Match

David Turnbull leads the rout of Stockport County

3‑0, and David Turnbull took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Cardiff City tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Transfer targets

Cardiff City baulk at the price for Jack Rudoni

Coventry City wanted more than $13.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Player ratings

Both of them David Turnbull's — 8.16

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.16, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Boardroom

Cardiff City go back to the board over Seb Revan

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $204.8K — a club that wants Seb Revan enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Cardiff City bid $190.0K for Seb Revan

The offer went to Wrexham this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Cardiff City

3 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Transfer targets

Cardiff City rebuffed over William Clem

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. FC Copenhagen have kept their man, and Cardiff City go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The terraces

One of their own: Alex Robertson

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Market

Oliver Hawkins steps up from the Cardiff City academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Oliver Hawkins has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

In brief
