FT: CARDIFF CITY 3 - 0 ROTHERHAM UTD. Match thread

It was a good performance all spoilt by a programme cover

Seeing their 'keeper begin timewasting after our 3rd [60th minute], and at the final whistle around half the Rotherham players just collapsing, sums up the game. I've no idea how tough this league is, but I can't remember seeing a City side wear the opposition down completely as the did yesterday. It's also worth considering that Rotherham set up 5-4-1 with everyone behind the ball so not a lot of space for us to work in. Teams that come at us - probably mostly away games - may cause us problems, but will give us opportunities as well.

Yes struck me at 1 nil down their keeper asked their defender to leave the ball so he could take a few extra seconds to get to it.

It was a very good performance, particularly second half but I felt even in the first Rotherham never had much intention or belief they could win. Seems strange to me given they aren't that long removed from the championship.

Apologies ... I didn't realise there was one penalty claim in each half.
