Squad23 Nov 2026

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.

Match21 Nov 2026

Cardiff City get the job done against Derby County

A 2‑1 win over Derby County, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings23 Nov 2026

Ninety minutes of David Turnbull at his very best

Marked 8.36. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Cardiff City.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Words at Cardiff City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alfie Whiteman is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Callum Robinson 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.

Squad23 Nov 2026

Cardiff City pick somebody else ahead of John Ruddy

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Match4 Nov 2026

The cup run ends for Cardiff City

1‑2 against Tottenham, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

A first appearance Simon Kelly will want to forget — 5.42

Everybody's debut is one of two stories and this was the other one. 5.42, and the only consolation available is that nobody's career has ever been decided by ninety minutes in a shirt he had just been given.

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.

Squad9 Nov 2026

Gabriel Osho falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Gabriel Osho 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.

Loan watch9 Nov 2026

Riley Hilaire-Clarke wants to come home

“I did not go to Everton to sit and watch. I want to come back to Cardiff City and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 13 matches say the rest.

Player ratings9 Nov 2026

Callum Robinson 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.

Match7 Nov 2026

Honours even between Cardiff City and Ipswich Town

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.
