Saturday’s defeat ended a streak of three league victories in a row<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CARDIFF City are looking to get back to winning ways when they host Coventry tonight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Morison\u2019s side ended their three-match winning streak with a 2-1 defeat away at Millwall<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A first Cardiff goal for 20-year-old Joel Bagan was just a consolation as Mason Bennett and Murray Wallace ruined Cardiff\u2019s visit to the English capital.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cardiff City manager Morison said after the defeat:\u00a0“It was a game too far for us. I think physically we struggled with the game and lacked intensity in our press. Sometimes you have to take it on the chin because it is just the physical stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have had a lot of games and when you are scrapping like we have been, it is physical and emotional tiredness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-match winning streak lifted pressure off Morison after speculation regarding his future at the club, and created breathing space between the Bluebirds and the bottom three.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results elsewhere mean the Bluebirds remain 12 points clear of trouble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been an improvement in front of goal for Cardiff<\/a> in recent weeks and the Bluebirds have now netted in five league games in succession. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result leaves the Bluebirds in 20th<\/sup> place with tonight\u2019s opponents Coventry<\/a> up in 12th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tonight\u2019s visitors have taken 10 points out of a possible 18 in their last six Championship games and head to South Wales on the back of a 3-2 win away to struggling Reading.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sky Blues will now be looking to extend their unbeaten run to three games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
