Luzon will be sacked by Christmas, Henderson will come back into the team, the injuries will ease and it'll be back to mediocrity.

All the same problems as before. No creativity in the midfield and no-one up front to serve as a target man. I lost count of how often Sarr or Fox had the ball, only to have to play it backwards for lack of options.

Sarr himself was a mixed bag; some very hairy moments as well as some more confident ones. He struggled against both Jones and Ameobi, as will a lot of other defenders. Our only other defender on the bench was Lennon, and that is cause for concern, particularly given Diarra's age.

Ahearne-Grant was probably the only big positive from today; he took his goal well and looked a lot more of a threat than Bergdich did. Watt and JBG were quiet and McAleny's only contribution was to blaze a half-volley way over the bar. Moussa returned but played too deep to affect anything.

We badly need Makienok back. That, though, will not solve this team's problems alone. Perhaps the most galling thing was the lack of pressure on Cardiff to try and find an equaliser - such tame acceptance of defeat betrays a losing mentality. We've seen it before, and it is very hard to break.

Over to you Guy

Read a few comments from those who were there, sounds like another poor performance with the biggest criticism the complete lack of fight in the last 20 min when we went behind.

Solly is not captain material.

I thought JBG was "class".....yet another game in the Championship passes him buy.

To use the analogy, replacing the Head Coach again is a bit like replacing the air freshener in a car with a buckled chassis and no wheels. The structural problems run deep and after three terrible transfer windows, there is still no sign that these Belgium Bums get it.
 
Also, what's the point in loaning the Everton lad if we don't start him?

Because he looks about 16 years old & was another poor loan signing <cheers>

A common theme from those who were at Cardiff yesterday was that the team lacked spirit and fight. Good to hear that our travelling fans gave them a two fingered send off at the end. I am sick of seeing social media tarts like Bauer and JBG talking it up on social media during the week, then issuing glib apologies after each game. Do your talking in a pair of plain black boots on the pitch.

Luzon should never have got this job in the first place. He was totally ill equipped and under qualified ( his English is terrible) . If I were him, I would start brushing up on his suitcase packing skills.

There has to be a limit to the number of times Roland can rotate his managers. If Luzon gets replaced by another of Roland's pool of managerial talent it'll just be a case of "Here we go again". It will also provide some amusement for Palace fans. And there won't be any new manager bounce, because the players will straight away be wondering "I wonder how long he'll last?". If Roland presses the panic button and replaces Luzon with another stooge it could be the beginning of the end of Roland's experiment.
