Well, once again we've failed to win at home, but in truth we were

lucky to scrape a point. Cardiff could comfortably have had five or six and we couldn't really have had a complaint. They hit the bar and had two cleared off the line - and that was just in the first half. Kuipers performed heroics in goal and it was no surprise he was man of the match although his performance was marred by the way the equaliser was finally conceded: he came for a corner, missed it altogether and the Cardiff sub Bullock had the simplest of tasks to loop a header over him into the net.

The pace of Cardiff 's front men posed problems all night and with

Nicolas limping off after half an hour we seemed to lose any sense of midfield cohesion, even though Chippy put himself about on his return to the side as his replacement.

The biggest disappointment of the night was probably the unnecessary booking for Virgo which means he's now banned for the next match.
