    I think they both offer something different. Mayenda is definitely stronger and holds the ball up better.
    Isidor is quicker and is more technically gifted, scoring some cracking goals this season.

    Thought the Rigg sub was **** too like. Soon as it happened it was all Cardiff and we sat back. Why not play Mayenda wide and get Wilson through the middle ?

    ****! Brilliant from Jobe and Mayenda but he's rushed it. Just needed to steady himself before shooting.

    Unlucky from Mayenda after a good ball from jobe. Should have had this wrapped up already really, sickening that it’s 1-1.

    That’s the sub I’d have made.

    Every week now, it's alright making all these shot stoppers but you have to do the basics and he's not been doing it.

    I think all Cardiff is a bit ott, game fizzled out for sure but we were comfortable. Taking Mayenda away from cf wouldn’t have made sense in my opinion he’s arguably been the best player on the pitch through there.

    Thought we started excellently. They couldn't get out of their half and we were causing them problems constantly. As soon as Roberts had to go off we've offered very little, especially down the right side.

    I've held off on this but I think it's time for Patterson to come out of the team. How many goals have his mistakes cost us recently? An outfielder making that many mistakes would be dropped. Needs some time out of the spotlight.

    Would make a sub at HT. Browne off, Rigg inside, Isidor or Watson on. If it's Isidor then shift Mayenda wide. Rigg out wide doesn't work, he hasn't been good enough recently in his normal position let alone out of position.

    He's gone backwards this year or he hasn't gone forward as the team has. Needs replacing next season

    Wonder what the people shouting for Roberts to be dropped are thinking now.

    Mayenda will be better than Isidor undoubtedly. I’d put my mortgage on that. Easy to forget the boy is only 19.

    It wasn't 'all Cardiff' and we didn't sit back ...

    ... that was their only attempt on goal.

    That goal had nothing to do with Rigg coming on.

    Why? He’s still ****e one assist doesn’t change that. 2 goals in about 60 games of second tier football for someone playing in a front 3 is pathetic.

    Lots of zip and zap initially

    then revert to type with too much possession recycling and not cutting edge to drive forward

    poveda signing looking class, we’ve got one fit right winger ffs

    Responsible for every goal we’ve conceded after the Leeds 1st one.

    Rigg being worse than Roberts isn't exactly a good barometer. Compare Roberts to the best right wingers in the league and he's nowhere near. He started well today though.

    Team looks somewhat unbalanced since he had to go off.
    In my opinion of course.

    Think it was the wrong choice bringing rigg on for Roberts, should've had Watson come on and continue to attack them. We lost the initiative on that right hand side and it needs to be solved 2nd half. I would also take patto off for 2 and half and let Moore get some mins before he gets the nod against his old team
