Erol Bulut will continue to throw a Tanner in the works of opposition defences after 21-year-old Ollie broke Swansea City’s previously smooth-running derby day dominance. Bluebirds manager Bulut has used Tanner sparingly since the Turkish boss arrived in the capital this summer. He even revealed after Cardiff’s 2-0 victory on Saturday night that he and the winger have a running joke that the player is better as a substitute than when he starts.

Swansea City would like to issue a correction. When their head coach, Michael Duff, said he would rather gain promotion than win their derbies against Cardiff City, he didn’t really mean it.

Gemma Grainger has named uncapped duo Lauren Thomas and Mary McAteer in the Wales squad for the opening matches of the UEFA Women’s Nations League.

Connor Roberts insists it is naive to expect Wales to qualify for every major tournament. Wales have reached the last two European Championships and the 2022 World Cup after ending a 58-year wait to play at a major tournament. But making Euro 2024 in Germany next summer was seriously dented by qualifying defeats to Armenia and Turkey in June.

Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut has called for more aggression after his team surrendered a two-goal lead to drop to 19th place in the early season Championship table. The Bluebirds boss accused some players of going missing as Ipswich Town recovered from 2-0 down in front of their own fans to win 3-2. Cardiff have picked up just one victory from their opening five matches, but that is one more than rivals Swansea City.

Michael Duff has tipped Nathan Wood for a future with England after Swansea City fought off fierce transfer interest from Southampton for the defender. Wood joined the Swans from Middlesbrough for £400,000 in the summer of 2022 and impressed throughout last season under Russell Martin – who was keen to take the 21-year-old from Wales to St Mary’s Stadium.

Wales striker Brennan Johnson could still be heading towards Tottenham from Nottingham Forest as the biggest Welsh deadline day deal. Forest’s Welsh manager Steve Cooper has admitted Johnson’s future at the club could go down to the wire as talks continue over a deal that could be worth £50m.

Cardiff City manager Erol Bulut paid tribute to his players’ fighting qualities as they gave him a first Championship win on the day Aaron Ramsey savoured his first home taste of victory as a Bluebird since February 22, 2011. Ramsey’s side snatched victory in the 97th minute in a 2-1 triumph over newly promoted Sheffield Wednesday. The Wales skipper had a hand in the opening goal of the game two minutes after half time as Ike Ugbo hammered in his third goal in four games since transferring from French Ligue 1 side Troyes in the summer

By Gareth James Erol Bulut has voiced his frustration with his Cardiff City players and told them to take responsibility for “the details” if they want to start winning.

Ebou Adams is ready to get into an arm-wrestle with anyone who tries to stop him becoming a success at Cardiff City. It has been a long, painful road back but the midfielder is now fully fit and desperate to show his worth to Bluebirds fans.

Erol Bulut has admitted he needs to sign another goalkeeper for Cardiff City and that links with Arsenal’s Alex Runarsson could lead to a move. The Bluebirds boss wants to make more signings before the close of the transfer window, and possibly before this Saturday’s Championship match at Leicester City.
