Some good performances and a lot of fight. Haynes made the difference for me - positive, direct and held the ball up much better than I expected him to. Hamer flappy and if we hadn't got a result I would have said to rest him next game. Good energy from Pritchard throughout. Great crowd support for CP and the team.
We were terrible for first 35 mins and Cardiff should have finished us off. Error from Marshall and we were back in it. The confidence flooded back and the crowd livened up and we looked dangerous. We panicked at the end and almost undone all are good work. Pritch was brilliant as was Dervite at the back.
sat at the back of the J block tonight. Ive lost my voice, hands are sore from clapping, heart now back in my chest from my throat! what a game! i tell you what, a massive imput from the supporters tonight. we did not stop singing for 96 minutes. well done to the boys on the drums too. belted it out all game.
Those at the valley in the last two games have seen fourteen goals in three hours of football. That's roughly one every twelve minutes.
I only caught the result in the last ten minutes but i am absolutely chuffed. A win's a win and scoring five is even better. Yes, we need to shore up our back four but we cannot underestimate how important those unexpected three points are.
But obviously a great game and result. For 60 minutes tonight we controlled the game - confidence shone through and quality came to the fore. Especially, Stephens
when I saw six minutes of injury time at 5-2 up i thought "so cardiff need to score one every two minutes to draw level - no chance"....no way did I expect that to almost happen!!! anyhow, despite feeling a little bit disappointed at conceding those two late sloppy goals, a great win AND COMEBACK nonetheless against one of the divisions top sides...hopefully this is now where we push on to much better things this season. I'm loving the fact that when some people saw our team sheet before the match started they were saying how depressing it looked, square pegs round holes and all that, yet the team pulled off an emphatic victory! he who dares rodney!!!!
Considering we had a centre back at right back and a right back at left back and another centre back playing for us in that position for the first time...
Great game, great fight back, I had a feeling we'd knick this one. Even when we was 2-0 we were constantly singing. Quality atmosphere today! Chrissy Powells red and white army constantly for first 15 minutes showed how much he means to us. Thought Stephens was quality second half and that's why Villa want him, more like that from the team and the fans!
Thought Haynes gave us a bit of flair and much needed pace, scared the s*** out of Hudson and taylor. Overall a food game, however cut out the mistakes and we could've limited them to 1 goal...

Not sure where the 6 mins came from, neither trainer on the pitch, did our best to throw it away, however at 2 down, I would have taken a draw.
3 pts on Sunday.
There are bits of the something inside so strong that will be quite apt
Just hope haynes is ok...
