Cardiff City manager Russell Slade: "It was a really good performance"

Cardiff City manager Russell Slade hails his side's performance in their 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.

Cardiff City manager Russell Slade has revealed that he was delighted with his side's display in their 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest.

The Bluebirds took the lead in the first half through Kenwyne Jones and Joe Mason doubled their advantage after the break which was enough to secure the win, despite a late goal from Michail Antonio.

Slade told BBC Sport: "We dominated possession, we looked the better team and then just caused ourselves some problems towards the end when Forest got a goal back.

"We should've put the game to bed really. Mason won't get a better chance to wrap the game up in the later stages as Forest were trying to get the equaliser.

"But it was a really good performance. A couple of players who played 120 minutes on Tuesday night started to look a bit tired but full credit to them they stuck together, did their jobs and we got the reward."

The win leaves Cardiff in fifth place in the Championship.
