I guess we're about to find out

You can be an attacking midfielder from a central position though, which is where I'd have him playing (with Franco behind). He looked a bit lost out wide yesterday, quite awkward when the ball came to him on the touchline

What would he have done? The guy is busy and gets around the pitch but I think we need a lot more than that, namely one of our injured senior CBs, a winger who isn't looking to fall over at every opportunity and a tactical change to allow our striker to get involved in the game. O'Brien was...

Why can't Franco do that job? Him scuttling around with Widell and Galbraith ahead of him is our best midfield in my opinion. If we bring in another starting midfielder, which of them misses out?

It was odd to see Widell playing from the left, he struggled to get involved much. I think we would have looked better with Franco, Galbraith and Widell in midfield, Ronald LW and Inoussa RW

I still don't know how he wasn't sacked after a run of (I think) 2 wins in 23 games

I was disappointed he played the whole game, would have been good to see Cotterill get some minutes

The one he hit straight at the keeper? I did say I may have forgotten one 😂 They're going to be playing PSG next season, while we'll be playing Charlton so context is very important in terms of the standard of opposition today. As someone else said, they were just sharper than us all over the pitch

So we're just talking about the first 15 minutes of the second half then? In which time we failed to score (I don't remember us having a shot either but I may be wrong) and we only scored from a penalty which was won immediately after they made 3 subs

It was partly that but mostly that Lorient were 3:0 up and took their foot off the gas, as well as replacing almost their whole team

Are we going to have a 5 page thread for every Cardiff game this season?

Cullen still chirping at Sheehan when he came off then

An angry penalty from Cullen, his body language today has shown he's clearly frustrated at the ball not getting forward to him

If the tactics mean the ball never gets to the striker, no striker will be able to do anything. It's the same problem we had under Williams

Yeah, that's why I didn’t count the 1 against Cheltenham. The opposition today are very good, they won the French second division last season, so a loss isn't too surprising (although it would be good to avoid a hammering). More concerning for me is the fact we've played games against sides...

Galbraith and Widell both outstanding but seem to only want to pass to each other. Still no goals scored in pre-season, apart from the 2 x 60 minute games against Stevenage. The style of play is still far too negative, has Cullen had a touch yet? Hopefully we'll improve as the new players...

Cooper is nowhere near good enough. Considering he's supposed to be an attacking midfielder, his stats are: 22/23: 6 goals and 2 assists in 44 games 23/24: 1 goal and 3 assists in 38 games 24/25: 1 goal and 2 assists in 29 games Total: 8 goals and 7 assists in 111 games Admittedly, he's...

I'm not sure, but when transfer budgets are quoted, they usually only refer to the cost of buying the players. Wage budgets are normally a separate issue

I was reading earlier that they had a budget of about £25m to spend this summer, they've only spent around £11m so far

He's got a rocket of a shot on him, we saw it a few times last season
