This is a serious question - did Meslier make a save or did Cardiff score from their only two shots on target?

Sinisterra with a brilliant move and we get a break when the ball falls to Summerville, who deserved a bit of luck.

Dominant second half. Very encouraging

Last year’s side would have folded up the tents at half time.

Would love Adams to stay because Adams/Gray/Ampadu would be the best mid 3 in the league.. Archie a revelation today and I knew he was good to start with

Gnonto magnificent, Cry ditto, Sini an off day but he'll be back to form soon and would be happier with him on the left.. I would have started Byram and we looked better with him on. He's used to playing in front of Leeds fans and that helps.

Fans at the ground were superb, hats off to 64, Barlow, Blackie and I'd imagine Lesley too and the others who's name I've forgotten

Totally deserved, we could and should've won.

Highly positive performance from the 'team' they acquitted themselves well, a work in good progress.

Two main concerns, lack of communication for the first, whether that be Ayling, Pascal, Willy or A N Other, but it was a total lack of communication, their second was so predictable that Cardiff did their homework on pulling the ball back into the penalty spot danger area, needs addressing immediately that coz they're gonna be wide open to that.

I'm glad he left Jimmy and Sinis on, the subs were right in Willy and DJ, Pov looked impressive straight away and a danger.

I'm happy, but shame we didn't get 3pts.

Big plus +....Every fcker was trying and playing for each other putting in a good shift of graft.

Well done.
Not dependent on Google, the www or 'stats' - Just a guy that puts his eyes to full use on the beautiful game :geek: ...That Ayling goal and "You couldn't script it :lol: " - Dirty Leeds B@stard.
Must dash.

Even if we lose Summerville and Gnonto in this window, we’ll be fine.

1st half was predictable and worrying.

But 2nd half showed fight and character, good lads

Absolutely battered them 2nd half and I do quite enjoy the possession style.

Summerville and Gray best players imo.

Felt like Byram and Cresswell getting forward to help create overloads helped 2nd half to.


Poveda and his positivity was key 2nd half late on as well.

Ayling is a defensive disaster but he did well to get forward late on

Not perfect at all, the 1st half defensively was awful at times and we struggled to create at times to 1st half.

Take heart from the 2nd half but the 1st needs to focus some minds in the boardroom and recruitment department.

Makes a change from last season, fighting back, rather than throwing away a lead, but we should never have been 2-0 down in the first place. I know Cardiff are our bogey team, so I expected it. But we need a confident, commanding GK and need to learn to create chances against the bus parkers.

Meslier is useless: sorry not sorry. First goal, he never moved...

Meslier not at fault for either goal imo so difficult to rate his performance as Cardiff were toothless going forward (though they will have on of the best defences in the league) I am surprised Darlow isn't starting though

It would have been an absolute travesty if we had come away with nothing from that game. Great second half from the lads.
Unfortunately that looked a bad injury for Cooper.

According to the Beeb Cardiff had two shots on target

I was half expecting a slow start to the season with the lateness of our off season and the talent that left. I had this one down as Cardiff starting slight favourites because of that and the time needed for us to gel. Happy with a point, Norwich were always slow starters and just kept getting better so a lot of positives to be had. Not least the much maligned kids playing well

Cardiff got into our half about 3 times in the whole of the 1st half and we were 2 down at half time - wtf!

Second half comeback though was promising and fully deserved, never stopped trying and attacked to the bitter end. Got a draw - deserved more!

So glad Archie played well today. He should've got a chance last year, instead of that waster McDonald's who didn't give a s**t.

Get behind the team or find another hobby
Try seeing why are fans are celebrating drawing at home with a team like Cardiff like it's a cup final when these are bread and butter games we need to win if we are to progress there is serious faults in this team including a porous defence and no cutting edge upfront in other words a recognised striker better teams will bury us Later in the season especially when the injuries kick in
