My View / Opinion
FOR ME TONIGHT THIS WAS A VERY VERY BIG WIN & WITH ASTON VILLA LOSING IT WAS A DOUBLE CELEBRATION
CARDIFF CITY WITH THE BEST DEFENCE IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP TONIGHT GOT THEIR 7TH WIN IN A ROW & ARE NOW UNBEATEN IN THEIR LAST 11 GAMES
To be fair Brentford made Cardiff work for it and looked like one of the toughest teams Cardiff have played this season, but yet again Neil Warnocks team dug deep and came away with the 3pts
THE CARDIFF CITY TEAM ARE SO WELL DRILLED/ORGANISED BY WARNOCK
First-Half Very exciting and end to end football
Cardiff Will have been more happy to have gone in winning 1-2 at half-time, for me Brentford were the better team, but its who scores that matters and City never caved in
Captain Sean Morrison returned to the Cardiff Side tonight.

Cardiff were looking for their 7th win in a row tonight.
Brentford attacked Cardiff from the first second.
In the 5th min Gurjic lost possession, Morrison tried to play offside but he got it all wrong as Maupay slid through.
then one-on-one with Etheridge and he curled it calmly into the bottom left hand corner. 1-0
in the 17th min Manga was booked.
The match was very lively and was end to end football.
25th min Sol Bamba fired the Bluebirds level 1-1
But Brentford never stopped taking the game to Cardiff and continually looked very dangerous.
Then bang in the 46th min Calum Paterson put the Bluebirds 1-2 up, it came out of nothing
Junior Hoilett forced an error down this near side, He nipped in and lifted his head up to see Calum Paterson arriving late.
The ball was pulled back and Paterson fires it beyond Bentley
Cardiff Will have been more happy to have gone in winning 1-2 at half-time, for me Brentford were the better team, but its who scores that matters and City never caved in
H/T 1-2
Both teams continued to go for it.
Damour became the second Cardiff player into the book after a foul in midfield.
58th min Kenneth Zohore got onto a loose ball and just poked it beyond Bentley and inside the left post from close range 1-3 Cardiff
