Extract from a Wigan blogger below.
Apart from the fact this guy needs to take a breath when he's writing and learn about punctuation, is this a realistic appraisal of where we are? If you remember we were playing a very poor underperforming bottom 3 club (we've already lost to the other two) who are short on confidence as well as skill, how far have we really come?
"Cardiff’s total attacking acumen apart from the goal was totally zero for the majority of the game although as Wigan pushed forwards in search of an equaliser, Cardiff made a rare foray into the Wigan penalty area and from a Whittingham cross, Morrison headed unchallenged over the bar Wigan strove for an equaliser right until the bitter end up after four minutes of time added on the referee drew to a close a poor game which Wigan although nowhere near their best will feel that they should have won."
OK, it's a start and we'll take 3 points away from home any day thank you very much, but Wigan are a poor side and we were less than convincing on the night. That sort of "heroic" defensive performance set against another 40% possession stat may not be enough to stave off others.
The Wolves game on Saturday will tell us far more than last night as to our level in this division. About where we are now would seem about right for the end of the season unless we can take the game to the opposition and impose some sort of control. Beating Wolves would demonstrate a huge step forward.
