Review:
A game of 2 halves, but too late to get our first win of the season. Poor defending gave Cardiff a third-minute lead from a corner and they doubled the lead before half-time and that was enough. We put a lot of pressure in the second half but without a goalscorer what can we do? I'm sounding like a broken record, but that's what we're missing. Grabban came off with fifteen minutes to go but it was too late.
