Three goals, three points, a Severnside Derby victory and a season double over the Bluebirds. It doesn’t get much better than that. It was all about the result, but it was great to see a good performance with some decent football in the mix.
Nigel Pearson recalled Chris Martin and Rob Atkinson to the starting line-up, with Jay Dasilva and Zak Vyner dropping to the bench, where they were joined by Joe Williams. Let’s hope that Joe can stay injury free for the remainder of the campaign.
It was a pretty slow start from the home side but despite having the lion's share of possession, Cardiff didn’t really threaten Max O’Leary’s goal. The Robins were forced to make two changes following injuries in the opening 30 minutes, when first Rob Atkinson (back) was replaced by Vyner, and then Andy King (hamstring) was substituted for Jay Dasilva. We wish both a speedy recovery.
