Struggled against the low block in the first half. Cardiff very good at hitting on the counter. Did it twice against Leeds on the opening day and Ramsey is different class. But I thought we kept plugging a way well even if the final ball wasn't there. Tactical tweaks helped get Broadhead on the ball more and what a strike for that first goal! Then Bulut bizarrely went to a back 5 which allowed our 10s into the game even more with Chappers having been marked out of it for the first 60. And then the subs really tipped it in our favour. Williams and Hutchinson are getting better with every game and Freddie sure knows where the net is!

Clarke was having a nightmare down the right and that's where the main problem was. The speed and physicality of the championship is definitely causing us problems especially at the back. It's very difficult for a goalkeeper when youve got a shaky defence in front of you but Hladky was man of the match today. I would bring in Williams for Clarke who looks off the championship pace for me. Then get a centre in to play alongside Wolfenden.

Im writing this having read the comments below and already having seen the scores. I though Hladky did brilliantly today. We are having to learn really quickly at the moment and KM is making adjustments that work.

The other thing ive noticed this season is that the standard of referees is way better in this division, and im sorry to see 5.9 for an official I thought got everything right. He let the game flow well, all the cards were correct and if people actually think that was a penalty second half for the mid air challenge on Broadhead well i'm sorry he looked 4 yards from ever getting to the ball.

The passion and endeavour is excellent, we will need another LCB and sadly another Morsy at some stage because his workrate and age point to him needing to rest a bit more, but we did what had today was quality off the bench, the pass from Williams to Omari for the third goal was excellent, Jack Taylor looks hungry and fresh and I can't wait to see Scarlett in due course.

We are a work in progress at this level, Freddie will always be a finisher although leading the line as a starter still feels like a mismatch but he did well today.

Enjoy the rest lads, 12 from 15 is punching above our weight you did us proud

Clarke is carrying an injury, JD is out injured and Williams is getting up to speed

Clarke deserves praise not criticism

First half was painful to watch as the struggle wasnt mqaking any inroads into Cardiff. Tactical changes htroughout the match showed the skill and understanding of our top coach. We certainly rode our luck at times. Dont know what Clarkey and Woolfenden were messing up but thew discussion certainly sorted the problem with dialogue. Another week of excitement and commitment but this turned up trumps and nobody left early. Lots of time wasting from Cardiff to slow the game down. Too hot for them in the end?
