Two home wins inside five days and the threat of relegation has faded away. Like Tuesday, the opposition made it relatively comfortable for us in what was a scrappy match.
Goals from Conor Washington and Corey Blackett-Taylor before half-time finished the game as a contest and both sides waded through the second-half. Not sure how Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink could claim his side deserved something from the game but he was claiming to be the next Charlton manager before Johnnie Jackson was appointed, so maybe a fit of pique.
The goals were really the highlight of the game. The first was a straightforward punt from MacGillivray and a chase from Washington who shook off his marker and managed to lift the ball over the advancing keeper for the opener after 12 minutes. Corey Blackett-Taylor got his first league goal for the club before half-time. Cutting in from the left and pulling a couple of defenders inside with him, he took a snap-shot back towards the near-post. It didn't look to have the pace to beat the keeper but the covering defenders may have disguised it sufficiently to deceive him and it crept in.
After that, I had one eye on the football and the other on Italy's brave battle in the Millenium Stadium. All the action was in Cardiff.
