Sol Bamba says Cardiff need to cut out mistakes

Cardiff first win of the season will come if they cut out the mistakes, according to Sol Bamba.
Neil Warnock's side are outer surface the base three only on goal difference after behind three and drawing two of their first five games back in the Premier League.

Champions Manchester City call south Wales on Saturday and Bamba believes they need to attach to the essentials.

Speaking at a Cardiff City FC Foundation and Premier League Primary Stars event at a local school, Bamba said: "We've got to do improved at the back that's for sure since at this level every error gets punished.

"When we get a chance we need to take it and I think that's been the disparity so far.

"We need to keep the fundamentals, to be physically powerful and make sure we are hard to beat and then I'm sure we will have a chance.

"We have played top quality resistance so it was always going to be difficult but I think if we carry on in concert like we have been then we are definitely going to win more games than we lose."
It's a view echoed by Junior Hoilett, who also attend the event.

"It's been a difficult start but we've been in sports competition and played some tough teams but it's small details that defines wins and losses," he said.

"We're operational on it in training and I'm sure we'll get it right. It's just the small details we need to fix and the little mistake. I'm sure we'll get the first win soon."

Samba believes Warnock is key to getting Cardiff out of trouble: "I think one of the gaffer's best qualities is his man running," the Ivory Coast global added.

"He can read my mind, he knows how we feel and how we're going to do and I think that's a big strength.

"On the football side he knows how to adapt, he plays the way we play since he knows what we're good at.

"If we had the players to play the way Manchester City play I'm sure the gaffer would want to play that way.

"But with all due respect to my team-mates and myself we don't have those qualities so we play to our strengths.

"Our strength are to be physical and make it hard for the opposition and difficult to hit and when we get a possibility we need to attain."
