"That was a great advert for Championship football and we had them rocking for a while.

"If that doesn't bring the crowds back then nothing will.

"We gave West Brom a good game tonight and this was a yardstick for us as we matched them all the way.

"I thought there was power and pace in our play and the movement all round was good.

"We pounded them for 80 minutes but then they used their experience to take the sting out of it as the game drew to a close."

"It was a very competitive game and Cardiff threw everything at us but we hung on and perhaps finished the stronger.

"On this form Cardiff are sure to be challenging for play-off places at the end of the season as tonight they played with a lot of energy, passed the ball well and caused us problems.

"It was only in the closing minutes that I felt we gradually got on top and at the end we were the most likely side to nick the victory."
