Jones: Goals 'crazy' to concede

Daniel Bogdanovic took advantage of the visitor's bright start in the 9th and 12th minutes to secure a 2-0 win for the South Yorkshire side.[LNB]The home team were caught cold by two simple passes straight down the middle and for most of the match they were outfought by a Barnsley side who had suffered defeat in their last three games.[LNB]"We showed a lack of awareness defensively and they were crazy goals to give away," said Jones.[LNB]"Our passing and movement wasn't right and there was no sustained pressure.[LNB]"We played at too slow a tempo and one or two heads dropped, so welcome to the real world.[LNB]"The two central defenders were done by simple through-balls but the full-backs and midfield players are also responsible.[LNB]"They can look at fatigue as a reason but we are better than that and never worked hard enough."[LNB]Cardiff's perilous financial situation means they are unable to bring any players into the club on loan.[LNB]"I cannot bring anyone in to change things around so we have to suffer it and work even harder," said Jones.[LNB]Tykes manager Mark Robins praised Bogdanovic's effort, which helped stop a poor run by his team.[LNB]"I always knew we were capable of winning matches, although we have been on a poor run lately," said Robins.[LNB]"I am pleased for the players and for the travelling support as we have taken them to the depths the last two away games.[LNB]"We knew we would have to defend as Cardiff have players who can score all over the field.[LNB]"Daniel Bogdanovic was excellent today and when he wants to compete he is a very intelligent player and it will be brilliant for the club if he continues like that."[LNB]Cardiff had the first chance of the game when Michael Chopra lofted over a Chris Burke corner from in front of the posts in the second minute.[LNB]Barnsley took the lead when Hugo Colace threaded a pass through the centre of a static Cardiff defence for Bogdanovic to easily beat the advancing Peter Enckelman in the home goal.[LNB]Three minutes later Barnsley doubled their lead in the same manner. This time it was Adam Hammill who sent Bogdanovic free down the middle as he hammered home a first-time shot.[LNB]Cardiff rarely threatened until midway through the second half when, in the space of two minutes, Barnsley keeper Luke Steele saved well from Chopra and Gabor Gyepes and then Gavin Rae struck the crossbar.[LNB]But it was Barnsley who deservedly held out to record a double over the Welsh side.[LNB][LNB]
