I had a disagreement with a bloke after Derby away who said he was our worst player...

Well he had no impact at all in the first half at Derby.

Edit: ignore this. I was trying to be funny thinking he didn’t play first half... that was at St Mary’s.

What a plonker I am!

Obviously you're a plonker, mate. That's taken as read, but I'd love to have had that conversation with the bloke originally described. People around me at Derby agreed that Nathan was the only bright spot in an otherwise tedious performance.

On the subject of the minutes silence, I feel vaguely guilty in saying it's being milked. But it is. However, it is "the modern way". We all have to have our emotions wrung out in public or we are accused of not caring. Do I think it tragic that a young man lost his life in an accident? Of course, and as a parent I feel for his family. But I do object to being told how I should feel about it.
 
Standing by my 3-0 prediction. First time ive felt this confident since Koeman days.


I can't share that level of confidence, simply because we've got nowhere near the quality in this squad that Koeman had to work with.

I can't see us losing. But I can see us dominating and struggling to score.

I didnt mean we are as good as we were back then. But the form we are in, the growing confidence and weak opposition do give me confidence.

Ralph really has got us to being greater than the sum of our parts.

I don’t want to sound hard-hearted or anything, but wasn’t there a minutes silence last week for Sala? I know they’ve now found the body (RIP - terrible tragedy) but isn't it time to move on now? I feel this gives the Cardiff players an extra boost to play better and gets into the heads of our players. I swear that’s why they managed to beat Bournemouth.
Maybe I’m just too much of a saints fan, but how many Cardiff players actually met or spoke to him? He never actually played for the club, so I think it’s being milked a bit too much.
There was another person lost RIP the pilot to.
