Issue however is chances created last night many of them were snatched at, need to establish more composure to get the scoreboard ticking over.
Defensively we look a little unsteady. 3 penalties in 5 games does not make for good reading and they have all been from sloppy errors. Shrewsbury's second goal was through errors from Richards, who let the ball somehow get passed him and then Peltier and Manga failed to close down their men. Interesting to note Harris, who worked back into the 18 yard box and then just stood still and watched it all unfold in front of him.
The result of course is a poor one, but Cardiff are looking like a threat in the final third, which is hopefully going to continue on when they run out against Burton in 10 days time.
