    Would have been annoying if they'd scored from that corner after hacking Oviedo down.

    Just switched the tv on and I'm now totally confused.

    The team in red look very comfortable on the ball.

    Anyone any idea who they are?

    Did you see Wilson. His pass was intercepted in midfield, then he sprinted back and knocked the interceptor on his arse !

    Browning looks half decent going forward.

    Fairly even first half, but we've got to cut out the silly free kicks around our 18 yard box otherwise Cardiff will make us pay.

    That team is okay, but I would rather have started with Asoro, maybe instead of Gooch. I'm still not that comfortable with ding dong, though - we could have had Catts in.

    Not at all but we do look like a solid championship side on that showing. The extra physicality in midfield is making a difference, like we've all been saying for years.

    Ruiter looks like he's going to be fine now he's settled in, thank god.

    Bad passing again in the final 3rd nearly every time how is that possible ?, come on Chris what the hell is the matter tell at least one player to pass to a sunderland player. That is so woeful and embarrasing. We need to win games like this.

    On a Cardiff corner or free kick, a large Cardiff player was attempting to block off and harass Ruiter. Billy Jones basically hugs the guy as the ball approaches, and Ruiter easily takes the ball out off the air.
    Billy Jones also very involved in the attack. He is one of our very few 'Championship' sized players.

    Yeah Wilson is looking fine.
    Ruiter made a few good saves to keep us in it.
    I think we had 2 shots - both well off target

    I know that you guys like Honeyman, but honestly and sincerely, there is no way that he would even get a college scholarship in the U.S., let alone play in the MLS.

    Almost got beat on that free kick at the far post. The players in our wall are just too short!

    He can play better - he's given the ball away far too easily today.

    We look comfortable but so toothless up front. I hope I’m wrong but looks like just seeing if we can hold on for a point as the Cardiff pressure builds.....again hope I’m wrong
