West Brom proved to be nothing special in my opinion - its not like being under the cosh as we were against Leeds, Leicester alike - but on merit were the better side on the pitch tonight, and a cross come shot from Sarmiento was the difference between the two sides.


The Bad

Runarsson in the first half almost led to the first goal of the match, shades of Alnwick's mistake against Watford.

Panzo looked completely out of his depth playing left back against Fellows, the ball down the inside of him worked a charm every time and Cardiff were fortunate that McGuiness could come to the rescue again and again.

Etete when the moment came to him to use his frame and throw his head at a peach of a cross from Colwill he fluffed his lines and made a complete mess of it.

The ref missing a clear and obvious handball call on Bartley, sliding to block Ugbo's effort with both arms raised, and he basically carried the ball out of play for what would only be a corner.



The Good

Goutas and McGuiness - hardly put a foot wrong all night. A great defensive partnership and the goal conceded tonight can hardly be chalked up against them.

He may frustrate others but Colwill's cameo showed glimpses of what he brings to Cardiff. Not everything he is going to try will come off but his touch, neat interplay and willingness to move the ball forward lead to some of Cardiff's better moments in the game.
