season.

Stand by my post of a week or so ago that half of this side won’t be with us next year.

No they need to go out on loan to develope as they are clearly not championship quality as yet

To be honest these players would have been out on loan in previous years gaining experience but as our 1st team squad is so small now we have to keep them here for cover which i feel is a negative for their progress

The Cardiff commentator said I was expecting a tougher game seeing as most of these lads were in their 1st team recently :laugh:

Why don't they stream these any more ?

We stream the home matches if you want to watch it on  Cardiffs Utube channel

2-0 Down at half time and to be honest apart from Araoye and Francois none of these lads should be anywhere near the 1st team squad yet

Can we really compete at the top with this squad? Or do we need increased Manning levels?

Yes we defo need increased manning levels, we have a very small sqiad and have to rely on kids who should be out on loan to learn there trade Bell Yeboah included NP wanted to bring more players in but wasn't allowed due to the wages budget it'll be interesting to see if LM has the same restraints+

Sorry just got the joke :laugh: D'oh !!!
