City boss Lennie Lawrence has hailed the Cardiff City attack, but has raised concerns over the poor defending that nearly cost the Bluebirds another defeat. Peter Thorne, Graham Kavanagh and Robert Earnshaw got the goals that turned the game around for the hosts, in front of 13,021 at Ninian Park.

Lawrence Hails Attack but Criticises Defence
Lennie Lawrence has praised the Cardiff City attack following their 3-2 comeback victory over Ronnie Moore's Rotherham United on Saturday.

However, the City boss has raised concerns over the slack defending on Saturday, which nearly cost City more points. The Millers were 2 goals to the good after only nine minutes, before Peter Thorne started off a comeback that sent the majority of the 13,021 supporters at Ninian Park into ecstasy.

"We started poorly and defended poorly but we were better in attack than we have been for a few months." said Lawrence

"The balance of the team was better and it was a terrific debut by Paul Parry."
