Football 1-0 Anti Football.
As some of us thought, Warnock set Cardiff up to spoil the game, although we did start brightly, with Wallace hitting the post. After 15 mins it started to get scrappy, which suited Cardiff and they had a few chances.
2nd half it got worse, time-wasting, Cardiff players going down "injured" and the ref losing control. CC made 3 changes, Nuhiu, Rhodes & FF coming on for Jones, Fletch & Hooper. That gave us a bit of a spark, Nuhiu & Rhodes both holding the ball up well and instigating some attacking moves. Then Rhodes & FF linked up well, Rhodes shot was saved only for FF to come flying in with lovely diving header. 1-0 and we saw the game out.

Cardiff City manager Neil Warnock told BBC Radio Wales:
"I'm disappointed. I've never felt more comfortable at Hillsborough. Other than the shot in the first half, I didn't think we were troubled.
"We had some good opportunities which we didn't take advantage of. Other than that, I was quite pleased - just disappointed with the goal.
"When they put Rhodes and Forestieri on, we haven't spent a penny. You look at the sort of money they've spent and they're sixth in the league, so it's got to give us a lot of confidence that we can improve in the summer.
"They're sixth in the league and I don't know how they've come away with a win."
Pleased with time-wasting, players feigning injuries and how not to play football.
Says all you need to know about Warnock's "footballing philosophy".

Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
