The striker Cardiff City nicked from under Swansea City’s noses could miss the South Wales derby this weekend. The Bluebirds are sweating on the fitness of Harry Wilson ahead of their big clash with the Swans at the Cardiff City Stadium on Saturday. Wilson picked up an arm injury in the midweek win at Stoke and has been unable to train since. Now City boss Neil Harris is preparing to give him “until the last knockings” to recover to face the fourth placed Swans.

Neil Harris hailed his Cardiff City battlers after the 2-1 comeback victory….on a miserably wet Tuesday night at Stoke City. The win made it four wins on the trot for the Bluebirds lifting them up to ninth in the table.

Wales’ major sporting bodies have written to the Welsh Government urging it to allow fans back into stadiums and prevent the “real risk of bankruptcy for our sports”. The letter to Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford asks him to reconsider the stance during the Covid-19 pandemic that supporters will not be allowed to return to sport soon. Some sports fans in England have been allowed to return to stadiums during the last week, with Tier 1 capacities set at a maximum of 4,000 and Tier 2 areas half of that.

Neil Harris hailed Cardiff City’s 1-0 victory at Watford as one the best display of his reign as his side quietened the returning fans. The Bluebirds chief has complained beforehand that his side would be at a disadvantage as Welsh government COVID-19 measures would not allow fans into home games.

Neil Harris insists he is “not fussed” by the presence of Watford fans for Cardiff City’s visit to Vicarage Road on Saturday. The Bluebirds manager is more concerned by the continued absence of his own club’s fans from home games which he says is leading to unfairness within the Championship. Fans returned to Football League matches for the first time in 266 days on Wednesday as clubs in tiers one and two welcomed back supporters.

By Paul Jones Kieffer Moore is fast becoming the playground bully of the Championship, according to his Cardiff City manager Neil Harris.

By Paul Jones Neil Harris’s revival of Cardiff City continued as the manager praised his players for securing back-to-back Championship victories for the first time this season.

Alex Smithies insists he is focussed on winning against his former club Huddersfield Town tonight and any nostalgia can wait. The Cardiff City goalkeeper spent eight years with the Yorkshire club, playing in 274 matches before moving on to QPR and then the Bluebirds. Smithies left Huddersfield in 2015 but says: “It’s always nice to play your old clubs, you always want to beat them.

Neil Harris fears Wales’ football league clubs will be left behind both on and off the field if they will not be allowed to have fans at home matches like clubs in England. Wales first minister Mark Drakeford had announced the country will return to lockdown starting on Friday with the situation to be reviewed on December 17.

Sheyi Ojo believes Cardiff City can use their emphatic 4-0 victory over Luton as the launch pad to get themselves back into the race for promotion. The Liverpool loan player scored the last of the Bluebirds’ goals in a re-freshened line-up who have lifted the club to 14th place in the Championship table to ease some of the pressure on manager Neil Harris. There is still a seven point gap between Cardiff and the play-off places, and 10 points between Harris’s side and the automatic promotion spots, but Ojo – whose team host Huddersfield in another home match on Tuesday – says: “We want to get promoted. That’s the reason we’re all fighting.

Neil Harris insists turning points only become apparent when you’re way down the road. For that reason, the Cardiff City manager is refusing to talk about significant changes in direction for his team – or himself – despite the emphatic nature of their 4-0 victory at home to Luton Town. The pressure had been building on Harris, but he underlined it hasn’t gone away simply because of this result and his team need to continue their momentum at home to Huddersfield on Tuesday night.

Under-pressure Neil Harris wants his Cardiff City players to play as if his future depends on it after revealing he has held talks with owner Vincent Tan.The Bluebirds boss knows the next two home games – against Luton Town on Saturday and Huddersfield Town on Tuesday – could decide his fate.
