Personally I think last night showed that TC will learn some hard lessons this year. He's used to pretty tika taka stuff and the less physical game they play in Europe. I'm certain he does all the scouting and homework possible, but I think he needs to realise that in the championship you need to really battle and that pretty passing sometimes goes out of the window.

I guess like the rest of you guys Iam feeling down about the Cardiff result. Losing is part of the game and in this league we know anyone can beat anyone, games come thick and fast. It's the manner of the defeat that got to me. I like others on this site had been asking for certain players to get a run out, but some of TCs changes baffled me. Why drop Lassogga? Not start Saiz? Where was O'Kane? . Too many of our players choose the same night to have a bad game. I do believe TC will get things more right than wrong, but he needs to learn flair players like Hernandez are not right for some matches. Teams will always raise their game against us, we need to be less predictable at times. Felix does not seem to instill confidence in his defence, reminds me of Silvestry, typically foreign keeper, would rather punch than catch the ball and terrible with anything crossed into our box. I know he could not be blamed for all the goals last night, but think he is very average.

Lassoga has been flying over and back to Germany the last few weeks because as everyone knows his wife was giving birth so why are we surprised he was rested. i'm amazed some find this astonishing

O'Kane was ill, Mezzer.

Flying to and from Germany hardly a longhaul flight, not much difference to some players travelling up and down the country. Lasogga has been playing well and has put the team before his personal issues, for him to make the effort to return from Germany for this match and not even get off the bench, does not show him the same level of faith in my opinion. At least start him and take him off if he is showing signs of fatigue.

got to agree mezzer, if TC had no intention of playing lasogga why not let him stay in Germany, have a few days with his wife and baby daughter, then come back ready for sunday, would be fresh and ready to roll.
