Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Leandro Bacuna’s red card was his first as a Cardiff City player<\/p>\n

Cardiff boss Steve Morison had strong criticism for midfielders Leandro Bacuna and Isaak Davies after his side were beaten 3-0 at Bournemouth.<\/p>\n

Bacuna was sent off in first half injury time for a horrendous lunge from behind on Philip Billing.<\/p>\n

Davies, who came on at half time, was taken off by Morison 30 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Morison said Bacuna deserved fan criticism as he “let his team-mates down,” and described Davies’ display as “more a hindrance than a help”.<\/p>\n

Cardiff are now just three points outside the Championship relegation zone after the defeat and Morison did not sugar coat his words when asked about Bacuna’s red card.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t watched it back; live I thought it was going to be a sending off,” he said.<\/p>\n

“He held his hands up as soon as we got in the dressing room. We need everyone to get results and if you don’t have everyone, it becomes very difficult.”<\/p>\n

Morison added that he understood the frustration of Cardiff fans who felt the reckless challenge cost the Bluebirds the chance of earning a point.<\/p>\n

“I would agree with them… the game went away from us from that moment, it was a bad tackle,” he said.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker said the challenge could have ended Billing’s career.<\/p>\n

“I’m thankful Phil is not seriously injured in that,” said Parker.<\/p>\n

“I thought the referee was superb in how quickly he defused the situation really in terms of he was right on the scene, showed the red card and just defused it a little bit because it was a terrible tackle\u2026 it could’ve been a real career-ender really.”<\/p>\n

Cardiff boss Morison was also critical of 20-year old substitute Davies, when asked by BBC Sport Wales why he had substituted the winger, who did not appear to be injured.<\/p>\n

“He wasn’t good enough. It’s not sending a message, he just wasn’t good enough,” he said.<\/p>\n

“If you come on, I bring you on to change a game, to help us and he was more a hindrance than he was a help.<\/p>\n

“So we made the change. It’s not nice, it is not something I wanted to do, but I needed to try and do something to stem their flow.<\/p>\n

“It’s harsh, people will say I only did it because he’s a young lad, but ultimately I did it because he wasn’t good enough in that moment.”<\/p>\n

Morison offered no update on Wales striker Kieffer Moore, who limped off with a foot injury, but says he is recalling 22-year old striker Max Watters from a loan spell at MK Dons where he has scored seven goals in 14 games.<\/p>\n

The Bluebirds boss added that he is “not yet able,” to recall midfielder Ryan Wintle from a loan spell with Blackpool.<\/p>\n
