Review
A very misty day and we missed the chance to keep our unbeaten run going. Cardiff played the game they needed to play - it was dirty, harsh and with plenty of timewasting but luckily for them the ref was on their side. We failed to get much going after their against-the-run-of play opener so we get another home defeat at a time we needed to keep the pressure on at the top.
