We do seem to have a problem when it comes to one to one in the box? How many times is that we've been out jumped by opposition? Think NW needs to sign a giraffe or two!!

Corner to the Bluebirds

Lawrence sends over another superb ball into the Cardiff box, Berra nods back across goal but McGoldrick can't connect at the back-post

2-1 City

Zohore again

Yellow

Berra booked, ironic cheers after the ref finally gives way after Ipswich’s persistent fouling.

City finally look like a team who might be capable of challenging the Championship top six next season

Forward

Cardiff still flooding forward, as Hoilett tries to bend one into the far corner but it bobbles just wide. This is really encouraging stuff - they finally look like a team who might be capable of challenging the Championship top six next season.

Gunnarsson down but not out, he gets a good ovation as he limps off, perhaps he’ll need to be substituted.
