Well done lads, management and all coaching staff. Surely Bird doesn't want to play for Bristol now, and even more Ebou definitely doesn't want to play for Cardiff. UTR 🐑

My sound didn't work, changed channels and back, now it does, hope that helps

Would have liked to have been there today, but wife is away so can't get. Always look forward to the match thread but can I make a plea that if things aren't going well that we all revert to moaning and we hardly get any match updates ( @Caerphilly Ram being a notable exception thanks). Thanks in anticipation. UTR

1Wildsmith 8, 2 great saves, thought the first was in, very confident, good punching clear too 35Nelson 7 solid, slightly uncomfortable on rh side 3Forsyth 9, astonishing performance given recent injury, won all his headers 6Cashin 8, solid, maturing well 23Ward 6 2Wilson 7, good going forward 32Adams 7.5, very competitive, constantly manhandled, good that he tries to shoot a lot (not very successfully) 4Hourihane 5, only good in first 10 minutes, should be on bench 16Thompson 7, good energy, mazy dribbles, needs games to get confidence to shoot 17Sibley 6, unlucky to be subbed 20Elder 6 7Barkhuizen 7, threatened first half, unlucky to go off 10Waghorn 7.5, good physical presence kept the Bolton defence busy 25Gayle 6, unlucky, get well soon! 12Smith 7, busy, added midfield presence 11Méndez-Laing 7, tried hard, not much came off Warne 9, good team selection, substitutions and game management Ratings based on first game of season, therefore no pre conceived ideas.

My first game of the season. Haven't felt the excitement to come all the way from West Wales for a while due to cost and time, whilst being frustrated with team selection and particularly substitutions (too late and wrong). Today, however was back to the feeling of the relegation season. What an effort from all the team, you could see the togetherness. And all deserve credit for getting over the line when we didn't look like winning. And well done Paul Warne for managing the game and substitutions to great effect

Lawrence Shankland from Hearts anybody? Wouldn't cost anywhere near as much as JCH
