Steve Morison's message before Cardiff City's Carabao Cup match with Portsmouth was a simple but clear one: give me a decision to make on Saturday.
Suffice to say, Morison's decision-making process will be far less clouded heading into the Birmingham City game this weekend following their second-half surrender against lower league opposition on Tuesday evening.
For all of Cardiff's dominance with the ball in the first half, they had almost 80 percent possession, they were toothless in front of goal, largely relying on shots from range, which were invariably blocked or wayward, as they once again lacked the cutting edge to make telling contributions in the final third.
