Match

The run is over for Cardiff City

15 matches without defeat, and then Blackpool. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

The dugout

Florin Berenguer-Bohrer says Cardiff City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Gabriel Osho raises the bar for Cardiff City

“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Cardiff City heard it as anything else.

Squad

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Babis Kostoulas was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Loan watch

Kion Etete keeps scoring at Newport County

33 appearances away from home and 17 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Squad

A move Danilo Fernández would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Danilo Fernández is living that version at Cardiff City, and it tends to show in the first month.

Match

Cardiff City come up short against Blackpool

Blackpool left with the points after a 2‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad

A row about effort at Cardiff City

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Alex Robertson was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The terraces

Cardiff City supporters have found a favourite in Alex Robertson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Alex Robertson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

In brief
