Nat Phillips has been praised by Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut as the rock on which the Bluebirds have built firmer foundations. Phillips was at the centre of Cardiff’s defensive effort as they won the Severnside derby 1-0 away at Bristol City. The Liverpool loanee has made seven appearances for Cardiff since he moved from Celtic and in the last three of those matches his team have only conceded one goal.

Erol Bulut believes he has stopped the rot at Cardiff City with a victory he admitted was crucial for a team that had lost its way. The Bluebirds manager insisted his team can improve their level of football after their nervy 2-1 home victory over Stoke City. But as exercise in repairing self-belief and restoring optimism for the remainder of the season, Bulut conceded the result was everything.

Ethan Horvath has hailed the influence of Ole Gunnar Solskjær on his career after joining the Manchester United legend’s former club Cardiff City. Solskjær handed Horvath his senior football debut at Molde in 2015 – with the American going on to become the Norwegian club’s first choice shot-stopper.

Erol Bulut refuses to accept that Cardiff City are in a relegation fight – despite their alarming slide down the Championship table. Having been firmly in the play-off mix earlier on in the season, Cardiff are now closer to the relegation zone than the top six.

Jill McIntosh is confident Cardiff Dragons can build on their hugely encouraging Netball Super League opener when they host Manchester Thunder at the House of Sport on Friday night.

Wales captain Aaron Ramsey is set to miss the Euro 2024 play-off against Finland, Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut has revealed. Ramsey made two substitute appearances for Cardiff earlier this month after spending five months out with a knee injury.

Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut has admitted morale in his squad is fragile after their latest setback. The Bluebirds were hammered 4-1 at Norwich City to make it three defeats in a row and six in their last seven games. It is a run that has seen Bulut’s team fall from play-off contention to the edge of  the relegation scrap – just eight points above the drop zone with 14 matches still to play.

Erol Bulut has admitted a total of three goals all season from his main Cardiff City strikers “should be a little more than that.” The Bluebirds manager knows the goal return his team are currently supplying looks more like that of a relegation team, rather than one seeking the promotion play-offs.

Erol Bulut sounded like Warren Gatland as he asked for fans to be patient following Cardiff City’s fourth defeat in five games. The Bluebirds’ 2-0 loss at home to Preston North End means Bulut’s side have not won in front of their own fans for two months. Bulut made five signings in the January transfer window but insisted it will take time for them to gel.

Neil Warnock has wasted little time before ruffling feathers in Scotland after questioning the attitude of Rangers’ ball boys.

Josh Bowler has been told he needs to have more faith in his ability if he is to build on his stunning winner for Cardiff City at Watford. The advice was offered by Bluebirds manager Erol Bulut after on-loan winger Bowler proved the difference with the best goal Cardiff have scored this season Bowler held off one Watford player, cut inside another and sent a delightful curler beyond the outstretched hand of goalkeeper Ben Hamer and into the far corner.
