I dont necessarily think the season is dead despite last nights disapointing performance.
However winning at home is essential back up with consistent away draws or a win in one of three away games. A run needs to be put together March to Easter. We need to get some momentum back.
I agree, not convinced Tavares is ready or the answer?
Also agree on Jones. He is no worse than Allen or Shipley so may as well chuck him into the mix of squad rotation and game time? Shipley has 60 mins in his tank, with Eccles injured so I don't understand why Jones isn't given a chance?
Perhaps because two of the subs last night were contractual obligations and the other was a senior player who had been making waves about not playing?
Purely speculation of course
Waghorn signing been a total failure

Can’t understand why Some people are so far up MR’s backside they cannot criticise him and blame SISU entirely.
He got the side completely wrong last night and then he completely cocked up the subs as well - Cardiff’s squad and team were as weak as ours but blooded lots of youngsters and utilised subs far better than us.
His failure not to use his bench especially Jones and then complain players are tired is completely mind blowing.
I blame Robins for the defeat last night.
with injuries it might be worth a formation change in Saturday too but no chance he will do that sadly!
Hoping for 3 points Saturday but hope more than expectation.
I think in times of frustration, many fans will always look for an alternative to pin their hopes on.
If I remember rightly many did the same with Ponticelli a few years ago - and look where he is now.
It's a cliche but fans seriously need to understand the gulf in quality between U23s and first team Championship football. To put it into perspective Biamou was prolific during his short stint in the U23s whilst he was returning from injury.

With the lack of options up front and lack of pace in the side, I've been one of those seriously contemplating giving Tavares a run out in the last couple of games. Doesn't mean I think he's the bee's knees, or that I'm convinced he is the answer. But I'd rather we found out than spend week after week on here saying he should be given a chance because we don't know.
Like not asking a girl out. She might end up being a complete bitch but if you don't you'll spend far more time wondering 'what if'.
Did they pick the formation and substitutions last night?
Are you going to do the double over us on Saturday?
For me if we're chasing he game we need o try something different. If he gets us back into it he's lauded for it, if he doesn't he can hardly be blamed. Whereas if you're 2-3 goals up and the opposition get back into it, even if it's nothing to do with him, the connection will be made.I just don't see the value in sending him on in games that we're actively having to chase.
It reminds me of fans demanding for Bapaga to be featuring regularly last season when realistically if anything it probably would've done more harm than good to the player, and in equal stead would've likely contributed nothing to the team/final result.
You're assessment sounds right - the two loans players will have clauses in their contracts regarding playing time, etc.Perhaps because two of the subs last night were contractual obligations and the other was a senior player who had been making waves about not playing?

...I dont get this about Waghorn, he is doing a good job, its not his job to score if Godden or Viktor are on the pitch
This idea that we’ll never know if he’s good enough until we play him is ridiculous. Why doesn’t it also apply to Marcus Hillsner, or Sky Blue Sam?
That said, I’m at the stage where I want Tavares to play soon, if only because it might stop people prattling on about him.
Because he's done enough in the U23 to warrant the chance to step up. Hilssner never did.
Dan AgyeiThe top scorers from the last four seasons in the Professional Development League (and their current clubs) are:
Sam Dalby (Southend - National League)
Dan Agyei (Crewe - League One)
Connor Hall (Chorley - National League North)
Louis Britton (Waterford - League of Ireland First Division)
Which of those would you want playing for us this year?

No just because it would be a blast from the pastHe’s warranted the chance to step up ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

He's scoring a lot of goals at that level, which suggests he needs a bigger challenge. A loan would likely be better but as that's not an option now, why not utilise him as part of that squad. Yes, Championship is a big step up and it may be too much of a challenge for him, but when we've got a very depleted strikeforce playing a lot of minutes in quick succession why not bring him on as a wildcard that the opposition won't know much about and offers something a bit different with his pace, especially if we're chasing the game and need a goal. He's got the chance to be the hero but if he doesn't manage it you can't pin the blame on him unless he misses an absolute sitter (which we seem to miss a lot of anyway).
utter shite at least your football knowledge is consistent with your political acumen
He got 7 in the time he was with us. 2 less than Devon Kelly-Evans scored in the same season. Hardly scoring for fun.He's spot on though. Jack McBean scored for fun in the reserves but was that bad at football he doesn't even play any more. It's a joke level and teams at Championship level are not going to be caught out by a 'wildcard' because he can run fast.

You're the one that brought up Jack McBean scoring for fun in the U23. I just pointed out he wasn't.Thanks, remind me what level Devon is playing at
