Sounds like a game performance in one of the toughest games of the season on paper. Hopefully this will breed a bit of togetherness and, coupled with a bit more time in training, help us get something from our next couple.

Still worried about them catching us...

The way some folks are talking, you'd have thought we should be playing 9 defenders and 2 keepers. I'm sure Norwich are decent, but we can't show them too much respect. It's a free hit, in many ways; we're expected to get tanked, so why not come out swinging? At least it isn't Derby away last year; we played an incredibly defensive side and got beaten up. Here, if we get done we've clearly given it a shot.

Wow! So LJ & Pembo decided to go all;

My heart; it is broken.

Possibly doesn't fancy playing his boyhood side, as ridiculous as that is. The concept that you'd cry off your first home league game of the season due to tiredness is bizarre. Injury of illness; understandable. But that just is odd. Imagine he could have got wind of a Championship team sniffing about and wanted to make sure he was ready if they came in for him.

Actually quite pleased we have Newcastle at home so soon into the season, especially after the start they've had. Got one less day to recover than we do, plus the travel, and even if we head into the match having lost to Nowich, there will be pressure on Newcastle. If Korey is actually back for that game as him and LJ have both hinted it, then even better.

TBF it sounds like we've nicked it, and we've got a lot of work to do. Just switching on the Norwich game to get a sense of them, but I do think Tuesday night will be a very, very, very hard match. The fact we can lose that game and have 6 in the bag is nice; a point would be fantastic, and good to be able to think that!

My thinking exactly. Took us a fair few games to pick up this number of points last year; delighted to be 10% of the way to safety...

Make it ten; just to be safe... Absoultely buzzing. Stuck in work on a pig of a shift till half time, but caught the second half, so that's my Saturday evening made. These cans of haze I got in are getting tanned, I tell ee.

Only a matter of time now till they turn up on here claiming how this is proof they could handle championship football.

Well ****. Should have been one all there.

Wasn't the 88th min but you nailed it with worldie.

Because one of Rovers' players headbutted his elbow, thanks to missing a header by about five feet.

At this point I'd be happy for us to play Scunthorpe just to have this over.

Smart man.

I'm very bored right now.

To be fair, they aren't wrong, if it's this Galatasaray their talking about.

Makes me grateful for Kodjia; this Cardiff side, even with subs on and for all their possession and neat passing, has no spontaneity - he might be a touch wasteful at times, but our Jimmy makes defences work like no one on display here.

Think it is just delayed because of this game. Imagine Sky would find a reason to pull their coverage if they were after this yawn fest.

Wally got his mention and his mug on TV; that's his night/week made.

Didn't Roofe win Rovers' last televised game for Oxford with a wonder strike?

You get the feeling this game is so dire, if it went to pens, both sides would miss every single one.

Indeed. Several of the fans are shouting themselves horse.
