Philogene bags first goal against Birmingham to get Cardiff back to ... (WalesOnline)

The Bluebirds hosted the Blues in the day's early Championship kick-off.

Substitute Williams is sent down the wing and hits a low cross. Anything, just to get him going, but nothing was coming and he was hauled off at the break. He finds Etete, but his close-range header is wide of the post! He just needed a goal, one to bounce off his thigh and into the net. But then came a particularly hairy moment for the hosts when Hogan was sprinting through on goal. He is hauled down and Jordan James is booked. Cardiff, though, forged another gaping chance to put the game to bed courtesy of some brilliant work by Mark Harris down the left. But the miss of the half came by virtue of Max Watters. It was that man O'Dowda again who architected the chance, slotting through the striker clean on goal. Pinging off passes like bullets out of a machine gun and making all the right decisions with the ball at their feet. It was O'Dowda, though, who made the goal. It whizzed past Watters but Philogene was there to tap in the easiest of chances. He let off a tame, side-footed strike and John Ruddy saved well.

Cardiff City move up to third place in the EFL Championship, handing Birmingham City their first league defeat of the season.

O'Dowda was physical in his game and looks to be a dependable figure going forward for Steve Morison's side. Ruddy was certainly responsible for keeping his side in the contest, with Birmingham having a strong penalty appeal turned down minutes later, as Hogan was clipped from behind by a chasing Cédric Kipré, but referee Darren Bond seemed to not spot the contact and booked Hogan for his protests. Cardiff came agonizingly close to a second goal, as Birmingham midfielder Juninho Bacuna was robbed of possession by O'Dowda who spotted Watters baring down on goal, but the striker was denied by a brave stop from Ruddy who ventured off his line to deny Watters his first league goal of the season.

Cardiff City got back to winning ways courtesy of a first Bluebirds goal for Jaden Philogene, emerging 1-0 winners against Birmingham City.

So cool and calm on the ball it's actually a joke. Mark Harris (Watters '45) 8 - A really bright second half from the forward. Was good in the air and with the ball. It's hard after a win like that, but he missed so many chances and he knows it. Looked tricky with the ball at his feet at times, too. Made a crucial intervention to stop a tap-in in the second half.

It’s getting the players to stay in the mindset that if you’re not in the team, you’re going to come on, especially in attacking areas. We don’t have to sit there and put out the same team every week.” I thought he was excellent. He said: “I think with the depth, we’ve got players who aren’t quite where they need to be physically, like Jack Simpson - he’s not played any pre-season games. But on the whole, it was a really promising performance. “I thought we were excellent,” Steve began.
