Penalty miss condems City to defeat

Last updated : 08 March 2011 By Michael Morris

Cardiff City blew another chance to grab an automatic promotion place by the scruff of the neck.

A shocking first half from our superstars was followed by an improved second half until Peter Whittingham missed a penalty and with it City's hopes faded.

Palace scrambled in a goal 8 mins from time and Cardiff had no answer.

City are not the only ones, Forest back to back defeats, Swansea one point from last two games. City back to back defeats. Even QPR managed to lose tonight. Leeds and Norwich were the big winners.

Let's face it, Cardiff had two very winnable games against Ipswich and struggling Palace and they blew both chances. Ruthless teams with a focus on promotion don't do that.

Norwich have jumped up to 3rd, City are now 4th.

A very very disappointing result from a team and a manager that really should have done better.
