Town boss Kieran McKenna acknowledged that his team could have defended better during Cardiff City’s late onslaught, which resulted in the Bluebirds scoring twice in injury time to snatch a 2-1 victory. The defeat was particularly disappointing given that Town had been leading 1-0 after Kieffer Moore’s goal against his former club.
Reflecting on the match, McKenna admitted, “We did really well in the second half to take control, get the goal, and put ourselves in a commanding position on 90 minutes.” However, he lamented the team’s inability to defend their box effectively during the final stages of the game, allowing Cardiff to capitalize on their late pressure.

Despite the setback, McKenna emphasized the need to learn from the experience and remain focused on their own performance. He acknowledged that luck can play a role in football but stressed the importance of focusing on aspects of the game they can control.
Regarding the injury time, which exceeded the initially indicated eight minutes, McKenna noted the inconsistency in stoppage time durations throughout the season but emphasized that his focus remains on their own performance rather than external factors.
McKenna also mentioned his belief that there was a foul on left-back Leif Davis in the lead-up to Cardiff’s winning goal but indicated that dwelling on officiating decisions is not productive.
Despite the defeat potentially impacting their promotion aspirations, McKenna maintained that their focus remains on the next game and continuous improvement. He emphasized the importance of staying focused on their own journey and preparing for the upcoming challenges, rather than getting caught up in the promotion race.
Overall, McKenna’s reflections underscored the disappointment of conceding late goals but also highlighted the team’s resilience and determination to bounce back in the next fixture.
