Morrison – We let everyone at Cardiff City down

Steve Morison was full of excuses as you would expect as he reflected back on the derby day humiliation of a 4-0 home defeat that made the Cardiff City class of 21/22 the very first to be on the end of a derby double.

The 4-0 defeat, added to their 3-0 hammering at the Swansea.com stadium earlier this summer not only gave the Swans the bragging rights once again but meant that the side managed by Morison will always end with that stigma of being the very first to lose both home and away in the same season in the fixture.

It was therefore no real surprise that he was full of excuses after the game even claiming that the defeat was down to the success of the club and having players on international duty, ignoring of course that the same issue impacts a very large percentage of clubs within the Championship.

Speaking via the Cardiff City official website after the game, Morison said โ€œWe were on an incredible run and weโ€™ve let everyone down, the silence in the dressing room said a thousand words.

โ€œFor this Club we didnโ€™t do enough, didnโ€™t deal with the occasion very well.ย We had a plan, gave an early goal away which didnโ€™t help, and werenโ€™t very good in the final third.

“You can write the last two goals off because people were just running all over the place, chasing the game and trying to make things happen.โ€

โ€œI had one day with the squad, which was yesterday. It shows success in terms of how many players we had away on international duty with their countries, but thatโ€™s no excuse because if weโ€™d won it wouldnโ€™t have been a problem.

โ€œWeโ€™ve lost one in five now and weโ€™ve got a game next week against Reading away. The magnitude of this result makes it completely different than just going again.โ€
