Malky Mackay not worried by opening day defeat

By , Rugby Editor
Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay insists that his players have enough belief to get over their opening day loss to West Ham United in the Premier League.

Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay has insisted that his players have enough belief to bounce back from their opening day loss to West Ham United in the Premier League.

The newly-promoted side were beaten 2-0 at Upton Park on Saturday thanks to goals from Joe Cole and Kevin Nolan.

"For large periods of the game, I thought we were excellent and it is about making more right decisions than wrong," Mackay told BBC Sport.

"It is day one and we have good belief in the dressing room. We are going to be okay."

Cardiff play their first home game of the season next Sunday when they host Manchester City.
