Neil Harris insisted a lack of quality was Cardiff City;s undoing as they were dumped out of the FA Cup after a 1-0 third round defeat at Nottingham Forest. The Bluebirds boss watched from the stands – a ban imposed after his sending off at Wycombe – as his side made it four defeats in a row.

Neil Harris is hoping the lockdown spirit that rocketed Cardiff City into the play offs last summer can help revitalise his ailing team and earn them a run in the FA Cup.

Cardiff City have been accused of making ‘disgusting’ offer for Crewe Alexandra skipper Perry Ng. Bluebirds boss Neil Harris confirmed on Thursday that the club had looked at the player given the need for a right-back but no bid had yet been made.

Filip Benkovic could be moved straight from Cardiff City to Celtic after his loan deal from Leicester City was cut short. The Croatian defender made just one appearance for the Bluebirds after moving on loan at the start of the season. But with Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers keen to give Benkovic some game time following his spell in the shadows at Cardiff, it’s understood the centre-back could be moved straight on to Celtic, where he spent a season on loan two years ago.

Cardiff City boss Neil Harris is hoping his team don’t make it a miserable hat-trick of defeats to clubs anchored near the bottom of the Championship when his side heads to Rotherham today. Defeats at Coventry City and Wycombe Wanderers when they were both propping up the table put the skids under the Bluebirds manager and he knows a fourth defeat in a row could push him over the edge. “We are expected to beat teams near the bottom of the league. We didn’t take Coventry or Wycombe for granted,” said Harris.

Alan Curtis once joked that the only reason he had lasted so long at Swansea City was that he was the only one who knew where the kettle was. The real truth behind his longevity at the club is that he is the person – more than any other – who knows where the club’s heart is.

Neil Harris is not only battling for his job at Cardiff City, but now has an FA misconduct charge to fight as well. The Bluebirds boss was shown a red card by Leigh Doughty for dissent on Tuesday night as his team slumped to a 2-1 defeat at bottom of the table Wycombe Wanderers.

Neil Harris was shown the red card as Cardiff City crashed to a 2-1 defeat at Wycombe Wanderers – but insisted he was focused on the transfer window not his future as manager. The Bluebirds boss was dismissed 10 minutes from full-time for dissent  and watched from the stands as his side were beaten by the Championship’s bottom club.

Cardiff City will be happy to be playing away from their home stadium tonight  after slumping to a fifth defeat in the Welsh capital against Brentford last weekend. That’s one more defeat than they suffered at Cardiff City Stadium in each of the past two seasons and they have picked up a mere 14 points from a possible 33 on home turf. It is a different story on the road, with five wins and three draws earning them 15 points from a possible 30 and they will be hoping for three more against bottom of the table Wycombe Wanderers after dropping to 12th following the defeat on Saturday.

Neil Harris still insists Cardiff City can pass teams on the way up the Championship, even though his team is back in reverse gear. The Bluebirds manager was in defiant mood, despite losing at home for the fifth time this season after a Sergi Canos’ hat-trick gave his Brentford side a 3-2 Boxing Day win. Cardiff are now back in 12th spot, have lost three of their last four games, and are seven points adrift of the play-offs.

Football fans of all types have been locked out of grounds in Wales since March and for most that means a reliance on TV coverage or online streams of their favourite team. For the partially sighted and blind people, however, the exclusion of audio description commentators from stadia has meant a unique form of connection to the game has disappeared – for now, at least. Ollie Stockdale is one such commentator at Cardiff City and explains his role. I am a voluntary audio description commentator for Alan March Sport in conjunction with Cardiff City FC. As an aspiring sports journalist/commentator, I was immediately drawn to this opportunity.

Neil Harris has told his Cardiff City team they must become more consistent in 2021 if they are to have any chance of promotion. The Cardiff manager has seen his side lose two of their past three games, having previously gone on a four-game winning streak. Prior to that, Harris’s men had won just once in eight games – a sequence which the Bluebirds boss himself admitted was putting his job in jeopardy.
