Regarding Cardiff City v Aston Villa
Neil Warnock:
"It’s the best we've played by a mile since I’ve been at club. It had everything."
Bamba and winger Hoilett have since established themselves as first-team regulars, but midfielder Richardson and striker Chamakh have been released after barely playing.
Bamba was deployed in an unfamiliar holding midfield role against Villa, and the Ivorian excelled as Cardiff secured just a second clean sheet of Warnock's tenure.
"It's the best we've played by a mile since I've been at club. It had everything," the former Crystal Palace manager added.
"We made hard work of it. We should have put the game to bed by half-time, but we don't do that do we? We've worked on being a bit more disciplined towards the end of games - we've thrown so many points away.
"I threw Sol into midfield and he did well. I first saw him at Leicester City playing in midfield and we had a laugh about it.
"He did ever so well, enabled the others to get forward. I thought we dominated for large parts. I didn't see weakness anywhere… an all-round really good performance."
