    You looked a decent side in fairness. Well organised and stuck to the game plan. Your pace on the break caught us out - which was also helped by our schoolboy defending.

    I was still enjoying a pre-match cheeky lemonade when we scored our first. But for the first twenty minutes or so that I saw, you were by far the better team. You scored at the end of that period right in front of me - and what a fantastic header it was. They guy seemed off balance and turned into a contortionist to stretch for the cross. Getting direction on that was top quality, he had no right to get to that at all.

    We came back into it after this but were caught on the break.with two goals following corners of ours. Quite what our defenders (and goalkeeper in particular) were thinking for your third is beyond me. I'd called it as you crossed the half way line - but didn't envisage the comedy of errors that followed. We were certainly made to pay for the chance upon chance that we missed during this period - three headers from Morrison from around 8yds, one from Manga from the same distance and Junior Hoilett pushing his effort wide from around the penalty spot when it looked easier to score. Two very good tip-overs from your keeper prevented one Morrison effort and that of Manga.

    Thought we were clearly on top in the second half and that the momentum was with us after our equaliser. Ricky Lambert should have sealed the come-back win in injury time but the feeling of déjà vu returned when you broke away to seal the victory.

    Clinical finishing vs profligate finishing, there's only going to be one winner there.

    You have pretty much said what our manager said about the game.

    Have a good Christmas, I'm sure Warnock will have you up in mid table by the end of the season.

    Cheers - and the same to you.

    We were going down without so much as a whimper under Trollope, make no mistake about it. The difference under Warnock is startling. Yes, we're still making mistakes and can't keep a clean sheet for love nor money - but I'm sure he'll be able to address this in time and bet he can't wait for the January window to open

    Cheers for that mate. Found the car park very easily as well thanks!

    Re yesterday, Cardiff put us under more aerial pressure than anyone has this season, and I don't mean from long balls. Corners, set pieces and crosses had us struggling all afternoon.

    We did take our chances yesterday, but on Tuesday we were the the ones missing them.

    I didn't want to make a prediction in the other post, but I always fancy us away from home. It seems to suit us better.

    Good to see an honest view from the other side

    I thought we were over all the better side, but not by much. Our guys could look at your third goal and believe we could have done better to stop it... and then you can say the same about our third goal too and ask WTF was the keeper doing. I still think that Cardiff will be ok this season and finish in a good place. Look at what we did last season mate.... we were rock bottom ... and the rest is history. Second half of the season can turn a lot around. I totally think Huddersfield will drop down but stay up, and I do not think Brighton will be automatic... Newcastle will be up well before the season ends. As for us , well it depends on the January window and what happens to our ins/outs... but I am sure we will be playing championship football next season and for many a season too.

    Big call that thinking Huddersfield will stay up.

    game of two halves

    I totally believe they will be well away from the top six at the end of the season , and will sweat a bit at the other end.

    Re: game of two halves

    4th best side we've played in my opinion. Think they'll do well.

    Through caverns measureless to man
    Down to a sunless sea.
