By Tom Prosser The Cardiff City fans still haven’t been able to cheer a first half goal so far this season and manager Steve Morison says he “doesn’t really understand” the fans negativity during their 1-0 defeat at home to Hull. The Cardiff fans voiced their frustration at the end of both halves and were disappointed that their side couldn’t kick on from their recent back-to-back victories. “I don’t really understand it, if I’m honest,” said Morison.

By Tom Prosser Steve Morison has told his players to keep cutting the gap between Cardiff City and the clubs above them – including Swansea City.  The Bluebirds manager will be bidding to oversee a third successive victory when they welcome Hull City to the Cardiff City Stadium on Wednesday night.  Three more points would stretch Cardiff further away from the relegation zone and move them towards the clubs bunched in mid-table, including the Swans.

Steve Morison has revealed he had foretold that James Collins could be Cardiff City’s secret weapon. The new Bluebirds manager made it back-to-back Championship victories after Collins came off the bench to clinch a much-needed 2-1 victory over Preston. The victory – just Cardiff’s fourth in the league all season – lifts them up to 19th in the Championship, two places and three points above the relegation zone.

By Tom Prosser Newly appointed Cardiff City manager Steve Morison has issued an honest message to the Bluebirds faithful ahead of his first permanent game in charge at Preston on Saturday. “Trust us, stay with us and believe in what we are trying to do,” urged Morison. “Everything we are doing is to be progressive and challenging.

By Rob Carbon  Perry Ng has lifted the lid on the last, dark days of Cardiff City and has admitted he doubted the tactics of former manager Mick McCarthy. “I used to try to do things they wanted me to do which in my head I didn’t think was the right thing to do,” said Ng. The young wing back said he lost all his confidence as the Bluebirds went on a record run of eight straight defeats and slumped to the verge of the relegation zone. 

By Paul Jones  Aaron Ramsey stressed the importance of home advantage as Wales booked a World Cup play-off semi-final date in Cardiff  Wales went into their final qualifier against Belgium needing a point to secure a home tie unless Turkey won their last game by four clear goals.  But Turkey could only win 2-1 in Montenegro and Wales’ 1-1 draw with Belgium, the world’s top-ranked side, clinched a home semi-final game in March. 

By Tom Prosser Cardiff City are reportedly set to appoint Steve Morison as manager until the end of the season after impressing the board and fans with his vision for the team during his three-match spell as caretaker boss. The former Millwall and Wales striker has already ticked a lot of boxes and has proved he is capable of making big decisions at senior level. Cardiff’s style of play has changed considerably under Morison with a focus on increasing possession whilst still utilising their threat from set-pieces and crosses.

By Tom Prosser Steve Morison reckons he could have done no more in his final audition for the role of Cardiff City’s new manager.  The Bluebirds caretaker boss finished his caretaker spell at the helm by guiding his club to a 2-1 victory over Huddersfield and is now the bookies favourite for the job. “We’ll just have to watch this space,” said Morison.

By Tom Prosser Cardiff City caretaker boss Steve Morison says his players did “everything he asked of them” despite losing yet another game which extends their winless run to 10 matches. The Bluebirds have only picked up one point from their last 30 but Morison hopes the new style he has implemented during the last two matches can help the club in the long term. “The lads are gutted,” said Morison.

By Tom Prosser Cardiff City’s Will Vaulks admitted the style of play under previous manager Mick McCarthy made it difficult to “dictate” play from midfield and “wasn’t the style that was required”. The Bluebirds are currently on a nine game winless run and will be hoping to get back to winning ways at home to QPR on Wednesday evening. “Let’s be honest about it, under the previous manager, the midfield was bypassed a lot,” explained Vaulks.

By Tom Prosser Cardiff City’s Mark Harris says his side “Shouldn’t be down the bottom end of the table” as the Bluebirds look to build on their fightback against Stoke by ending their nine-game winless run against QPR on Wednesday. “Coming back from three-nil down is a much better feeling,” explains Harris. “Obviously, I’m disappointed with the offside goal at the end. That would’ve topped it off.

Cardiff’s caretaker manager Steve Morison reckons being in charge of a team that had lost eight games in a row is “fun and exciting. Not quite fun enough yet for Morison to claim he fancies the job long term, but if the man in temporary charge can get his players to show the same spirit they found in adversity at Stoke City then he must be in with some sort of a shout. Cardiff salvaged a point in dramatic fashion against Stoke in a 3-3 thriller at the bet365 stadium.
