Cardiff City Never Came Back For Kieffer Moore . . . But He’s Massive For Us, Says Wigan Boss

Cardiff City fans have been told they will soon be cheering Kieffer Moore again – even though his two goals slowed the Bluebirds’ promotion push. Moore scored twice for Wigan in their 2-2 draw at the Cardiff City Stadium, where the 6ft 7in Wales striker has yet to find the net for his adopted country. But the player who scored vital away goals for Ryan Giggs’ side on their way to successful qualification for the Euro 2020 finals, will soon have supporters in the capital cheering for him, according to Wigan manager Paul Cook.

Neil Harris Hails Lee Tomlin . . . Again . . . And Insists Promotion Surge Is Now On For Cardiff City

Neil Harris insists there is a Lee Tomlin-inspired feel-good factor at Cardiff City that can lift them all the way into the promotion chase. The Bluebirds managers saw his side earn an emphatic 3-0 victory at Huddersfield Town on Wednesday night which lifted them into eighth place in the Championship table. Back-to-back wins and a 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions means Cardiff are now just four points from the play-off places and only seven points adrift of second-place Leeds United with 14 games left to play.

Reading’s Welsh manager Mark Bowen claimed clubs are powerless to prevent anti-social behaviour from individual fans after an away supporter was ejected for making an offensive gesture during his team’s 1-1 draw at Cardiff City. The second instalment of Cardiff and Reading’s winter trilogy echoed their bad-spirited encounter of six days before with a draw and constant taunts between rival Welsh and English fans. Yakou Meite’s opener for Reading was cancelled out by Callum Paterson, but once again it was the spiteful atmosphere between rival fans that captured much attention.
