Neil Harris issues apology to Cardiff City fans after QPR hammering and promises shocking display won't happen again

The Bluebirds were woeful in north west London. and the overall play was utterly disjointed and feckless.

It will come as a huge disappointment to Harris and City supporters in general, who had felt the club was on the cusp of turning a corner after a brilliant win over Sheffield Wednesday last weekend.

But the visitors were simply not good enough from the off and

And, after the match, Harris was audibly unhappy with his team's shocking performance.

"I didn’t recognise my team out there defensively," Harris said.

"First and foremost I have to apologise to our fans. They don’t deserve that.

"The players need to look at themselves individually and collectively.”

The defeat has stirred ire among supporters and understandably so. It is the first time City have conceded six goals in a Championship match since 2009.

But the manager was firm in his words after the match and vowed such a tepid display would never happen again on his watch.

"Neil (Warnock) lost his job because of the performances of the players," the Bluebirds boss added.

"Some of them can’t reach the standards that I demand.

"What I can promise the fan base, it won’t happen again under me."
