At half time Cardiff may have felt they had done a decent job in contining their hosts and coming close to scoring with a couple of effort from Kenwyne Jones pictured). But after the break the wheels came off and in my view, Craig Bellamy apart, the side played like a team condemned to defeat and worse, relagation.
Wayne Routledge scored for Swansea minutes after the break when he skipped past Fabio like he wasn't there and further goals late on from Nathan Dyer and a header from Wilfried Bony sealed an emphatic win.
Garry Monk must think this management lark is easy. He wil have tougher times it was just that on Saturday eveing he found his side playing a Cardiff team who under-performed dramatically.
Question shave to be asked of Ole Gunar Solskjaer. Our two best players of late, Jordon Mutch and Craig Noone were left on the bench. We never commanded any part of the pitch and at the final whistle had got exactly what we deserved. In the second half Ole's three latest signings, Zaha, Jones and Fabio all came off. None of them could be satisfied with their days work although Jones didn't have much support.
Mutch did come on in the second half and immediately made a difference. If Craig Bellamy's rocket of a shot had gone in instead of coming off the bar it might have been different.
But all round it was a shocker. The one comfort I can take from the results on Saturday is that Cardiff are still just 6 points from 10th place. So nothing lost there.
The next two games are at home aganst Villa (who were beaten by West Ham yesterday) and Hull - teams within 6 points of us. The last five home games have produced seven points. The last five away games have produced no points. So it's crucial we get something from these matches at Cardiff City Stadium, starting on Tuesday.
