It was a home goal that saw off Cardiff challenge at Ipswich and an ex-jack finish them off. With the help of technology more than the 1000 odd Cardiff fans who made the long trip to Ipswich were able to view the game.
The first half City seemed to hold there hold without much goal mouth action from either side but in the second they were dismal. The goals came in the second half with a home goal from City defender Adam Matthews who was a half-time replacement for Kevin McNaughton. Only the young defender could say what the hell he was doing he was under no pressure just a pity it was not down the other end. From a cross Matthews fired home a powerful header past City keeper Marshall into his own net. The final nail in the coffin was around 10 minutes later when ex-jack Jason Scotland who blasting home the ball. Cardiff drop to third with Ipswich leaping ahead of the Welshman into second.
Two defeats in a row on the road next up for the Bluebirds are two home games, Millwall next Saturday and on the following Tuesday Crystal Palace.
After the match Dave Jones said:
"We started brightly but the second half was not the best."It had 0-0 written all over it as I didn't think they were causing us problems but you can't give the ball away the way we did."There is no hiding place in this world and at this level. It is a good job (Matthews) is a young player and he has a long time to get over it."We all score own goals but you are taught as a young boy to head the ball high and wide and away from goal. He has been caught again for the second goal."A lot of players, not just Adam, didn't step up to the plate."It is one you will mull over many times but you can't let it affect you. We haven't got time to mollycoddle anybody so he has to learn quickly."
