Cardiff 3 - 1 Dag & Red

Cardiff   3 - 1   Dag & Red

Cardiff City survived a late fightback to ease past Dagenham and Redbridge and into the Carling Cup second round.

Gavin Rae put the hosts in front in the 20th minute as the Cardiff midfielder smashed home a 20-yard shot.

Jay Bothroyd doubled Cardiff's lead six minutes later from the penalty spot after he was fouled by Will Antwi.

Substitute Josh Scott gave the Daggers late hope with a close-range effort before Peter Whittingham's injury time strike made it comfortable for Cardiff.

Jones bemoans sloppy Cardiff

Cardiff City manager Dave Jones said:

"We made it difficult for ourselves at the end because we should have scored more goals, it was just sloppy from us to let them back in.

"It is nice to win but we're always looking for perfection and we were a bit disappointed by the way we moved the ball and every time we did move the ball quickly, we created chances and that is how our goals came.

"We should have been able to throw more kids on but because we weren't in a comfortable position, the senior pros had to stay on the pitch.

"I said to the boys at half-time don't give them any hope and give don't let them back in, then they go and do it.

"But a lot of teams from our division would have gone out today and we had to make sure we were not one of them. We could have done better but we are pleased to get the win."

Dagenham and Redbridge manger John Still said:

"We played very well throughout but in the second half we were much the better side.

"Both of my central midfield players came from non-league football but they dominated the game.

"Tony Roberts was very proud to be captain tonight on his return to Wales and he kept us in the game with a number of fine saves."
