Another defeat in the valleys

By Keith Ingham

Leeds made changes with Tonge starting his first game, White and Byram coming in with Diouf dropping to the bench. But it was another visit to the welsh capital and yet another defeat, even worse was a bad ankle injury to Ross McCormack, which looks like it could keep him out of the side until after the next international break.
 
With the injuries piling up some monies must be made available to Neil Warnock to bring in a few loan players or this season could be a uphill it struggle. So come on Ken cough up !

Leeds started well, stifled the hosts and had chances to score in a fairly even first half. The Cardiff boss said after the game he had 'read the riot act' at half time and it had the desired effect as their first substitute, Bellamy scored with a delightful free kick then they were awarded a debatable penalty, for a foul given against Lees which was despatched confidently by Whittingham.

Leeds though as in other matches this season never gave up and Austin scored a superb free kick to make it 2-1 and in the last ten minutes had a couple of chances to level matters, especially Lee Peltier who headed over with only minutes to go.
 
Man of the Match: Paddy Kenny, couldn't be faulted for the goals and made some important saves.

On On On
