Dream over: Cardiff City beaten by Blackpool

Cardiff City are destined for Championship football again next season after a thrilling 3-2 defeat by Blackpool at Wembley. It looked good for City after Chopra finished an early chance well but set-pieces turned out to be our undoing as first Charlie Adam scored a free-kick and Taylor-Fletcher bundled home an equaliser to Ledley’s neat finish. A hideous winner turned out to be crucial but Pool won’t care.

An early injury to Jay Bothroyd made a world of difference and we never looked the same. We had our chances, Chopra hit the bar and Ross McCormack fired wide when well placed.

Premiership football for the seasiders, I hope a good proportion of the 40k supporters at Wembley continue to support them next season. A good season ends in disappointment and poor defending for the Bluebirds- as for next season, I’ll be there…
