    One player who really did disappoint yesterday was Tommy Smith
    For some reason he just never seemed to get in the game at all
    I'm sure Warnock will start with him tomorrow
    Does anyone think he should be on the bench

    Also it was an unusual choice of sub to take off Connolly
    I felt he should of cleared the cross when Bellemy scored
    Will Warnock start with one-size, I have a feeling that he will

    To be fair I don't think Helguson was a great deal better. The defence looked decidedly dodgy , 1st half especially, but Cardiff probably have the best strike force in the division, so no great surprise.

    It was probably just nerves and pessue from all the players, knowing they are so close to the premiersip. It will be up to us fans to get behind the team on Monday and be the twelfth man

    Tommy never got into the game and Connolly looked nervous. I think I'd rather see fitz start anyway. I wish we would play the simple ball more often. We give to much possession away through trying to be too elaborate. Simple stuff, play the way you're facing, wait for the opening. Having said all that, it was never gonna be easy yesterday and not many teams, even prem, would have twice pulled back a deficit in that arena.

    They done us proud

    No complaints from me about the result yesterday. I'd have taken a draw before the start. The last half an hour we were by far the better side. So a fair result for me.

    I think it was more a case of Paul Quinn having a very solid game. Smith's a class act and I think he'll be able to do a job next year.

    I couldnt agree more about the comments about Tommy, he looked off the pace and not his normal self. I half expected Buz to come out in his place at half time. Hopefully he will be up for it tomorrow as we need that win soooo bad! I dont want to go back to work until we are promoted :)

    Cardiff completely steam-rollered Smith whenever he got possession and I don't think he is used to that. I think Warnock will show faith in him because he has the intelligence to create chances.

    Connolly is a bag of nerves right now and for him, the sooner we get to close seasn the better. I'd like to see One Size start

    I know Smithy's a bit of a wing man but I want to see him coming through the channels a bit more with a chance of getting a shot in. He's one of the few that's got one. Cardiff had him all closed down yesterday, that's all.
