FOR ME THERE WAS NO REAL QUALITY TODAY,WITH BOTH TEAMS PLAYING LIKE A REAL RELEGATION TEAMS.

We did most of the attacking,But lacked big time upfront and paid for it big time.

Neil Warnocks first defeat 😥
Cardiff City shots 18, 4 on target
Wigan shots 7, 2 on target

CARDIFF CITY 0 WIGAN ATHLETIC 1 😥

Crowd 15,969
Away Support Wigan 300 approx

City team: Amos, Pelter, Bennett, Morrison, Bamba, Ralls, Whittingham, Gunnarsson, Noone, Hoilett, Pilkington.
Subs Wilson, Manga, O’Keefe, Immers, Richardson, Harris, Chamakh.
Cardiff City went in to this game after two wins and one draw from their last three games and today entertained fellow strugglers Wigan who are without a manager.
Sol Bamba swept up any sign of danger again so far today for City. Bamba stood out as Cardiff’s best player in first half. Wigan looked very vulnerable in the early stages but it was quiet in the last 15 or 20 minutes of the first half. Cardiff needed to find another gear in the second half.

Gunnnarsson also stood out with his non stop talking/shouting etc :thumbright: :thumbright:

City 8 shots 3 on target
Wigan had 3 shots 1 on target

City had 38% Possession
Wigan had 62% possession

HALF-TIME CITY 0 WIGAN 0

Cardiff City did step up a gear and came out attacking,which got the crowd going.

Sol Bamba was immense and was every where.

70th min Double sub Whittingham came off for O’Keefe and Hoilett came off for Kadeem Harris.

Aron Gunnarsson was once again solid and everywhere,him and Bamba both stood out :thumbright: :thumbright:

83rd min was cruel but that’s football. Cardiff were caught short at the back and they were punished after a teasing ball across the six yard box was buried by Jordi Gomez. 0-1 Wigan 😥 😥

Bamba should of equalised in 94th min.

City possession 40%
Wigan possession 60%

City shots 18 4 on target
Wigan shots 7 2 on target
FULL-TIME CARDIFF CITY 0 WIGAN 1
