Cardiff on the up after West Brom point - Roberts

Iwan Roberts believes the future is bright for Cardiff City after they extended their unbeaten run with a goalless draw against promotion hopefuls West Bromwich Albion.

The Bluebirds have not lost in five matches under caretaker boss Omer Riza and kept a third successive clean sheet during the stalemate with the Baggies.

"They weren't great in the second-half, but I thought they played as well as West Brom - who are a good team and among the favourites to go up from the Championship - in the first-half," ex-Wales striker Roberts told BBC Radio Cymru's Dros Frecwast.

"Maybe it was the worst half under Omer Riza in the second-half, but Callum Robinson missed a great chance to steal all three points.

"But it was a good point away from home.

"They haven't lost in five, three clean sheets in a row, the first time they've done that in more than a year. Things are looking good."

Cardiff collected just one point from their opening six Championship matches under Erol Bulut but have gained 11 points from the same number of games under Riza.

The Bluebirds sit 20th ahead of their contest against Norwich City at Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday (15:00 GMT).
