My View/Opinion
" AT A RAIN SOAKED PRIDE PARK CARDIFF CITY TONIGHT JUST DID NOT TURN UP "
Cardiff just were not at the game in the second-half and they allowed Derby County to take control and get the 3pts.
Derby had lost their 3 previous games.
This was def one of Cardiff's worst second-half performances.
Two terrible mistakes by Etheridge & Morrison both cost us goals.
Ex Cardiff City player Cameron Jerome scored 2 goals.
But promotion is still in Cardiff's hands
Neil Warnock made 4 changes tonight.
Sol Bamba came in Bruno Manga shifted to right-back in the absence of Lee Peltier who was on the bench.
Callum Paterson replaced the ineligible Craig Bryson, while in the front three, Jamie Ward and Gary Madine started instead of Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Kenneth Zohore.
First-half Derby started stronger with Cardiff having the better of the last 25mins and going in at h/t 0-1 up
A stunning finish by Callum Paterson
DERBY COUNTY 3 CARDIFF CITY 1
Crowd 30,294
Away Support 2,897 Cardiff fans
Cardiff City: Etheridge; Manga, Bamba, Morrison, Bennett; Gunnarsson, Ralls, Paterson, J. Ward, Hoilett, Madine.
Subs: Murphy, Peltier, Grujic, Wildschut, Pilkington, Mendez-Laing, Zohore.
Derby clearly had the better of the first 20 mins.
In the 21st min though Cardiff should of had a clear penalty as Derby's Bradley Johnson handled the ball it.
28th min Joe Bennett pumped the ball into the box, it went over Madine’s head and then Callum Paterson at the back post, and the Scot volleyed it beyond Carson! 0-1 Patersons 10th goal of the season
A stunning finish by Callum Paterson
There were two penalty claims for Cardiff, and both times it was Madine who went down, one def not, but the other looked like one.
H/T 0-1
Cardif were much deeper in the second half, and Keogh of all people was causing Cardiff problems.
After a somewhat nervy start to the second half by Cardiff, the Bluebirds have settled again like they did in the first-half.
Gary Madine totally missed a chance to score.
Gary Madine was replaced by Kenneth Zohore
68th min Etheridge dropped the ball, it was kicked away and ex Cardiff City player Cameron Jerome scored to make it 1-1
Cardiff made a double sub Ward was replaced by Wildshut and Hoilett by Pilkington.
Derby looked much the better side for the last 25 mins.
Horrendous defending by Cardiff allowed Derby to strike in the 81st minute 2-1
89th min Cameron Jerome scored again 3-1, awful defending by Morrison.
F/T 3-1
