Wigan to me was going to be our toughest match of the season so far and in my opinion that proved right.

A very slow start by Cardiff City tonight and Ole changed the line up once again, he dropped Le Fondre for Nicky Maynard which I have to say shocked me.

The first half to me seemed slow and we barely had a shot on goal. Both teams seemed to cancel each other out.

The crowd once again looked half a sleep and woke up for the 19:27.

Fabio, I thought was outstanding in the first half and Kenwyne Jones and Brayford also stood out for me.

0-0 at half-time seemed fair.

Pilkington was brought on in place of a quiet Daehli.

Ole changed the game dramatically in my opinion as bringing on Pilkington seemed to finally make us attack more and start to threaten the Wigan goal.

Great to see Nicky Maynard score a goal and yes it looks like it paid off playing Maynard,who might now start to grow in confidence.

After going one nil up, I though we sat back for a while and Wigan did threaten us a few times.

Le Fondre was brought on for Maynard.

Taylor was substituted by Wigan and did the ayatollah.

The last 10 minutes,nothing major happened and Cardiff controlled the game.

My Man of the Match goes to FABIO, he was everywhere, non stop.

Brayford was my 2nd Man of the Match.

All in all a slow start to the game,a tough game, not very lively but who cares, we won 1-0.

Another 3pts, thats 3 wins and a draw from our first 4 games,what a start to the season.
Wolves you are next.
