So proud of the boys tonight

Holding out for nearly half an hour with 10 men. Brilliant resilience and defensively very solid. Should've had a penalty. Arter should shake every player's hand, he's lucky he didn't cost us. Having said that we may have won. Oh well, point away never a bad result.

Not a bad result but a another poor performance.Considering the talent in our ranks, they are not being utilised properly yet. A lot of work to do over the international break.

Can someone explain why Arter gets a yellow for a dive (when his back leg was touched), yet Flint, doesnt get a yellow forn a dive? Ref didn't give a pen so it must have been a dive.... **** refs again.
I was there, standing in the Putney end

Sounds as if we put up a good fight but the bad news is we are not creating goal chances.

I'm hoping that when things click properly we'll create more chances & put games to bed.

Sorry but purely idiotic from Arter to not only fling himself to the ground but to then react the way he did all the while on a yellow. Agree the ref was shite though

I disagree. We dominated the game and looked comfortable defensively. It's not easy coming here. We need to get more out of our wingers by getting the ball forward quicker but that doesn'tmake it a bad performance. I felt we would've won if Arter didn't get sent off we were on top.

Midfield shows zero creativity. With the right ball to the front three we can and will score. Something there has to change, whether tactically or change of players.

Ask the ref.

Well played lads-  a gutsy performance.

Arter WAS tripped, even if he went down  bit theatricality, whereas the ref ignored their player  doing worse - in that he isn't even touched -in the pen area, and the Sky commentators  also glossed over it, after condemning Arter.

Agreed. Cairney disappointing. Reed and Arter aren't creative players, we know that. Regardless though if we get the penalty we win I think.

joemole

Leave Cairney there, but maybe try O'Reilly or Onomah. Beats watching anyone else there passing sideways or backwards every time.

Because this is the Championship and the refs are pi$$ poor. And people like Morrison and Warnock, whilst pi$$ poor at football, can a play a ref like that like a violin

Because Flint's dive took place in a crowded area with the ball a little distance away and his action was only clear upon seeing the replay. Perhaps we should be thankful that Flint did fall: had he tried to run from Cairney, it may have been apparent that our captain had hold of his shirt (a la Luiz on Salah the other week).

Very disappointed with that performance & our players attitude.

They were very poor. We were pedestrian, lacking creativity & urgency. 2 points dropped by the prima donnas who seem to think they can coast to promotion. They need to realise damn quick you have to graft and earn the right to play.

Someone please tell our players the objective is to score goals not accumulate possession stats. We are much too negative.

As for discipline Parker needs to sort this quickly. Arter was warned in the first half for his mouth. He gets booked, theatrically goes down & then remonstrates with the lineman. Booking all day long.

No, as you can tell I'm not impressed with my trip to Cardiff tonight

Tim Robinson took liberties with something one of our players said to him in the first half and allowed it to cloud his judgement for the rest of the game, which he subsequently lost control of. Should be demoted a division.


Denver Fulham

Dull, toothless possession, gifted Cardiff their goal, and took a stupid red to kill any chance of 3 points against a thoroughly mediocre opponent.

What's to be proud about? That we didn't lose? Expectations need to be higher than that.
