Good game. Making lots of chances . 11 to their 3. Just need it to go in. As time goes on it will get more nervy so a goal not long after half time would be handy. Some good performances today. Heggem and styles have slotted in well after the very early change.

Diangana very poor again, why is he in the team? Another poor referee.

Only able to listen to the match on Albion TV and AJ yet again pointing out that in an open game like this we are still far too sluggish getting players forward enough.

Racic seems to have greatly improved since his early games and Sykes looks like he could turn out ok but Diangana again too lightweight. Despite some good work in the first half, it hasn't worked for Johnston so can see why Fellows is now on but why not a double change with Grant on for Mikey and Fellows replacing Diangana?

Time running out, doubtless we will see Wallace on next though personally I'd rather see Cole given a chance.

Sykes?? Styles!

Anyhow, how many corners can we get in one game without converting ffs?

When are we going to score another goal at the Hawthorns?

Enjoyed the game. Struggling to score atm, but its a long season and the first quarter has been ok, could have been better for sure but were not losing matches which is something. Got a few injuries in centre back positions but we adapted well. Ajayi didn't have a good game anyway but I like Heggem as a centre back. Styles looks a tidy passer and could be good at left back. Cole not coming on for Maja shows how much Corberan rates Maja over Cole. Great cross from Furlong at the end and Maja came close. This is a great league.

Cardiff very poor away from home. Points dropped again at home. Six games win less. I think that is the longest without a win under CC.
We need a goalscorer asap.

Utter tripe yet again, every game is a continuation of the last one, slow, static, lacking of ideas, Ajayi and Diangana were appalling, I wonder if Mr Patel is getting itchy

Very difficult from only listening to radio commentary rather than being able to watch for myself, but first half we did seem to be "at it" far more and created plenty of chances but were just unable to convert.

Second half seemed more of a concern where we lacked our earlier spark and created far less and reverted to type. True, the game sounded less open than in the first 45 with Cardiff sitting back more but we struggled to unlock them. AJ continually making the point that we were again too ponderous with no one making runs to try and get in behind for example. Wonder if those who managed to either go to the game or stream it agree with him?

I doubt Mr Patel is getting the slightest bit itchy Bomber. He’s got a realistic appraisal of what a tough league this is. Played well today as in previous matches it’s just the goals not going in. Diangana was poor again but it was a great effort from him tipped over the bar. Ajayi is looking more and more out of place. This team is genuinely trying though, you can see that. Cardiff are having a good spell, their manager is doing well. Nothing stays the same for long in this league does it?
