Marlon Pack says scoring his first goal for Cardiff City in their 3-0 win over Queens Park Rangers will help him to settle with the club, after signing from Bristol City in the summer. The 28-year-old midfielder scored City’s second of the night on Wednesday from Gavin Whyte’s low cross following a Lee Tomlin corner. And Pack admits the goal was a move straight off the training ground.

Neil Warnock hailed the impact of Marlon Pack after the midfielder played a key role in extending Cardiff’s unbeaten Championship run to seven matches, with a 3-0 home win over QPR. The Bluebirds midfielder scored his first goal for the club he joined from Bristol City for £4m in the summer and also set in motion the move that finished with Callum Paterson scoring his side’s third. Added to Sean Morrison’s opener – also his first goal of the season – it gave Warnock his biggest win of the season and moved Cardiff up to 10th in the table, just two points off the play-offs.

Neil Warnock wants his Cardiff City players to bridge the gap between high-flying West Brom and his team this week so he can put his feet up for the next fortnight. Cardiff – who have confirmed they are to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after being told by FIFA to pay the first £5.3m of the Emiliano Sala transfer – host QPR tonight. The visitors are one of Warnock’s many former clubs and it’s a hurdle he wants to clear before the manager then prepares his team for The Hawthorns – arguably their biggest assignment so far this season – at the weekend.

Cardiff City are seeking more information from FIFA before deciding whether or not to appeal the decision they must pay the first £5.3million to Nantes for Emiliano Sala. The club want to learn whether or not the demand is a one-off sum, or if it commits them to paying the remaining instalments on the £15m deal. The second of the possible three payments is due in January, with the final sum scheduled for the following year.

Dutch ace Leandro Bacuna is making me rethink my views on Cardiff City’s midfield unit. Lee Tomlin’s commitment to the Bluebirds, the clear hunger to regain top fitness plus his undoubted playmaking quality led me to believe he must start. Now Bacuna has turned my head. Fit-again Marlon Pack’s presence in midfield allows Bacuna to […]

Leandro Bacuna has revealed he took some time off before Cardiff City’s victory over Middlesbrough as he reflected on the death of an international teammate. The Bluebirds midfielder was one of the stand-out performers for Neil Warnock’s side at the weekend and has been a growing influence for the team after a mixed campaign in the second-half of last season following his £4m move from Reading. Bacuna played against Derby County but was then given time off by manager Warnock following the player’s return from Haiti, where the Dutch-born Bacuna was on international duty for the Caribbean island of Curacao.

Neil Warnock has urged Gavin Whyte to be more streetwise if he wants to make the most of his growing impact at Cardiff City. The Bluebirds manager was full of praise for the 23-year-old Northern Irishman after the part he played in Cardiff’s 1-0 victory at home to Middlesbrough. Whyte was a constant threat to Boro as Warnock’s side made it five Championship matches unbeaten thanks to an early own goal by Ashley Fletcher.
