Cardiff City boss Neil Harris delighted with players' response in Barnsley drubbing
The Bluebirds came out swinging against the Tykes and turned out their best performance of the season and the manager was delighted
Harris came out after the match last weekend and was furious with his team's display and demanded a response from them against Barnsley on Tuesday.
And he certainly got it against the Tykes.
NEIL HARRIS:
“I can talk a lot about the goals we scored, the chances we created, the clean sheet, but I am most impressed with the reaction of the my players," Harris said.
“Obviously I was honest in my opinion after the game on the performance in the first half at QPR. I was honest with my players at half-time and after the game.
“When you do that you want a positive reaction from the group and tonight I got that.
“I thought the performance level tonight individually and collectively was outstanding. The only frustration is that we didn’t score more.”
The victory over Barnsley is City's first home victory of the season and is most certainly a monkey off their back looking ahead to the fierce Severnside derby which awaits them this Friday.
"That was key," Harris said of the home triumph over Barnsley. "It's always going to be chucked at you if you don't win your home games.
"It was important to score early and settle everyone down.
"When Barnsley chased the game our shape and discipline was outstanding to give very little away.
"Important to get the win which sets us up nicely for a huge game on Friday."
