Second came almost alive in latter stages the Devils’ scrappy goal the only remarkable event.

A pathetically unforced misplaced pass is intercepted and they score. Oh dear it gets worse and worse.

It feels very much like we're limping towards the end of the season with no fight and no cohesion.

I've got my tickets for the playoff weekend, but I'm not particularly confident that the Steelers will make it.

Fox seems clueless how to get this team playing and just seems to rely on constant swapping of lines.

I bet the Cardiff supporters are stunned how poor we've become.

Are we reaching the end of an era? - This certainly can't go on.

You say this just as Heard has his third fight of the night. Frankly it is all completely irrelevant. All told this is an embarrassing evening. It has been a hard watch this year. Tonight we plumbed the depths even deeper than before. This is just not a Steelers team. They should be ashamed of themselves, perhaps Cormier has shown some quality.

Don’t forget, many players won’t be ‘buying in’.

If they’re not buying in after 50 odd games, not sure they’re going to change now Fox.
