Cardiff deserve to be in League One, but they don’t belong there
I’m not used to this. Sitting at my laptop and writing about yet another positive Cardiff display. Usually, I’m really trying to accentuate the positives, or as its otherwise known, polish the turd. Brian Barry-Murphy’s Cardiff are the real deal though and their sights are firmly set on promotion. The truth is that they always […]
The finish line is on the horizon and Cardiff are starting to believe
As Cardiff enter the final third of the season, the finish line is fast approaching and you can see they’re starting to believe. In recent weeks, they’ve taken everything up an octave, started to swagger and confidence is coursing through their veins. Brian Barry-Murphy said Cardiff would improve as the season went on and everything […]
RBY x BBM
Cardiff have had next to no success when hiring managers for as long as I can remember, so now they finally have a (very) good one, I’ve been desperate to discuss it all with them. Here is my eagerly awaited, exclusive chat with the man of the moment; Brian Barry-Murphy. It feels like you were […]
Cardiff have reached the summit, but the hard work begins now
Top of the league at Christmas, after a celebrated cup run, with a central striker that has already reached double figures. A manager lauded inside and outside the club, that has successfully imprinted his identity on the group without missing a beat, winning 20 of his 31 games to date. And yet… it all doesn’t […]
Cardiff and Wales have been transformed by their inspiring rookie managers
Despite Wales being guaranteed a play-off berth, this international break felt a bit like make or break for Craig Bellamy. The expectation was to fill our boots in Liechtenstein, a team with zero points or goals, then any sort of win against North Macedonia, who were unbeaten. In the end, the reverse happened, as Wales […]
Roathboy x Isaak Davies
Isaak Davies has endured awful luck since breaking into the Cardiff senior side, with a succession of serious injuries, but now fit, with renewed international prospects, has redemption starts here. I grabbed a quick chat with Isaak recently and discussed the ups and downs of his career to date. First and foremost, congratulations on your […]
It’s time to liberate Callum Robinson
There was a moment in the game against Burton Albion last night, a rare moment, when Cardiff broke the lines. Callum Robinson, who was not long on the pitch, dropped deep to receive possession and fired a straight ball through the heart of the opposition defence. Yousef Salech was inches from getting on the end […]
Bradford end Cardiff’s unbeaten start and open up a few old wounds
It started with the old Sean Dyche trick of winning the toss, turning your hosts and making them attack the opposite end first. It ended with familiar failings reappearing and the return of scapegoating by some. The unbeaten start drew to a close and a few nagging concern returned. Before diving into a Cardiff perspective, […]
Will the Colwill’s make an international breakthrough?
Cardiff fans have had a lot to complain about in recent years, but now they’re top of the league, with a good manager in place and a talented young squad, the waters are relatively calm, for the time being at least. The one thing that still generates outrage though is the international prospects of Rubin […]
Would pairing Salech and Robinson unlock Cardiff’s full potential?
Let’s be honest, things couldn’t have gone much better for Brian Barry-Murphy to date. Bearing in mind he was picking a group of players up off the floor after a rotten season, and preceding few years, then setting about implementing a style of play that has proven to be beyond previous Cardiff managers and players.
