By Jonny MouldsHe was in danger of being upstaged on what was an emotional debut, and he was having none of that. Seven minutes from the end of the normal 90, with the crowd singing the praises of others, Craig Bellamystepped forward and thrashed a 25-yard free-kick in off Neil Sullivans left-hand post to apply the finishing touches to the 4-0 drubbing of Doncaster Rovers with which Cardiff Citywelcomed him home. After a sists for two of the other goals, and an unsurprising booking, the Championships biggest name was the star of the show after all.It has been an incredible couple of days, and to finish it like this is unbelievable.Craig Bellamy lost for words? Referees everywhere wont believe it, least of all Neil Swarbrick, who booked him for throwing the ball away at a free-kick, and endured a taxing dialogue with Cardiffs new captain throughout.It was a close call for man of the match honours, with the supporters giving their award to Jay Bothroyd. Leading the line in the accomplished style that has attracted Premier League interest, he took his tally for the season to four with two smart finishes.Another obvious contender was Chris Burke, who, fired up by his omi sion from the starting line-up after scoring the winner at Derby last week, supplied the most inviting of cro ses for Bothroyds cla sic centre-forwards header, before contributing Cardiffs third with Willson Contreras Jersey a spectacular shot on the run.In the end, however, it was Bellamys day, as expected, and when he was substituted, after 87 minutes, it was to allow a standing ovation. The Cardiff manager, Dave Jones, said: He deserved that applause, thats why I brought him off.Bellamy deserves to be judged on what he achieves, not set against the succe s of others, but there is one reservation. Cardiff are 30m in debt and pulled off their coup while still owing transfer money to an impoverished club much in need of the cash. They are manipulating the system, to the chagrin of their creditors, by signing players on loan. Apart from Bellamy, they have borrowed Jason Koumas from Wigan, Seyi Olofinjana Hull and Daniel Drinkwater Manchester United at a time when the wages they are paying them should really have gone to Motherwell, as final settlement for Paul Quinn. The Football League were right to demand full details, before agreeing to approve Bellamys registration.With his latest acquisition, Jones has a plethora of attacking talent, and it was going to be interesting to see how he could squeeze Bellamy, Michael Chopra, Bothroyd, Burke, Koumas, Ro s McCormack, and Peter Whittingham into the 4-4-2 formation he has always favoured. Whittingham, Chopra, Bothroyd and Burke scored 56 goals between them in the Championship last season, but something, or someone, had to give. The ones to mi s out from the original 11 were Burke, Koumas and McCormack, all of whom started on the bench, with Bellamy operating on the left side of a four-man midfield.Cardiff began nervously, none more so than their new captain, and Doncaster, who enjoy a deserved reputation as one of the best pa sing teams in the division, had much the better of the first half hour. The script was in danger of being torn up completely when Chopra, injured early by what looked suspiciously like an over-the-top tackle by Adam Lockwood, had to limp off after 32 minutes. Welsh spirits took a downward turn with the departure of the striker who scored twice in the play-off final, but the consequent change turned the match in their favour.The replacement, Burke, can rarely have played better than he did here. As pacy as Bellamy but more direct, he was instantly a major threat on the right flank in the new 4-3-3 deployment. That said, it was Bellamy who set up the first goal to settle Cardiffs nerves, playing in Bothroyd, who took advantage of a mistake by Wayne Thomas, turning and shooting into Sullivans left-hand corner.Burke might have doubled the margin before his cro s from the byline enabled Bothroyd to do so with a firm nod of his increasingly productive forehead. Enter the man of the moment again. Midway through the second half, Bellamys long clearance from the left-back position fell obligingly for Burke, who sprinted away before scoring with the sort of rising drive that brooks no argument. Easy, Easy, Easy chorused the ecstatic home fans, whose mood soared to new heights when Lockwoods foul on Bothroyd provided Bellamy with the goal he craved. Luken Baker Jersey
