There is no sugar-coating a defeat like Cardiff City's against Portsmouth on Tuesday night.
A second-half capitulation knocked the wind out of the Bluebirds' sails and undermined all the positive work which had gone before that first goal was struck on 58 minutes.
For just under an hour, Cardiff were the better team. For the final 30 minutes, they were horrific. But, if we are to drill down for a mere positive from the evening, few would rail against the notion that the first real sighting of Jaden Philogene was a positive one.
