      For me the REAL CRIME was JET stupidly playing for time by running ball into the corner flag with about 8 minutes (including stoppages) STILL TO PLAY. I was screaming to him at the time not to do that - it's a very stupid, arrogant and dangerous game to play. After that, as sure as night follows day, I just knew Cardiff would go up the other end and equalise, and bang on cue that's exactly what happened.

      JET cost us the 3 points in that moment, not Ramsey - and I do hope he got a damn good bo||ocking for it afterwards.
      Not sure I agree it was arrogant stanley. Interested why you think that.
      But to me Stupid & dangerous is fair enough.
      Stupid because to me it sent out the message of desperation, and dangerous because as we found
      out they got a goal.
      Don't blame JET for the dropped points though

          Arrogant in the sense of over-complacent and over-c0cky, assuming that with 8 minutes still to go he could run down the clock.

            He couldn't run down the corner shop before it closes. Always looks out of puff and walks around a lot. He should train with Mackie.

              Worse than that, we had a pass accuracy of 54%... 54 bl00dy percent. We barely got half of our passes through to the right player and even worse, we played just over half as many passes as cardiff did. People will say doughty's job was to keep the ball when he came on, he had a 44% pass accuracy. Our best passer was on balance was Henry who had only 71% accuracy and made 21 passes (Gladwin had 77% but only played 13 passes). I know some people will be bored of these stats but for the player on our team with the most successful passes to only make more passes than their two worst passers is a bit embarrassing.

                  Just to highlight the state of the passing from yesterday. The numbers next to the players is the amount of passes played by each player (not successful though necessarily).

                    Really like the look of that Joe Ralls. Looks a player.

                      there was only one man responsible for that shambles yesterday and that was Ramsey. I would have played Polter up front with Charliie for starters. The irony of us moaning about how many midfielders we've bought and yet Cardiff controlled the game from kick-off. Two points lost? For Cardiff maybe, we were completely lost out there
                      I must away now, I can no longer tarry
                      This morning's tempest I have to cross
                      I must be guided without a stumble
                      Into the arms I love the most
