Well if Moran is better than them in that role, he'll break into the team there. Whether he is slow or not will be irrelevant if he's a better option there. If he isn't, he will be invaluable cover and rotation for Szmodics, who is very important to us right now and is bound to get injured and/or fatigued if we flog him playing every match.

Aye that's a terrible estimate. There is no precedent for it, and despite adding in pissing off BE fans (some of whom have confirmed on here they didn't go due to the end closure) and the website ballsing up for ticket sales, they were off by what's that, about 33% ? They don't have a clue.

There didn't look to be many Cardiff fans at all from the footage.

It will still be up because we have a contract with House of Cavani, tbf. I suppose they could reshoot with a player still here, but it's their promotional material so we can't really force them to spend their money doing that. A bit cringe in the first place that a player was selected who was likely leaving.

If we'd done that (if we could even afford that) people would have been asking why we signed some lower league waster instead of taking a chance on an unknown from Europe. Broughton was in attendance last January. You're thinking of Swag. The epitome of how to not be a CEO.

Just had a look at last year's cup run to see how tonight's attendance (5,371) compares. We didn't have a comparable home tie by this stage, but the fact we got a fair bit higher attendance in the first round against Hartlepool (6,844) last season, and Walsall this season (6,173, also first round) suggests tonight's attendance is certainly short of what it would have been without Swag's idiocy.

Given he put a 'like' on the definitely serious comment about it below mine, I don't think there was.

You poor thing. Are you alright? I don't know how you'll recover from something as terrible as swearing.

It's all well and good when the decision-making is solid. But it only takes one error of judgement to give a goal away out of absolutely nothing. These players need to remember they're still in defence and adjust their level of risk accordingly. If in doubt, boot it out.

In absence of the replay, all I have to go off is that it was a Moran assist, and this from the LT feed: Markanday composed strike bounces in off the post. He's been brilliant tonight and deserved a goal!

Well he's definitely the greatest Icelandic player that's played for us...

Not a lot of surprises elsewhere. Looks like it'll be Liverpool, Chelsea, Manure, Arsenal all through. City could be going out to Newcastle, not a huge shock as such, but City have won something like half the League Cups in recent years, so could be a big plus for anyone looking to lift this trophy.

Doesn't look like the 5th goal is getting shown. Cheers Sky.

Won a penalty too.

Hopefully he can start performing in the league now.

Yeh disagree. He IS goal side for one thing. Getting any tighter than he was could have made it easy for the player to turn away and leave him stranded. Attempting to snatch the ball with the player facing away from him could have very easily resulted in a penalty. As I said though, the other player who goes charging forward prematurely fucked up there.

It was something similar to his Twitter handle, roverseas I think.

Good find! The second Cardiff goal for anyone who wants to see it. Not as bad as made out either, IMO. One defender runs too far forward as the ball is being played into the box, not sure the others can reasonably be expected to do much about it.

He used to post on here if you recall. On his videos he looks and sounds like a budget John Oliver.

Nice strike that.

Nah, that's how George Hirst's confidence got crushed. Not a mistake we should repeat, letting a young newbie take a penalty with anything riding on it when he hasn't scored yet.

That's why I didn't say he was the only striker we signed.

And what do you reckon the odds of that are?
