Ridsdale hurt by defeat

Cardiff City chairman Peter Ridsdale has refused to hand a vote of confidence to beleaguered boss Dave Jones.
The Bluebirds boss watched his side slip to 20th in the Championship table after losing 3-0 at Charlton Athletic, and is being widely tipped to become the latest managerial casualty.
"I'm not going to make any comment about the manager. If in the future there's anything to say, I'll say it," Ridsdale told the Western Mail.
"What I need to do is have a period of quiet reflection on recent events.
"The result at Charlton was deeply disappointing, very frustrating and in the end football is about results.
"I understand that at a time like this the responsibility does fall on myself as chairman to make the right decision for Cardiff City FC.
"Supporters can rest assured that is what I'll do. I'll make the right decision for this club.
"I'd like to assure supporters I'm hurting as much as they are. People know I'm a football man and when we lose it hurts me as much as anyone."
