Last updated : 21 November 2015 By Michael Morris

Cardiff City reverted to the struggling shot shy side of recent weeks as they went down 2 - 0 to Derby County.

The Bluebirds were second best in all departments as the damning stats show below.

The defeat to second half goals by George Thorne and Andreas Weimann has cost two league places to 9th but thanks to Birmingham also losing the gap to 6th place is still just three points away.

More importantly though it's just another dire effort from a team that has not scored from open play for weeks and weeks.

David Marshall was called to make a number of saves as City found themselves on the back foot again.

Next week City face Burnley, another side looking upwards in the table unlike City who seem to be hell bent on being average at best.
