Junior Hoilett believes if Neil Warnock can turn the Cardiff City striker’s career around by 180 degrees, he can certainly steer the club away from the relegation zone. The Canadian forward is backing the manager who rescued him two years ago to produce a similar about turn on the club’s fortunes, despite their drop into the Premier League bottom three following last week’s heavy defeat at home to Manchester City. That 5-0 thrashing has left Cardiff bottom but one of the table and with the worst recent record in the division of three straight defeats.

In the bank is a rare 100% summer tour record when a youngish Wales team, shorn of many of their leading players who were deliberately rested, not only beat South Africa in the USA  en route for Argentina, they also won the mini Test series, 2-0.
