Pretty much nailed top spot now.
I feel for Bonatini as his effort against the post was actually a very clever piece of thinking (notice how the defender moves away from the goal line and then he goes for goal). Sums up his 2nd half of the season.
Apart from the frentic last couple of minutes and 2 missed penalties, Cardiff hardly posed a threat and for a team that sits second I'm amazed at their lack of skill and tactical nous. As other have said before they play a horrible brand of football (Warnock style), yes effective at this level, and they seem to be the best at it, but it's not going to stand up to the pressure of the Premier League.
For most of the game Wolves passed them off the park and if Costa had scored late on (lovely piece of skill to set it up though) we would have been saved the heart failures in injury time.
Full kudos to Ruddy who has copped a lot of flak in the last couple of months - his overall game and penalty save has made up for his howler against Norwich.
Interestingly in 08/09 when we last went up it was with 90 pts and a goal difference of +28. This season we're at 89 pts after only 41 games and a goal difference of +38. We'll probably go close to 100 pts score about 80 odd goals but our defence is so much stronger which augers well for next season in the Premier League (I know we'll have upgrades, but a back 3 of Boly, Coady and Bennett is still probably good enough for a mid-table finish).
