Marked for Thomas Prickett

The terraces23 Nov 2037

The mood at Cardiff City has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad23 Nov 2037

Thomas Prickett damages knee ligaments — 20 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 20 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match21 Nov 2037

Nowhere to hide for Cardiff City

1‑4 against Brentford, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad23 Nov 2037

Matthew Young keeps Cardiff City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad23 Nov 2037

A fracture rules Alyas Debono out for 49 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Cardiff City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings23 Nov 2037

Age has not caught Joel Colwill yet — 8.28

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.28 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad23 Nov 2037

Dan Ballard in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Cardiff City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom23 Nov 2037

Inquest at Cardiff City

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market23 Nov 2037

Dan Ballard linked with a move away

The name of Dan Ballard keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Cardiff City say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad16 Nov 2037

Thomas Prickett damages knee ligaments — 27 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 27 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad16 Nov 2037

A fracture rules Alyas Debono out for 56 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Cardiff City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings16 Nov 2037

Both of them Will Fish's — 8.69

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.69, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad16 Nov 2037

Gabriel Osho 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.

Squad16 Nov 2037

Tempers go at Cardiff City

Dan Ballard 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.

Match14 Nov 2037

Bournemouth take the points off Cardiff City

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings16 Nov 2037

A costly moment from Ronan Kpakio

One lapse, one goal, and ninety minutes of honest work counting for nothing. That is the job at Cardiff City, and it is a cruel one.

The terraces16 Nov 2037

Everybody has an opinion about Yousef Salech

He is the name in every column and on every phone-in, which is a heavy thing to carry at any age. Some footballers thrive on it; others are quietly finished by it.

Player ratings16 Nov 2037

Alex Castiello runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Matthew Young keeps Cardiff City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 10 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Squad9 Nov 2037

Thomas Prickett damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Match4 Nov 2037

Cardiff City through in the cup

A 2‑0 win over Manchester City, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad9 Nov 2037

A fracture rules Alyas Debono out for 63 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Cardiff City will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Player ratings9 Nov 2037

Daniel Ward scores twice — 8.68

Two goals and a mark of 8.68 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings9 Nov 2037

Both of them Will Fish's — 8.35

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.35, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings9 Nov 2037

Age has not caught Ollie Tanner yet — 8.68

At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.68 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market9 Nov 2037

Jake Wain hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Cardiff City can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings9 Nov 2037

A defender's afternoon for Harrison Duncan

Defensive actions: 26. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad2 Nov 2037

Gabriel Osho breaks a bone — 19 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 19 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad2 Nov 2037

Thomas Prickett damages knee ligaments — 41 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 41 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Player ratings2 Nov 2037

Age has not caught Cian Ashford yet — 8.93

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.93 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad2 Nov 2037

Yousef Salech has been here 13 seasons

390 appearances across 13 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Squad2 Nov 2037

Matthew Young keeps Cardiff City in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 6 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Boardroom2 Nov 2037

The scrutiny sharpens at Cardiff City

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Cardiff City is running low.

Market2 Nov 2037

Joel Colwill wants more than Cardiff City are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Player ratings2 Nov 2037

Ninety minutes of Alex Castiello at his very best

Marked 9.24. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Cardiff City.

Match31 Oct 2037

Cardiff City see off Everton

Three points for Cardiff City, 2‑1 the final word against Everton in a contest settled by the finer margins.
