Zeki Amdouni wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Cardiff City hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Dennis Cirkin signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Dennis Cirkin and Cardiff City agree another 4 years.

Squad6 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Will Fish 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.

Cian Ashford runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad6 Mar 2028

The manager makes an example of Yousef Salech

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match4 Mar 2028

Cardiff City come up short against Rotherham United

Rotherham United left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad6 Mar 2028

David Turnbull is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.30 with 5 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Zeki Amdouni keeps on missing

Shots: 10, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Joel Bagan keeps on missing

Shots: 11, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

A defender's afternoon for Lesley Ugochukwu

Defensive actions: 43. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Will Fish shuts the door

Defensive actions: 33, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Nothing got past Ezri Konsa

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 32 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market7 Feb 2028

Cardiff City say no — this time

The offer from Rotherham United for Rubin Colwill was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Ollie Tanner keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Cardiff City may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Will Fish 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.

Player ratings7 Feb 2028

Cian Ashford in the eights

A performance of 8.72 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match5 Feb 2028

Cardiff City see off Burnley

Three points for Cardiff City, 1‑0 the final word against Burnley in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market7 Feb 2028

Cardiff City sign Esteban Thyvent, one for the future

Esteban Thyvent is 20, and Cardiff City have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
