City gave a great battling performance in the first-half and frustrated Brighton and even could of scored.

The second-half Brighton pushed City players even deeper in to their own half and the pressure finally paid off and Brighton go back to the Top of the Championship.

Brave performance by Cardiff City :thumbright: :bluebird: :bluebird:


BRIGHTON 1 CARDIFF CITY 0

McGregor; Peltier, Morrison, Bamba, Richards, Halford, Gunnarsson, Ralls, Harris, Hoilett, Zohore

Subs: Murphy, Connolly, Whittingham, Noone, Kennedy, Lambert, Healey

Crowd 26.688
Away Support 408 City fans

New signing Greg Halford and Jazz Richards made their first start for Neil Warnock tonight in place of Pilkighton and Connolly.

Brighton for the first 15 mins really took the game to Cardiff.

After 30mins City had a great spell and Hoilet and Harris playing well :bluebird: :bluebird:

Then Warnock got City to slow the game down and waste time etc angering the home crowd :lol:

Junior Hoilet had a shot tipped over just before half-time.

HT Brighton 0 City 0


Brighton put more pressure on City and pushed them deeper in to their own half for long periods of the game.


Bamba and Morrison were made to work hard and kept busy by the Brighton forwards.


City players continued like they did in the first-half wasting time and frustrating Brighton manager Chris Hughton :lol:

Brighton pressure paid off and in the 75th min scored Hemed scored for them 1-0 :cry:


78th min Warnock brought Rhys Healey and former Brighton man Craig Noone on for Greg Halford and Junior Hoilett.

88th min Whittingham cames on for Ralls.


City never really threatened and Brighton deserved the three points.

Don't mean nothing at the end of the day, you need to put the ball in the onion net.

For me it shows how far we have come, no doubt we need that extra quality but the main ingredients are plain to see. We are now a team playing for the manager and badge and never give up, no easy game against city these days. The leaders scored just once in two games. Tonight was a bonus game, write it off on to next one.

Onion bag! We aren't far away, we know where we are at now. Hard to beat, organised but need to improve up top. Won't be going down. :thumbup:

About sums it up.

As soon as brighton got the goal we never look like getting on terms. Without that threat up front we will not be promotion contenders next season.

This won't be our team next season, we played a team who have lost once at home all season. We know where we are at, and that's a million times better than under Trollope.

Good effort from the boys and on another day perhaps we could have nicked it. I think Zohore is giving us a lot, and definitely our no 1 striker at the club, but he needs to start scoring some goals. If we had a good striker I'm confident we would be a top half team come the end of the season.

On the coach home. Not a bad performance, but they were just too strong for us. Onwards and upwards!
