"We lost it by dropping the tempo and playing at a testimonial pace after 50 minutes.

"We were dominant in the first half, got the goal, should have got the second and all we had to do was maintain our tempo.

"I don't lose my rag often but that was not us in the second half. We can't be that. We can't accept that.

"That's ruined the weekend and days beyond that. If it doesn't hurt, you shouldn't be in the camp."

Well, I can see his point/ire; any other team might have folded after QPR's first half performance

But the 'new' Cardiff City FC are a different animal; they don't give up easily even in the face of adversity, are resilient, are able to raise the tempo late on, and have a manager who can make the right changes at the right time to make a difference

Mark Warburton's team were guilty of a little arrogance yesterday but it wasn't the walk in the (Queen's) park they expected against our lowly placed but rapidly improving Bluebirds side :clap:

We do often more than not seem to be a second half team especially after substitutions.
Still don’t get why Vaulks started let alone lasted as long as he did. Morison hooked Watters after 35 odd minutes; Vaulks should have been hooked first half.
Morison’s getting praise for his substitutions yesterday but perhaps that’s an admission he started with the wrong team.

Well done on finding negativity towards our manager. You really are an asset as a fan. Keep up the good work.

You’ve misinterpreted and/or misunderstood my point. It’s not difficult. Morison gets my vote.
I’ve posted earlier on other threads Morison deserves credit for keeping Colwill on and not taking him off for Davies but his persistence in playing Vaulks when he plainly weakens the team raises genuine and justified question marks.
