Alex Robertson asks to leave Cardiff City
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Chris Willock beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.
Transfer targets31 Aug 2026
No deal for Liam Bennett at that price
Cardiff City offered $220.0K; Cambridge United said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Olympique de Marseille tell Cardiff City: Jordan Amavi is not for sale

Cardiff City rescue it on 87 minutes
Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 87. Port Vale had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout31 Aug 2026
No hiding place for Kévin Hoggas
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Kévin Hoggas, and the manager let it.
Match29 Aug 2026
Honours even between Cardiff City and Port Vale
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
