    OMG that was just painful and depressing.<doh>

    Nothing has changed.

    No goals in last 3 games inc Bournemouth.

    Noone & Gunnarsson were appalling in particular.

    Moore flapped at a not particularly difficult shot to save.

    All the preseason optimism is whittling away.

    Only good thing is that we don't have to suffer an away game at Scunthorpe. (How come Rovers now play Chelsea?<confused>)

    If Cardiff won as they were seeded they would have visited Scunthorpe United, with Bristol City going to Chelsea. A Bristol Rovers win, as they are unseeded will see them away to Chelsea, with Bristol City away to Scunthorpe.

    Deja Vu. That was a Slade performance down to a tee, absolute rubbish against enthusiastic if not brilliant opposition that deserved the win

    We were so slow all over pitch it was painful to watch. No pace about the side whatsover - how many times have we got to say that.

    If we can get anything near the £2M mark for Gunnar then snatch their hands off, and we could throw in Noone as a makeweight - they were both appalling.

    Apart from the back 3 who did pretty well, only Ralls and Declan came out of that game with any real credit. When Pilks came on at least he had a go but probably got so frustrated he tried to do it all himself.

    If we play like that against QPR on Sunday we'll get slaughtered.

    Does Trollope know we need a reliable striker. Gonzo couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo.

    Pedestrian, sluggish, predictable, indirect.....all Slade attributes. His spectre still haunts City.

    Dreading Sunday now.....

    Well done Bristol Rovers. Thoroughly deserved.

    I really hope we sign a bloody proven goalscorer anytime before Sunday!! If not, QPR will play us off the park.

    My son lambasted me for constantly using the word Wretched during this game. Well in a nutshell, Cardiff were Wretched.

    What a disgrace that was.

    Assuming the team were playing to instruction, how long will Trollope survive.
    We could be right in the mire by Christmas.

    I've seen a report that we are 'looking after' the ball better. That's easy in our own half with a five man defence. We couldn't play one killer forward pass all night. They also said there's no need to push the panic button. Well somebody needs to push something very soon.

    Noone was a complete waste of space and if Manga is our best defender we really are in trouble.

    Same as last season. No quality on the ball. No threat in the final third. No striker worthy of the name. How the hell did Zohore play in the Champions League.
