Callum Robinson Substitution Explained
When asked about the incident after the game, Hudson refereed to Robinson's injury problems for the reason to take him off.
Well, he missed the last game through injury. And we know how important he is to the club. I know we are chasing for a goal, but we have players who are raring to go and try and get on the pitch.
They brought some impetus into the game, unfortunately not enough cutting edge. If we push Robbo too far then we could lose him for a longer period of time, which is not something the club needs."
This incident couldn't have come at a worse time for Cardiff, who are now 20th in the table after just one win in their last seven games.
Pressure has been mounting on their manager, whose days may be numbered after another defeat.
