Neil Harris said it was time for change at Cardiff City – but will it be him? The Bluebirds boss had insisted before the game that he did not fear for his job.

Welsh football fans could return – in small numbers – for the clash between Cardiff City and Swansea City on December 12. There have been no fans in stadia in Wales since March, but the picture could now change in time for the Welsh derby when Neil Harris’s Bluebirds host Steve Cooper’s Swansea City side next month. Meetings are scheduled between the Welsh Government and the football clubs for the early part of next week to discuss opening up football and rugby stadia in Wales on the back of Boris Johnson’s announcement that fans can return in England.

Neil Harris insists he does fear losing his job as Cardiff City boss despite the growing pressure. The Bluebirds chief said he felt the frustration of the disappointing start to the season just as much as the fans.

Welsh sports clubs hoping to get fans back into their stadiums will have to wait whilst the Welsh Government assesses the plans announced in England. Football and rugby clubs across Wales have been denied any gate income – and a match day atmosphere – since March when the gates were closed due to the pandemic. But in England, officials have welcomed the UK Government’s decision to allow a limited number of spectators back into venues in lower-risk areas when their second lockdown ends next week.

Neil Harris reckons all the stats show that Cardiff City are a top six side – apart from the one that matters! The Bluebirds boss was left frustrated again after a Kieffer Moore leveller ensured his return to Millwall did not end in defeat.

Neil Harris insists there will be no emotion – just business – when he goes back to Millwall today as the manager of Cardiff City. The London club was where Harris made his name and reputation – firstly as a goalscorer who banged in 138 goals for the club and then as their manager for 245 matches over three-and-a-half years. Harris celebrates a year in charge in the Welsh capital this week and would love to start his second year with a win at the club where he is still the record goalscorer and first cut his teeth as a manager.

Neil Harris wants some of the Wales feelgood factor to rub off on Cardiff City after being hit with a crushing injury blow to Lee Tomlin. The Bluebirds chief has urged Harry Wilson and Kieffer Moore to continue their goal-scoring exploits in midweek when Harris returns to former club Millwall on Saturday.

Harry Wilson says Wales are heading for Euro 2020 confident they can beat anyone. The on-loan Cardiff City striker helped Wales secure Nations League promotion to the top tier of European football on Wednesday with a 3-1 win over Finland in the capital. The victory also virtually guaranteed Wales a 2022 World Cup play-off spot and extended their unbeaten run in competitive football to 11 games, the best in Welsh football history, ahead of next summer’s delayed European Championship.

Former Wales striker Robert Earnshaw believes the current squad will not be “missing a beat” over manager Ryan Giggs’ absence. Giggs missed Thursday’s goalless draw with the United States following his arrest over an alleged row with girlfriend Kate Greville at his Manchester home on November 1. The 46-year-old has denied the allegation of assault made against him and will miss the Nations League ties against the Republic of Ireland and Finland as Greater Manchester Police continues its investigation into the matter. Giggs’ assistant, Robert Page, is in charge for the three games and Earnshaw told the PA news agency: “As a player you’re in that situation on the basis of being a professional and applying yourself whether the manager’s there or not.

Michael Flynn has been named the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month for October – but insists it’s all down to Newport County’s players. Flynn has taken the exiles top of the division with three of their six victories secured by winning goals from the 88th minute onwards.

Acting Manager Rob Page says it’s an extremely proud moment as he takes charge of Wales for the first time in the absence of Ryan Giggs. Page has stepped up for Thursday’s friendly with the United States in Swansea and the two Nations Cup games with Giggs not involved this month.

Former defender David Hughes is determined to increase the numbers of local players who graduate to Cardiff City’s first team after being appointed Academy Head of Coaching. The 42-year-old will oversee the Bluebirds entire Academy coaching department across all age groups from Under9s to U23.
