Pundits pull apart Cardiff City's comeback at QPR and praise Steve Morison for Colwill handling
Quest pundits Ian Holloway and Ali Maxwell believe Cardiff City's first goal against QPR should not have stood.
Isaak Davies, fresh from signing a new contract with the club this week, came off the bench to kickstart a superb second-half comeback for Steve Morison's side in west London.
Midway through the second period, he linked up with Joel Bagan down the left-hand side, shrugged off the attentions of Hoops' Rob Dickie and struck a low shot at home keeper David Marshall. The former Bluebird saved the effort but the ball span over his head and over the line.
It provided the spark the Bluebirds needed, with Ruben Colwill adding a second via a gorgeous 20-yard free-kick just four minutes later.
But Holloway and Maxwell were in agreement that Davies fouled Dickie in the build-up to the equaliser.
"I thought Cardiff were really impressive today," host Colin Murray said.
"The problem we have, have a look at this foul on Dickie, was he strong enough, should he have stayed up?"
"That's a foul!" Holloway responded, believing an infringement had taken place. Maxwell concurred.
"It is a foul, it is, he's very tenacious, isn't he, Davies, and there is a part of me which thinks 'should Dickie be going down there?' He's about a foot taller than him, he should be stronger than him," said Maxwell.
"Then you see Dickie doing pretty much the same thing (for the Cardiff free-kick from which they score), who (Davies) also stays on his feet to his credit. The referee does well to play the advantage."
"But they are both fouls, right?" Murray interjects.
"They are both fouls, so give them both," Holloway said.
With both pundits in agreement over the awarding - or non-awarding - of the free-kicks, they also struck the same chord on
