Is Gavin Whyte better than Kadeem Harris?
Tonight will see Kadeem Harris return to the Cardiff City Stadium and come face to face with his replacement, Gavin Whyte. It will be an interesting opportunity to compare and contrast the pair, as Cardiff trade blows with Sheffield Wednesday. Both have made strong starts to the season, but seeing as Whyte was brought in […]
Poor Will Vaulks, gone in 60 minutes
The fact that Will Vaulks has more chance of playing for Wales these days than Cardiff is a bit weird. After all, it’s not like Cardiff have players the calibre of Joe Allen, Ethan Ampadu and Aaron Ramsey, but that’s where we are. It just hasn’t happened for Vaulks yet. It’s starting to look like […]
VFTN’s September Player of the Month is…
Leandro Bacuna is the worst player I’ve ever seen in my life. Remember that? Only a few weeks ago, some were going in on Bacuna, as he was left to carry the can for an inauspicious start. Fast forward a month and he is very much back in fashion and our Player of the Month […]
Smithies has done OK, but Etheridge walks straight back in, surely?
Alex Smithies has had to wait a long time for his chance and he’s done OK, but Neil Etheridge walks straight back in to the side, surely? Smithies has done little wrong. He probably flaps a bit more than Etheridge and doesn’t exude calm in the same way, but maybe that would come in time, […]
VFTN’s August Player of the Month is…
When we decided to introduce a VFTN Player of the Month for this season, we expected it would be fiercely contested and fiercely argued, but it wasn’t. At least not this month. It’s Joe Ralls. Obviously. After a pretty mediocre start to the season, Ralls has been one of the few shining lights. Always a […]
Four free midfield enforcers that could be of interest
With Marlon Pack not expected to play again this side of Halloween, Cardiff are sifting through the existing raft of free agents. Here are our pick of the bunch; Lewis Holtby http://gty.im/1139479194 Guys, we’ve covered this one. Sign him up already! The German born, former Under-21 captain is probably the pick of the freebies, having […]
Cardiff fans have a type and if you’re not it, you’re in trouble
Cardiff fans certainly have a type and if you’re not that type, you’re destined to be in for a rough ride. I remember Gareth Ainsworth (I’m showing my age here), who is now the manager of Wycombe Wanderers, making his debut for Cardiff. He was a balls-to-the-wall right winger and chased a bouncing ball and […]
Emiliano Sala likely looms large over Cardiff’s transfer dealings
The Emiliano Sala tragedy still has the power to take your breath away and every revelation, like the recent carbon monoxide claims, just feels like another punch to the stomach. It still doesn’t quite feel real and closure feels as elusive as ever. The story continues to run and run, with no end in sight. […]

Dave Jones on Wembley – Part Two
Part two of our exclusive chat with Dave Jones covers the play-off final and how he reflects on all three Wembley games, a decade or so later. How did your approach to the Portsmouth game, where you were now very much the underdog, differ from the Barnsley game and how do you reflect on […]
