Talk Cardiff City

He’s found a system that works! I think Arbeloa needed a tough start to learn some home truths, fair play to him if he’s adapting

dantowen8195147d ago

Colwill really is capable of anything when he’s on form 😂

leeclarke050848d ago

Short on quality all night but what a finish at the end. Will have to take it.

markmarston55d ago

Yep… can see that tbf. BBM is a top gaffer and there’s a lot of growth in their side. Good young players. Needs a few more through the door tho

dantowen8195160d ago

Moylan is a really good bit of business. The big thing is that they’ve kept the manager and their key players - although I suspect Lawlor might still go

kyle.dimond60d ago

Seems about right. You never want to look too far ahead after being promoted but the season after will be so important due to whether the manager stays

vatsal60d ago

Consistency and solidity are the themes for them. They might start slow but need to keep faith. I see them staying in the league, and then using that to improve next season. They will survive comfortably. BBM's future is one to watch if they do.

jameslloyd14.jl67d ago

Huge news, I haven’t seen this fanbase so united about a manager in yearrrrrs. Hopefully the signings follow now

dantowen8195167d ago

Really good news - because of BBM’s style of football, his past with Man City and his record with young players, it’s inevitable clubs higher up the pyramid will be watching very closely A new deal gives Cardiff a bit of security And maybe an early advantage over Lincoln after they lost Skubala…

Solid move - couldn’t afford to lose him

james.brooke74d ago

Anyone who says they know who he is is straight up lying. Big fee but what a gamble

markmarston74d ago

Did not see Cardiff spending this sort of dosh… it’s hugely encouraging. If they get it done, perhaps it’ll entice other targets to follow suit. I think they could challenge at the top half of the table rather than looking over their shoulders.

Cardiff City are the only non-English side to win the FA Cup - beating Arsenal 1-0 in the final in 1927. Cardiff famously beat Real Madrid 1-0 in 1971 in the first leg of a QF of the European Cup Winners’ Cup - in front of 50,000 fans at Ninian Park. Unfortunately Real won the return leg 2-0 and advanced to the semis.

kyle.dimond117d ago

Warranted optimism I’d say. Got a lot of factors you need to make that jump and stay there.

jameslloyd14.jl117d ago

The optimism is understandable. Cardiff have a very good coach and some exciting young talent. If they can keep hold of the likes of Dylan Lawlor and Rubin Colwill and maintain that positive atmosphere, it’s certainly not unrealistic, despite the jump up

dale.odonnell117d ago

Fancy Cardiff to stay up ⬆️

james.brooke117d ago

Interesting he’s come from City, obviously had a really good coaching education. Wouldnt be surprised to see him in the Prem at some stage. Not yet though, no need to leave Cardiff for now

callum_boyle117d ago

Continue to back him. Burnley and co will be sniffing around him no doubt so make sure he has the tools in place

dantowen81951118d ago

Make him think there’s room to grow at Cardiff, and survival isn’t the only ambition

james.brooke117d ago

Bothroyd said we better no question. Terrible pundit mind you

callum_boyle117d ago

Bothroyd gave me nightmares when they played Leicester although Chopra loved a goal against us

dantowen81951118d ago

Bothroyd for me. Not many champ players get an England cap

dantowen81951118d ago

Possibly, but you could say that about so many clubs at this level. Cardiff are a classic victim of ‘the fish rots from the head’ though

callum_boyle117d ago

Millwall vs West Ham, Villa vs Blues, West Brom vs Wolves and West Ham vs Millwall all edge it but this is a belter tbf

dantowen81951118d ago

It’s certainly more entertaining than Portsmouth v Southampton 😂although I think Millwall v West Ham may edge this one…
