Who do you suggest we replace him with?

Rather see Kelly LB than Mags.

[Gert Mare]

If he is replaced by the flat footed one we will be no better off

So the TalkSport online commentary is a minute behind then

It does look that way. I saw their goal before the radio even mentioned it.

[You Do The Dziekanowski]

Kelly should have started LB. Baker Flint in the middle Bryan RB

[INCRED]

Magnússon having a shocker!!

Not strong enough, three chances to stop the bloke and still got past him

Looks well off the pace

[havanatopia]

A few options then chaps... Bryan at left back indeed me thinks.

Leko... get Bryan back there please

Leko looked like a prize winner against Fulham and was absolutely shocking. 

[City_USA]

Half time

[Talk Of The Town]

Otib’s blue eyed boy having a stinker 

[Lordofthebling]

I've never been one to slag off those in a red shirt, but that was a shower of ******* shite from Hörður 

[Super]

Mags is hopeless having a shocker.

[City_USA]

Disappointed with their goal but the score a fair reflection of the 1st half?

[marcofisher]

Djuric was starting to look tired to me end of that half, Taylor on at 60 minutes to stretch Cardiff and open them up.

[SedRA]

The amount of times Joe's bailed out Magnússon! We're lucky he's so good that he can do two players jobs. Otherwise we'd be in even more trouble down that side.

Id rather have potentially shite/potentially amazing going forward, than shite in defence...

Who was marking Cardiff's goalscorer? Hörður? 

[petehinton]

Magnússon off for Leko. Bryan LB. Solves it all. Even put Leko at RM to put him 1 on 1 with a defender on a yellow. 

[Wanderingred]

Come on City! We can still do this! And I'll still be proud of you, if you go down fighting!

Leko is a defensive liability though. If we go 2-1 down I'd stick him on, but not at 1-1. 

I'd have taken 1-1 at half time before kick off, and believe we can force a winner here, which would be a terrific result. 

Come on city!

[BS3City]

Baker clearly not fit in my opinion...

[old_eastender]

HT 1-1.

Mags has been poor at LB, been out of position several times and looks vulnerable 1 on 1. Id' take him off for Kelly personally.

Korey has been good at RB, but really missing his link up play in center midfield. Pack doing OK, but just not on the same level as Korey in CM.

Djuric has won lots of flick ons but Reid seems to far away from him to take advantage.

Anybody's game here, can LJ get the tactics right for the 2nd half that is the question.

 

[Andy082005]

We have shaded it. I just think we look to disjointed at times. Definately missing Paterson 

Sadly this is the sort of game we will more then likely lose. They will try every dirty trick in  the book second half wait and see

[bristolcitysweden]

A very poor first half. When COD and Reid are in possession of the ball it's football. But most of the game is shit. Magnússon having a shocker and his co operating with Bryan is very poor and when they piss it up Baker is not capable of reading the game. If this continue we will lose. Djuric a waste. All he is doing is delaying our play as we go for the easy option dumping it long. The key player second half is Bryan. Three football players and we can perhaps nick it but as things stand we are about to lose the game. 

[Esmond Million's Bung]

Not a lot of quality and fitting that the best move of the game brought our goal but the game is as near to an old school derby as the modern game will allow.

In the latter stages of the half Baker looks to be struggling with injury.

O’Dowda has hit a confident streak of form and looks the part.

Midfield so far today is patchy but holding their own.

Typical Warnock team performance, unambitious, but it’s great to see him getting pissed off as usual.

Magnússon was piss weak for their goal.

My main frustrations are as good as Brownhill is why in a tight game does he feel the need to try to be too clever not only in dangerous defensive situations but also promising attacking positions and why do our big strikers seem so easy to ease off of the ball and spend a lot of time on their arses?.

I agree but Hörður is a defensive liability... in defence.

Trouble is, you need someone who can defend from left midfield too, and at Fulham Leko didn’t do either 

[Dan Robin]

We played better after Callum's goal, and had 2 chances to go 2-0 up, but on the left side of our defence we conceded too much space,so Cardiff's goal wasn't unexpected for me.

Best player of the 1st half: O'Dowda

The worst one: Mags

Edited November 4, 2017 by Dan Robin

[Tinmans Love Child]

Mags looks weak, unconfident, bad touch, bad positioning, not good.  To be fair Cardiff don’t look that dangerous, tight game though could go either way

[The Journalist]

If we're going to make the most of having Djuric up top, I'd 100% go Eliasson over Leko if we're making the change at half-time.

It'll be interesting to see his delivery with a proper target in the box, something he's not had the benefit of in previous appearances.
