Steve Morison has passionately hit back at critics for suggesting his side don't understand the importance of the South Wales derby but insists he's keen to look at the bigger picture ahead of the final seven games of the Championship season.
Cardiff travel to Reading on Saturday in search of a much-needed reaction following their 4-0 humiliation at the hands of rivals Swansea City, a result that brought an emphatic end to a run of four games without defeat. It was a string of previous results that landed Morison the Championship's Manager of the Month award for March, but the fallout of the hammering from the Swans still looms large.
In the last four derby meetings, Cardiff have mustered just one win, one goal and three defeats, with their rivals netting a total of nine goals. It's a record that has sparked some questions as to where this fixture sits in terms of importance for the Bluebirds, such has been City's inability to match the passion of their near neighbours.
