It's not nice that we got a taste of our own medicine for a change.
We seem to do much better when we let opposition score first - we need to do so with enough time to make a comeback which was not the case here. |  |

Disappointing result, and the main annoyance for me is the late winner. You take the disappointment of conceding in the 95th minute, but you take the point and get out of there. But to go on and lose the game is incredibly unlike us.
Still, long way to go yet, plenty of points left to play for. |  |

I’m less annoyed about Saturday because it was utterly our own doing. We weren’t out played.
So as I passed the stadium this morning I sent positive vibes their way. |  |

This will probably get no end of down votes, and perhaps rightly so, but our recent performances worry me more than the defeat at Cardiff. And that includes the six game run. We were no better for the most part than Swansea, Rotherham, Birmingham, Plymouth or Bristol City - we held in there and, more often that not, nabbed a win late on. The only time we've turned up and dominated was at a crisis ridden Millwall.
If we want to go up automatically, or see off the better teams in the division in the play offs, we may need to show more than we are at the moment, depending how much Leicester and Southampton falter. I admit this might be utterly unreasonable - this season has been superb, whatever happens form this point onwards - but to get promoted I think we need to somehow find another gear. One which, annoyingly, we wouldn't require in seasons past.
But to return to Sitters point, would I think be thinking the above if we'd held on at Cardiff? Probably not. |  |

Lately we’ve played some crap teams, and at times, made hard work of it. Probably making ourselves extra shattered to Nick the points.
Of course it doesn’t matter in grand scheme of things as we did get those points.
But I wouldn’t say we’ve been really on top form. | |

Watched the game back yesterday.
And felt much better about it until the 95th minute.
There really was very little in the first half. Cardiff slightly the better team but we dominated that 2nd half and without having lots of clear cut chances we deserved that goal, and what a finish by Kieffer. As KM said, would've been a very good away performance.
Just two moments of insanely bad defending. Of course there are elements of luck when a ball is bouncing around your box, it has to drop to the right place and it did and we didn't defend it at all well but as you and Ainsworth say, 6 wins in 7. It feels like a bad weekend because Leeds won. But last weekend we won, Leeds and Leicester lost and it was a great weekend. Loads of twists to come, just need to get back to winning ways vs Sheff Wed.
Not good for the heart this is it. |  |

We keep saying how these late comebacks are not good for the old ticker. But after Saturday I definitely feel like I prefer a late comeback to a late capitulation! | |

There probably isn't enough credit going to Cardiff. We know they're lethal from set pieces and they were tidy enough in possession and worked their crossing opportunity for the first quite well. Once the ball was in the box anything could have happened.
We were probably due one of those results. |  |

I think that is a fair point about our form, but you can only beat what is in front of you and and this stage of the season it is all about results.
I think we have looked slightly lethargic and tired recently, but a week on the training ground and the international break comes at the right time to get everyone fresh for a final push.
I'm with you on your previous post though. I didn't feel overly concerned about the loss as it was entirely our doing. They are things that can be rectified. |  | | |

Thought Ainsworth was good on Saturday, he obviously was paying attention to us well before August and it showed in his awareness of what we've done.
Not that i kept the TV on for very long after the final whistle....
Also, even within the last week, still better to take three points than have two draws but we should have held out for a draw at the very least Saturday. |  |

I tend to try not let the result dictate the narrative, I try and look at the performance. I thought the first half was a bit 'meh', 2nd was much better and got ourselves ahead thanks to a really good strike. On balance Cardiff were probably good for a point, I think the win flattered them a bit. Having said that we've come out on the right side of enough tight games this season and sometimes we wont.
So yes, its annoying to lose it so late, proper kick in the balls. Normally losing an away game to a top half side isn't the end of the world, especially off the back of 6 consecutive wins, and it isn't now either. It just feels like it given the ridiculous pace the top 2 are setting.
Still, we're miles clear of 7th and the prospect of going to Norwich and derailing their playoff push is tasty. If they get 6th and we're 3rd, we've got another shot at screwing them over too. I don't think they'll fancy playing us. |  | | |

What’s done is done. Still very disappointed, but they didn’t do it deliberately and the credit goes to Cardiff. It happens.
Just learn from it is all I ask. And beat the hell out of Wednesday on Saturday with a good performance. |  | | |

They're properly on form too. |  | | |

I still can't get over Charlton, 4-3 ffs...this just blends into that, you back off and back off then you invite it.. |  | | |

No, I think that's considered 'bedwetting' on here.
We lost, get over it and move onto the next one. |  |

It is reasonable to be annoyed, as the chance are, we have blown our chance of top two finish.
Why? Well that looked like one of our easier remaining fixtures. Leeds look like they have too much quality to drop many points in that run in, and Leicester also have premier league quality throughout their side so it is still wishful thinking that they will continue to slip up.
But it is football, and it could all still change. But this is not like last season where we had comparable squads to Plymouth and Sheff Wed, Leeds and Leicester have premier league squads already, and that for me puts them in pole position. I would even go as far to say it would be an embarrassment if they can't go up with those squads. | |

Still feeling a bit miffed because it was so unlike us. It wasn't a vintage display by any means but was similar to a number of performances recently where we've grown into the game and dominated the ball second half. We got a good goal to go 1-0 up and it was looking like a proper solid away performance and result, the kind that wins titles. Then Taylor doesn't track his runner and they get the ball into the box too easily, we have the opportunity to hammer it clear but conspire to gently loft it 2 yards to their player, whose deflected shot flies in. It was frustrating because it's the first time since Rotherham where we've not seen it out when we should. To then concede a second (albeit it's another goal coming from a clear foul in the previous phase) from some more ropey defending was really disappointing. Burgess has been great this season but thought he didn't cover himself in glory for either goal, again quite unlike him as he usually defends the area well. One of those days that we thought were behind us and which largely gave been behind us. Frustrating, annoying, but we move on and make sure it doesn't happen again. |  |

I’m still a tad annoyed but more in a ‘what could have been’ annoyance rather than a downright angry mode of it.
What I think works for us is that Leicester and Leeds are not playing before us or even at the same time. The team can hopefully relax and get a result against Wednesday. Hopefully a win on Saturday will put some sort of psychological pressure on Leeds who play a rejuvenated Millwall team on Sunday.
I’m really want Leicester to win against Chelsea as the FA Cup might act as a distraction from their league duties. |  | | |

They will be a harder test than what Wednesday offered up that’s for sure. Neil Harris will demand a lot from his team who are still in a relegation scrap. | | | |
