Welcome back to the Liberty Stadium for today’s Championship clash with Wigan Athletic.

It’s been a busy few weeks with the festive and new year period providing the usual host of fixtures to enjoy; culminating in our South Wales derby at Cardiff City Stadium last Sunday.

As Steve Cooper pointed out before and after the game, we went there to win, so it was slightly disappointing we didn’t manage to become the first team in history to complete the derby double after winning the first game 1-0 at the Liberty.

I know Steve and the players were bitterly disappointed that they didn’t manage to get the win, but I thought we played with great passion and determination and there were many really positive individual performances.

In any event, to take four points from six against your rivals is a good return, so we can’t complain too much.

It also extended our unbeaten run in the league to three games – and three clean sheets – so we have plenty to build on today as we remain firmly in sight of the play-off places.

I have to say how proud I felt of our supporters at Cardiff. Not just the vocal support on the day as we out sung the home side, but the conduct of everyone throughout the day.
