Match Report

Half-time: Owls 0-3 Cardiff

Paul Sturrock's post match comments:
"I wanted commitment from the players in the second half. We got that - but I am so frustrated at our defending in the first half. Their strikers effectively bullied our two defenders and I do feel there is complacency among the players now with us having a lengthy injury list."

Dave Jones (Cardiff manager)'s post match comments:
"The injuries to Kevin Cooper and Jason Koumas will test us a little bit because we are only running with a 19-man squad and two of those are keepers. But it's a nice feeling to be fifth and I'd rather be where I am than be down the bottom end. We attacked them, we didn't sit back and I thought it was a good, high-tempo 45 minutes which has got us the win."
