    McGregor: Cardiff Is A Massive Game




    Goalkeeper says Tigers will have to improve on Monday night's performance for Saturday's big game in Wales....

    Allan McGregor knows the Tigers are capable of far better displays than the one shown at Brighton in the FA Cup and says improvements will be needed for Saturday’s Barclays Premier League trip to Cardiff City.

    A late Yannick Sagbo goal rescued the Tigers’ FA Cup hopes on Monday night to set up a replay against the Championship side, but before that re-match comes a key league fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium.

    “Cardiff is a massive game,” said McGregor.

    “Especially so after the last few weeks when everybody down at that end seems to be picking up points. It’s a massive game for us.

    “I think we’ll have to play better than we did against Brighton. We were better in the last 15 or 20 minutes of that game with better movement up front and playing the ball in to feet to get into better positions.

    “But I thought we could have played a lot better. We kept the ball in the first half but were just going from side to side and apart from the two efforts against the bar, we didn’t really have a shot on target.

    “We were a wee bit better in the second half and played higher up the field and Matty Fryatt coming on caused them problems with his movement.

    “We managed to score a great goal with a great ball in from Sone, a great first touch from Yannick and then the finish.”

    The game against Brighton saw McGregor return from a three-match ban following his sending off against Crystal Palace and the goalkeeper was pleased to be back in action.

    “It felt good to be back playing,” added McGregor.

    “It was good to get back in and hopefully I can keep producing consistent performances.”
