Birmingham manager Wayne Rooney:

"We knew coming here would be a tough game. Cardiff are a team who stay in games and nick to nick three points.

"In the first half we took the ball and made it difficult at times for Cardiff. They had moments, especially at set-pieces - Cardiff are the best in the league at set-pieces - so we struggled at times with that but thankfully we got the goal before half-time.

"I was more pleased with the second half. We didn't give them any chances and we didn't look like conceding a goal and had two or three really good chances.

"I'm really pleased with the performance but it's been a difficult few weeks for everyone result-wise, so tonight it was important to get the result. I'm delighted for the players."

I think that was a fair summary by Rooney.

Yes, once again Cardiff played well below par, but in all honesty, Rooney set out Birmingham to do a good job on us.
It made a mockery of some of our fans who pre-match were ready to sing 'you're getting sacked in the morning' to Rooney and one suggesting he 'hasn't got enough brain cells to be a manager'.

Maybe we should wait until we defeat teams before slagging off their managers in future.

Rooney 1, Bulut 0 on the night.

I agree with that. Rooney is and always has been an easy target.
I knew that slagging him off on this board and saying we'll get him sacked the next day would bite us in the arse.

Shout your mouths off and then repent your bluster at leisure.
This is City and its classic us to get egg on our faces.

FGS!

Don’t like him, but can’t argue with what he’s said there.
