    I think its a good point. If you look at the games after we lost Hirst and before we got Moore in, apart from the Maidstone and Leeds games in which Tuanzebe played at CB we conceded 1 goal or less a game. We were blunt in attack which meant we didn't or couldn't take as many risks, we didn't attack as quickly but looked half decent defensively. Woolfenden was outstanding in those games particularly against Leicester.

    We used to concede a lot of goals under Burley and Royle but does that mean we had bad defenders? Mowbray, De Vos, McGreal, Venus, Hreidarson no they were very good just as a team we took risks to score goals which makes us more susceptible to concede, I feel we are similar now. If you look at when McKenna first came in we were pretty solid defensively and kept the ball well but lacked options in attack, that changed last January and we became much more direct and open, that changed a bit when Hirst was first injured but we're back to it now. The goals at the weekend weren't great but Cardiff are one of the best if not the best in the division at set pieces.
