"3-0 at half-time left us with a mountain to climb.
"I told the lads that Cardiff would be a wounded animal after their recent run but they let them into the game far too easily.

"It's a step in the right direction but no more than that.
"It's nice not to be talking about pressure for a change and if we can beat Wolves on Saturday I will feel a lot, lot better.
"I know the Dons have had their problems and we played against 10 men for half an hour, but it's still a good result for us.
"The players started really well and the three early goals killed the game.
"It was disappointing not to keep a clean sheet - one lapse in concentration at the end cost us that.
"It's good to send the fans home happy but we are not going to get carried away."
