B'rum 1-0 .

Goalie has had a nightmare there.

To easy, BRUM scoring then

We’ve been shit so far. Can’t string a pass and look sluggish. International breaks have not been good for us this season.

They’ve just been going long as the kid up from is lightning quick and we’re not dealing with it.

Is Bryson even playing? We’re being ‘out Warnocked’ so to speak.

Why what did he do wrong? He kicked to halfway remind me how many city players did 1 brum player beat?

It is too easy. Brum look like their playing with the bite we usually have. C'mon City.

At this very moment your totally right Norms.

Couldn't be any easier for them so far. If you want to do well in this league you have to deal with international breaks ,injuries etc

Did warnock watch the Wales game coz were playing like them absolute shit.it's like we don't know how to play

They’re are doing to us what we’ve done to other teams this season and we don’t know how to deal with it.

We're very poor so far, can't get into the game.

We are embarrassing were 2nd best to everything it's like we haven't even turned up shocking stuff

Wake the f@ck up

HT - 1-0 .

Is ref blind 2 yds away couldn't see defender block goal bound shot!

A bit better the last few minutes before those silly free kicks. We’re making them look good, let’s get at them second half and show what we’re really capable of.

Bamba is having a mare 1st half and we look suspect down the right with Peltier too far up! Surely changes for 2nd half

What a bloody awful first half

I’d swap Bryson for Damour. Also, Bamba is showing tonight that he is much better as a centre half than a midfielder. Pity Gunnarsson is still hungover

Time for a Warnock rollicking and to get tomlin on

Time for a Warnock bollocking. It shouldn't have to come to this all the time though. We are supposed to be top of the league. Embarassing so far, all of them.

Bamba is a great ball winner in that deep holding midfield role, but he can't pass a ball for shit, and has found himself in good positions to create breakaways only to literally pass the ball to a Brum player. Multiple times!

Second half will show whether we've learnt anything from the Derby game, as far how to break down teams that play deep and don't want to play football against us. Birmingham will happily sit back now and hope for quick counters.

You can be sure Neil Warnock will have a thing or two to say at half time, and you wouldn’t be surprised if he makes changes too. He’s not been happy that Cardiff have succumbed to Birmingham’s press and wants to give them a taste of their own medicine by getting the ball forward quicker than they are. Cardiff are dallying and either giving up cheap possession or showing a lack of quality when they have had the chance. Bamba is struggling in the midfield role and Manga has been exposed by the pace of Adams and Vassell. For all that, Zohore has shown some real quality and reminds why Cardiff are by no means out of this. Some of his forward play has had Birmingham in all sorts of bother, using his body well and running from deep. Hoilett is beginning to get on the act too and if Cardiff can sort themselves out behind him, there could be a way back.”

We’re a second half team we always have been under Warnock, yes poor first half, don’t know how you can blame Etheridge for the goal shit back pass and then his defence decided to not tackle the winger. Thought he was unlucky not to get anywhere near it but the finish was great. Zohore up top on his own needs help Hoillet is having a dreadful time marked out of the game

Bamba really poor, second best to every thing.

Attendance watch... 19,059 here tonight, with 1,301 filling out the away end.

Manga is atrocious and so is Hoilett, competing with each other to play the worst.

We are making them look good!

This is just so poor

Bamba,Holiettt,Medez laing,Bryson all shocking
