Squad

Harry Tyrer 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.

Squad

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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Cardiff City against Burnley

1‑2 to Burnley, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Player ratings

One of those days for Rubin Colwill

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.93, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad

No hiding place for Harry Tyrer

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Harry Tyrer, and the manager let it.

Squad

Joel Colwill signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joel Colwill commits to Cardiff City for another 4 years.

Squad

Lesley Ugochukwu says Cardiff City went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Cardiff City get their man

The chase for Zeki Amdouni ended with $12.5M changing hands and Burnley out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Harry Tyrer

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Brentford come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Cardiff City did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Match

Cardiff City make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Cardiff City have 4 straight wins of it.

Squad

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.

Match

Yousef Salech sends Cardiff City past Preston

It finished 2‑1, and it was Yousef Salech’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Cardiff City.

Player ratings

One of those days for Yousef Salech

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.38, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings

David Turnbull runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Boardroom

Oliver Ellis has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Cardiff City can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

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.

Squad

Dylan Lawlor gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

The Dennis Cirkin question follows Cardiff City around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Dennis Cirkin’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Squad

Ronan Kpakio knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ronan Kpakio trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Boardroom

Cardiff City pull $788.8K back off the table

The money that was there in the summer is not there now. Nobody upstairs calls this a change of ambition, and everybody downstairs reads it as one.

Boardroom

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.

Market

Cardiff City turn down São Paulo for Yousef Salech

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

The Will Fish story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Will Fish signs something — a contract at Cardiff City or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad

Yousef Salech 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.

Match

Cardiff City come up short against Bristol City

Bristol City left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Player ratings

Omari Kellyman runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
