Neil Harris admitted he felt relief that Cardiff City are still in the FA Cup but he knows there is huge room for improvement as he looks to rebuild within the January transfer window. The Bluebirds drew 2-2 at home to League Two Carlisle to earn a third round replay that is likely to fall just days after their derby clash at home to Swansea City on January 12. Just 5,828 fans watched the tie – only 1,000 above the lowest recorded attendance at Cardiff City Stadium – and although Harris’s side avoided defeat after being 2-0 down, they have now won only once in their last seven matches.

Aldershot Town, who play Wrexham away in a Vanarama National League match this afternoon, have paid tribute to former Cardiff City defender Chris Barker, who died on New Year’s Day. A statement by ‘Shots chairman Shahid Azeem said: “Aldershot Town are deeply shocked and saddened at the passing of our former defender and caretaker-manager Chris […]

Neil Harris has set Cardiff City’s sights on FA Cup safe passage before gaining revenge at home to rivals Swansea City next week. The Bluebirds manager has demanded something memorable from his players in their FA Cup third round home tie against Carlisle after the humiliation of their 6-1 Championship defeat at QPR on New Year’s Day. Harris wants more than just the avoidance of a potential Cup banana skin against Carlisle, but any improvements will have to come without the services of flying winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who is set to undergo surgery on his ruptured hamstring next week.

Former Cardiff City defender Chris Barker has died at the age of 39. The popular Yorkshireman served the Bluebirds with distinction from. 2002 to 2007, played in the play-off final win against Queens Park Rangers in 2003 and was voted player of the season in 2005. Dai Sport’s Terry Phillips pays a personal tribute to […]

Neil Harris has lost patience with Cardiff City’s flops and vowed to move them on before they cost him his job. The Bluebirds manager appears to have reached a firm conclusion on those he believes undermined his predecessor Neil Warnock, the clarity brought into sharp focus by the 6-1 humiliation at QPR on New Year’s Day. It could now be a busier than anticipated transfer window for Harris, who clearly feels it is time to the clear the decks or risk going the way of Warnock who was sacked in November.

Neil Harris insists Cardiff City already have a cutting edge he can sharpen without spending any cash in next month’s transfer window. The Bluebirds manager has confirmed the club will only be making loan or free transfer signings in January, although a number of players are likely to leave. But Harris believes he has the weaponry in the likes of Robert Glatzel and Junior Hoilett – who both scored in Cardiff’s 2-1 win at Sheffield Wednesday – to make further investments unnecessary.

Neil Harris is expecting a rough ride when he takes his Cardiff City side to face Garry Monk’s fourth-placed Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Sunday. The two managers have locked horns before in the Championship, when Harris was in charge at Millwall and Monk was at the hem at Leeds United, Middlesbrough and then Birmingham. But they also have a shared playing history as a striker and defender, going back to the 2005-2006 season when Harris was playing up front for Gillingham and Monk was a centre-back at Swansea City.

Neil Harris is hoping Jed Wallace is forced to eat his words when he comes to Cardiff on Boxing Day to try to gun down his former boss. The Millwall winger was among the first to congratulate Harris on his appointment as successor to Neil Warnock at the Bluebirds, but added a barb to his message of goodwill. “He wished me all the best with my opportunity to come to Cardiff and said he was looking forward to seeing me on Boxing Day and ruining my Christmas by playing well,” explained Harris.

Penarth-born former Cardiff City and Wales player Alan Harrington has died at the age of 86. Harrington, who made more than 400 appearances during a one-club career (1951-1966), was  one of the Bluebirds’ greatest-ever players. He is survived by his wife Gloria and daughters Judith and Rachel. Welshmen Alan Harrington and Alf Sherwood had a […]

Neil Harris insists Cardiff City are moving on from the route one era under Neil Warnock – even though results have stalled. After starting his reign with a draw and three straight victories, Harris’s Bluebirds have not managed a victory in three games and sit in the middle of the Championship, four points adrift of the play-off places. The latest frustration – a goalless draw at home to Preston – was achieved with little excitement but Harris says the team is evolving from the type of football they were renowned for under previous manager Warnock.
