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
