Will Fish leads the rout of Reading
5‑2, and Will Fish took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Cardiff City tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

A day Will Fish will not forget
4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Tempers go at Cardiff City
Lesley Ugochukwu 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.

A masterclass from Will Fish
Marked 9.85 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

One of those days for David Turnbull
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.31, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

A masterclass from Dennis Cirkin
Marked 8.24 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

No hiding place for Ben Osborn
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Ben Osborn, and the manager let it.

A long bet from Cardiff City on Richard Murray
He is 15, and nobody at Cardiff City signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
In brief
- Market Cardiff City buy the years ahead of Stephen Cooper
- Market Cardiff City buy the years ahead of Jack Williams
- Market Cardiff City buy the years ahead of Stephen Wilson
