Neil Harris says Cardiff City only had themselves to blame

Neil Harris says Cardiff City only had themselves to blame for their first half struggles against Derby County.

The Rams led at the break through a brilliant Martyn Waghorn free-kick, his second in as many games.

However, Cardiff claimed a point with Kieffer Moores' 77th minute goal.

Harris said: “In the first half we were the architects of our own downfall. We turned the ball over cheaply.

“But we had a real calm conversation at half-time. Derby’s first-half opportunities came on the counter-attack but we just tidied it up a bit and the second half was much better.

“I was really pleased with the character we showed to come from behind and hit the post twice. If I’m honest we’re still searching for that rhythm aren’t we, a little bit of belief.

“While we’re searching for that, it’s important to keep the mentality of not losing games. That’s five unbeaten now and they’re desperate to do well.

"We had such a good spell in February or March time and then lockdown and coming back, so perhaps a little too much expectation on themselves in the changing room.

"We are so desperate to do well that you put yourself under too much pressure.

"I said that at half-time today, I told them, 'You are good players, you've proven you are good players'.

"There's so much more to come from the group."

Harris revealed that Harry Wilson missed the meeting with the club he helped get to the play-off final two seasons ago with a hip flexor but said “Hopefully he won’t be out for long.”
