Cardiff forgets derby defeat after Birmingham win

Robert Glatzel

gave a positive start for

Cardiff

with an early goal. But the host handed two goals in each half to fall behind, first by

Marc Roberts

and then

Ivan Sanchez

.

It looked as if they would win the game when

Birmingham

goalkeeper,

Neil Etheridge

, well saved Glatzel penalty.

But

Harry Wilson

and

Sean Morrison

a pair in the dying moments to complete the comeback.

“Obviously it breeds confidence and galvanizes the group again,” said Harris.

“Winning today doesn’t take the hurt away from Saturday, we can’t do that until March but five wins from six, in the middle of a difficult run fixture wise and the stinging criticism that came our way Saturday.

“Now we have a tough seven days with Norwich and Brentford at home, two sides I expect to be in top six.

“I went through every emotion to be fair, first 25 minutes excellent, excellent football, forward, between the lines over the top, we got in front could have been more in front.

“We didn’t deserve to be behind, your ex-goalkeeper saves the penalty but fair to the guys to come back. We took a winger off-put second forward on to be more attacking and it paid off.”

Birmingham manager

Aitor Karanka

insists his side must do something to avoid individual mistakes.

“Mistakes are difficult to plan for, we knew how dangerous they were with Wilson when he plays as a winger and we knew how dangerous Morrison is from set-pieces, but we conceded those goals,” he said.

“We need to learn, because we had individual mistakes against Watford as well, they have been awful for us.
