    Can it?

    Surely a Cardiff goal wouldn't be getting better.

    Valery and Targett having no protection isn't helping tbf. Need a formation change second half.

    Think Stephens should come on, he has been one of our better defenders this season IMO.

    We are narrow, as expected from the Ralph reports. Our full-backs are under pressure and lacking confidence, so it exacerbates the lack of width. JWP's guile would help work the ball through the middle.

    I am certain there will be a whole host of top clubs that are just itching to buy SFC´s star players.

    Think it's the width given away by the full-backs that is the problem a lot of the time..? Is it not the same when Cedric is in ?

    Like others, wonder whats up wth Bert..

    Football matches can completely change at HT, let's hope that Ralph motivates them and corrects any formation deficiencies.

    I think he might beat Charlie in a pie eating contest though.

    The commentator saying that Stephens is a CB, but he played as a RB in the Academy and i'm sure that he was the defensive versatility option on the bench.

    Targett could end up traumatised after this game, and he’s not even up against top players.

    Never seen him look so out of sorts.

    Change at RB. Seemingly a change to a diamond formation. And we've sounded so much better.
