We don’t know what we’re doing
After a pair of identikit 2-0 defeats, Cardiff have now recorded a return of 17 points in 17 games, failing to find the net in 10 of the last 18. It’s not pretty and neither are recent performances. Suffice to say, it’s a chore at the moment and Erol Bulut’s comments after the game didn’t […]
Rubin Colwill is becoming the player we all hoped he would be
It’s taken Rubin Colwill a long time to become an overnight sensation, but maybe he has finally arrived. Having made his senior debut almost exactly three years ago, there has been a lot of stopping and starting between then and now. Much has been made of his growth, both literally and figuratively, but growing pains […]
They got there in the end. Cardiff somehow nail another transfer window
I don’t think I’ve ever known another transfer window quite like this one, for so many different reasons. Firstly and most importantly, spending was way down. Way, way down and that probably caught most people, in and out of the game, off guard. When you bear in mind that Premier League clubs spent in excess […]
Expectations have been badly managed during a constipated transfer window
The January window has only been open for about three weeks, but it feels like we’ve all been talking about it since June. As soon as Cardiff’s partial transfer embargo was lifted, attention became fixated on January, when Cardiff can once again spend freely. The reality is though, evidently, that they can’t even if they […]
A few domestic transfer possibilities that may appeal to Cardiff in January
It’s that time of year again, the window where everyone gets all excited and not much of note ever actually happens. This year it may be different, or that at least appears to be the expectation. Coming out the other end of an embargo, Cardiff can spend again, but whether they will is another matter. […]
Cardiff silence a few doubters after impressive festive displays
The signs were not good as Cardiff headed into the congested Christmas period. With a daunting four games in nine days, it looked like they were running on empty and risked tumbling down the table. Questions were being asked about several players and there were widespread doubts. I, dear reader, was one of those many […]
Cardiff need to find a way to stay afloat for the remainder of 2023
As 2024 fast approaches, Cardiff are in a sticky spot. They’ve overachieved until now, but they’ve starting to stall. Whether that’s due to gravity, an accumulation of factors or all of the above, they’re starting to tumble down the table a bit and need to find a way to arrest their slide. It feels like […]
Roathboy x Karlan Grant
Off the back of a disappointing defeat to Birmingham on Wednesday, I managed to grab a chat with Karlan Grant. On loan from West Brom, the powerful forward is evidently a favourite of Erol Bulut, so we discussed his favoured position, firm friendship with Callum Robinson and holding down Cardiff’s left flank. How was the […]
Cardiff are showing signs of wear and tear. January can’t come soon enough
Cardiff are starting to struggle. That might seem like a daft statement while they’re currently sat in ninth place, a mere win away from the play-off places, but November was a bit of a slog and December may follow suit. They recorded a largely uneventful draw at Stoke, a defeat snatched from the jaws of […]
Don’t Call it a Comeback. Callum Robinson rides again
The continued absences of Callum Robinson and Rubin Colwill had turned into a soap opera. Aaron Ramsey’s cruel injury curtailed Cardiff’s impressive start to the season, but also presented an opportunity. There was a void that needed to be filled and fortunately, there were two suitable candidates. Or at least we all thought there were. […]
