IT was nearly a case of da ja vue at London Road last night has Cardiff took on Peterborough. Cardiff last visit ended all square at 4-4, tonight it was 4-3 and unfortunately, it was the home team walking away with the three points. The ground has not been a happy hunting ground for the Bluebirds in fact the last time they had win there was a Division 4 game back in 1986.
The defeat was not help by the young French striker Rudy Gestede limped out of the game after only 15 minutes but Cardiff were 1-0 up at the time. Hopefully he will be fit for the Barnsley game along with striker Kenny Miller. Then in a crazy 5 minutes, it was all change and the home team had, a 2-1 lead and you just knew this night was not going to go to plan.
That was the score at half time, but there was still 45-minute of the game to play so I dump the negative waves and pull out some positive ones instead.
It seemed to work as about midway through the second half Cardiff, pull a goal back thanks to Peter Whittingham. Cardiff made it 3-2 with 11 minutes of normal time left when summer signing Aron Gunnarsson scored his first goal for the Bluebirds.
Peterborough equalizer came with minutes to go before full time and surrounded in controversy over a penalty decision again. Unlike Saturday when it went a decision when the way of the Welshman this one didn’t and like Saturday, both managers saw the pen through different eyes.
So it was Squeaky bum time with minutes to go plus what the ref would add for stoppages which turn out to be long enough for someone to score a winner. Pity that would go to the home team making the final score 4-3 leaving the Cardiff side of the game gutted and pointless.
Roll on Saturday and the upcoming Barnsley game where hopefully City fans will get this bitter taste of defeat out of the system with a victory at the CCS.
