v Cardiff City (h) - 21/10/2023

Glaring hole where a center forward would play. A bit sloppy with the passing in the final 3rd.

Getting slightly worried about this Telalovic bloke though - he can't get a sniff. 

I said in his debut cameo that he didn’t look the required standard and I stand by that. Even still, he is scoring in the behind-closed-doors and U21s games, so there’s obviously something there.

As a punt - which he was - I’m happy for him to spend the next 6 weeks getting up to speed, but if he’s still not staked a claim after Christmas, I think we’ll know.

Did you see Sigurdsson play the ball into Dolan with absolutely nobody around him? Dolan just played it back to Pickering - he has 20 yards of space to run into if he had any awareness at all and just turned onto the ball.

Maddening.

Tronstad is real quality. Very impressed with Gregg's business.

We are missing Ennis Leonard and for what it's worth Gally. Doing ok considering what we do have

[moerpho]

Stupid yellow card for Dolan. Grow up lad.

That basically everybody who Gregg has brought in has been good except for Hirst who then went on to do very well at Ipswich makes me a bit hopeful Telalovic has something we haven't seen yet.

[yankfan]

Far cry from the open and high scoring matches a few weeks back. 

[moerpho]

Cardiff disallowed goal….pheeew

[waynerovers]

Fancy that... scoring by crossing in a corner.

[yankfan]

How is that offside.  I’d be livid if that had gone the other way. It would never actually go the other way because we don’t play corners into the box 

[jny]

Dolan possesses all the requisite elements to become a top footballer apart from a brain.

[joey_big_nose]

We really got away with that one... Never seen a goal disallowed like that.

Issue for me is JRC is having a rare poor game. Wonder if we might try Wharton and Tronstad together?

[CambridgeRover]

Dolan thinks people were counting him out

He is down for the count

Awful player

[moerpho]

Something feel off today. Earlier games we’ve created chances but not scored - today we’re not creating chances and not scoring. Unusually uneventful game as well. 0-0 on the books?

[Guest]

two poor sides on show today on what's been served up so far

[yankfan]

Center of Dolan, Szmodics, JRC isn’t working. Like they’ve never met each other before today 

[ItsRoverZ]

We look utterly void of anything uptop which is bizzare when we have Sigurddson, Szmodicz up the pitch 

[yankfan]

Dolan is in poor form. A confident player puts that ball squarely in the net

Szmodics, Sigurdsson, Brittain and JRC have nothing to play off.

Dolan has been diabolical - surely Ennis can do 45 mins, if not I'd bring Telalovic on - we're playing with 10. 

[joey_big_nose]

Feels like this is the game for Ennis to announce he is the number 9 weve been looking for since Graham left.

[NeilInBristol]

Half time team talk coming up. I sense some improvement in second half
