Positives from today vs Boro

• Conway was quality, he didn't stop running all game, impressed with him.

• Whittingham, in the 2nd half pushed a lot further forward than he normally does and when he did we looked more dangerous, hopefully Malky took note of it.

• We created chances, and on another day, they'd have been goals.

• Campbell's movement again was good and caused Boro a few problems in the second half and the end of the first half.

All in all it was a terrible 10 first half minutes from our defence, but we dominated in the second half of the game and were very unlucky not to get one or two more goals, if not for their keeper, I think that we may well have got those extra goals and taken 1 or maybe even 3 points.

On to Derby now.

agree with all that - and still 7 points clear of 3rd place and a game in hand

It's not all doom and gloom ey?

Have to also agree, all teams will drop points who would have thought Wolves would have grabbed a draw last night again Watford. This is arguably the most unpredictable league in football no team has the divine right to 3 pts they all have to be earned through hard work, 100% commitment and at times help from lady luck!

VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM

Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay said: "I thought we had 10 minutes in the first half where we gave two bad goals away.

"We'd started really well and finished the half really well and second half we gave everything… and really penned in Middlesbrough.

"On another day a couple of those at the end would have dropped in.

"Fraizer Campbell had a header that bounces down and just over the bar and he had the shot where he's hit the guy's hand and the referee's said it's too close for him to give a penalty.

"But the ball's going into the net so on another day it could have been a draw."

I am not much nervous for Tuesday despite todays loss as we played well in the second half and we created chances which should of been scored.

Hopefully like in previous games we will have that bounce back ability as we will have a tougher game the week after.

I agree.
