    Excellent win today, Canary's were woeful and we took good advantage. Got to say Monks tactic of playing DeGuzman out wide paid oof and looked good. Bony was simply awsome and put plenty of pounds on his tranfer fee. Was good to see Michu getting animated during the game and getting a bit of spice into his performance.
    Keep Monk on? One swallow does not make a summer!

    Missed the game today as i have been out but i have read all the comments and can see monk has the team firing on all cylinders today and after reading the match report we looked good...Another 3 points should do it or maybe 4, Norwich will have a hell of a fight to stay up now looking at their remaining games and i wish them well. cardiff's outcome is out of their hands now and their fate lies with other clubs which is not a good position to be in. I think they have had their brief stay in the top flight myself and are destined to go straight back down....

    Did anyone see the journalist sitting in the west stand with a Cardiff City badge on his jacket.

    Think he got moved for his own safety in the end

    Just got back from the game and it was a cracker. Did worry when we were slow out of the blocks start of the second half, and Ash clearing off the line, but after that there was nothing to worry about.

    Routledge was outstanding and I've been a critic of his early season, but he did everything a winger should do, top class display. Bony hell big out house is an understatement, a bulldozer couldn't get the ball of him. Our midfield trio were superb in Michu slowly getting back to where he belongs. He should have had one in the first half. Shelvey played some lovely passes and Leon our terrier harried and harassed all afternoon.

    De Guzman looked like he's relishing his new role. All the players played well and other than a couple of sloppy passes by Chico when he nearly got caught out but I'm splitting hairs.

    First time for a long time that the faithful chanting "Swans, Swans will tear you apart again" and they could have. If the score had ended up at 5-0 then there could be no complaints.

    The only downside, I like Norwich and hope they stay up, really well run club and Delia did wished us the best when getting on her minibus.

    very poor opening 5-10 minutes in the second half, Bony, keep the back heels down to 3 a game pls. MOTM is a tough one, going for Bony

    Roof has a point Plastic. Rodgers never played Routledge, Laudrup was the one that showed faith in him and played week in week out.

    Did you expect anything but a hard 10 minutes from them .they had to come onto to us and they did but for some sharpness from Ash they could have scored but they didn't and we weathered it and got stronger ,those first few minutes in the second half were there defining moments in the match for me and once we got hold of the ball & started playing then there was only ever going to be one result for me .

    He continued with Sinclair when he should have had a break so I have to agree with Roofjack, some mangers have their favourites and Scott was one them .Wayne had a cracking season last year but never reached the same consistency this season but his recent performances have overshadowed Dyer imo.

    Excellent win and performance with only a couple of dodgy moments. Everyone played well with Routs, JdG, Leon and Shelvey (bar one or two passes) excelling.

    As for Bony, he gets better by the game. No goals but his holdup play was top quality and his assists delightful. When Michu gets more games under his belt, what a threat we're going to offer.

    Nearly there now and I see no reason for us not to be playing Premier League next season. Well done to ALL.
