Have to slightly disagree with you on your first paragraph. For a start how can you say "we didn't really bother them" immediately followed by "their keeper played a blinder"!?! Add to that the, at least half a dozen, last gasp challenges and 'foots in' that could easily have gone in on another day and you end up with a completely dominant display which deserved far better. Cardiff played a good away tactic but were lucky on their goal, naïveté from o'dea for not going down after the, albeit gentle, push.
