Fifth place Leicester had no mid-week game this week but it did not matter as the Bluebirds could not take advantge of the situation to jump above them after tonight's defeat. Newcastle and Nottingham Forest were game less to but West Borm and Swansea both win moving futher away from sixth place Cardiff,Scott Minto covering the game for Sky Sports Soccer Special asked at half time what was Cardiff’s contribution to the first half, he replayed “nothing”. Cardiff was 1-0 down within 18minutes when on loan Daryl Murphy form Sunderland opened the scoring.
The best bet for any improvement by the visitors was if manager Dave Jones could shake them up for the second half.
If Dave Jones kick ass in the dressing room at half time it did not seem to have work, as there seem no improvement. Ipswich were in full control, there was no surprise when Murphy got his second on the 58 minute again ask were the Bluebirds pick up the game, “No” and after a short pause said no only a Chopra over head kick.
At 2-0, there was no chance of Cardiff scoring three goals there would be trouble if it were 0-0 and Cardiff just about to score one goal.
Chopra picked up his ten yellow cards, which means a two-match suspension just what Dave Jones did not need.
Cardiff assistant boss Terry Burton admitted: "Ipswich were by far the better team.
"They played better on the night and 2-0 flattered us.
"Everyone uses it as an excuse but we've got a lot of injuries, including players who would normally be in our starting 11.
"We never got going, though.
"We were second best in every area and there was so much wrong that he (boss Dave Jones) could be talking to the players until midnight."
Burton added: "We can still make the play-offs, but we'll certainly be a lot happier when we get some of our injured players back."
