When only a win would do, this draw felt like the point of no return for Cardiff City. Aaron Ramsey's first game in charge of his boyhood club was not as he dreamed. Despite the difficult situation, he brought some positive changes. A draw wasn't enough and Cardiff is in a perilous position. But even if they are relegated, Ramsey won't be blamed.

Ramsey had no coaching experience but still managed to assemble a new coaching team and instill new energy. His relationship with former teammates like Chris Gunter was helpful. The future of his tenure and his own playing career remains uncertain.

The club has long faced division and discord, but Ramsey offered a rare unifying force.
