Cardiff City's Joe Ralls has revealed the secret of teammate Peter Whittingham's free-kick success - never practice.

Bluebirds' veteran Whittingham has made an art of the set-piece, most recently curling home in a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday.

It is a Whittingham trademark, but it seems the 32-year-old is not one for over-doing it.

"I've never seen him take a free-kick in training," said Ralls.

"I've never seen him do it, but everyone knows how good he is technically and when you've got a free-kick, you always think he's got a chance.

"He's got a lovely strike and that showed against Sheffield Wednesday."

Whittingham is now ninth in the list of all-time appearances for the Bluebirds and 10th on the goal-scoring roll of honour.

And according to midfield colleague Ralls, there's still plenty left in the tank.

"He's still going strong," said 23-year-old Ralls.

"The gaffer has been impressed with his running the last couple of games, they reckon he's putting in some distance.

"He's obviously been showing his qualitytoo, his free-kick and his whole play. It's been good."

Warnock has been getting the best out of whitts, Ralls and gunnar. Well the whole team in fact. But the best Cardiff is when whitts is on top form.
